The Penguin Episode 4 Recap & Ending Explained: Who Died?

by

As a longtime fan of the Gotham City saga and having witnessed the rise and fall of many of its iconic characters, I must say that Sofia Falcone’s transformation from a seemingly innocent daughter to a ruthless avenger in The Penguin Episode 4 has left me absolutely spellbound. It’s as if the city itself breathed new life into her, pushing her to the brink and forcing her to confront her own darkness.

Title for “The Penguin” Episode 4 is “Cent’Anni,” an Italian phrase loosely translated as “100 years.” Typically used in joyous occasions to wish longevity, Sofia Falcone (played by Cristin Milioti) employs it during a family gathering. Yet, her ensuing actions twist the meaning and lead to numerous deaths. Here’s an overview of the ending for “The Penguin” Episode 4.

What happened at the end of The Penguin Episode 4?

In Episode 4 of The Penguin, the story continues directly from where it left off in Episode 3, zeroing in on Sofia as gunfire erupts around her, and she grapples with the enormity of Oz’s (Colin Farrell) deceit. On the brink of unconsciousness due to her wounds, Sofia manages to contact Julian Rush (Theo Rossi). Following this, a sequence of flashbacks unfolds, explaining how Sofia found herself at Arkham Asylum. Previously hinted in Episode 3, it is now revealed that Sofia was not the Hangman, as suggested by her. The narrative twist also uncovers Carmine as the serial killer who murdered his wife and other women. He framed Sofia for the recent killings after she spoke to reporter Summer Gleeson.

Currently, Sofia unexpectedly shows up at the family dinner and announces her plans to begin a new life the next day, causing the Falcones to think she’s leaving for Italy as expected. However, tragically, many of them, including Luca, fail to wake up the following morning because Sofia had secretly used some deadly gas to take their lives.

Why Did Sofia kill Luca and other members of the Falcone family?

The flashback reveals Carmine told Sofia that she was his intended successor. But, he disposed of her the moment she became a threat to him, and the rest of the family lined up behind him to betray her. The only person who stayed at her side through it all was Alberto. His death and the desire for revenge against Oz serve as primary motives for Sofia to kill Luca and other members of her family. Further, it gained her control over the family business, establishing her in Gotham City’s criminal underworld.

Regrettably, Sofia’s actions have actually benefited Oz, who seems to flourish in disarray.

Why did Sofia spare Johnny and Gia Viti?

Sofia chose not to harm Gia as she was the sole individual at the family event with no involvement in whatever wrongdoing had taken place. It’s possible that Sofia recognizes a piece of herself in Gia, albeit sadly, her decision may ultimately scar the girl when she learns about the incident.

As a loyal follower of the gripping tale, I choose mercy towards Johnny, the underboss, who holds significant influence in the Falcone organization. His power could be instrumental in helping me seize control. Moreover, it’s evident that Johnny harbors disdain for Oz, making him an ideal ally in my struggle against our common adversary.
