Here's everything you need to know about the ending of The Penguin Episode 3.
The episode is named after Sofia and Oz’s new drug. It turns out that Sofia is behind the plans for the drug, not Alberto. A “powerful euphoric stimulant” made from a rare strain of mushroom, the drug was administered to Sofia while she was in Arkham. It seems she correctly suspected that it would sell incredibly well in a city recently hit by man-made flooding and multiple tragedies.
Sofia and Oz find a distributor in the Triad by convincing the leader that they have Johnny Viti's support after blackmailing the latter for his affair with Luca Falcone's wife. Sofia and Oz also hold a trial for the drug at a Triad-run club, which passes with flying colors.
