The Penguin Episode 7 Ending Explained: Does Sofia Kill Oz’s Mother?

As a seasoned gamer who’s spent countless hours navigating through the labyrinth of Gotham City, I must say that The Penguin’s latest escapade in Episode 7, Top Hat, has left me intrigued and on the edge of my seat! The suspense was palpable as the episode began with a flashback to the tragic day that shaped Oz’s life.


Spectators are pondering if Sofia Gigante, played by Cristin Milioti, ends up killing Francis Cobb, portrayed by Deirdre O’Connell, in Episode 7 of The Penguin. This episode starts with a flashback scene recounting the day when Oz’s brothers passed away. It offers valuable insights into Oz’s character and suggests what may transpire during his upcoming encounter with Sofia.

What happens to Oz’s operation at the end of The Penguin Episode 7?

In the climax of The Penguin’s Episode 7, I, a devoted fan, found myself on the edge of my seat as Sofia orchestrated a cunning scheme. She tricked Oz into believing she was freeing his mother, luring him into a deadly trap. With blind trust, Oz allowed the trolley filled with explosives to get too close. Just when it seemed all was lost, he spotted the truth about the payload. In a split second, he made a desperate dash towards the overflow tunnel – a hideout familiar from a flashback sequence, where his brothers had once taken refuge. The explosion rocked the station, but Oz miraculously survived. Unfortunately, his loyal subordinates, all except Vic who was absent at the time, were not as fortunate.

Later on, Oz comes to and resurfaces, only to find the destruction wrought by the blast all around. One of Sofia’s associates steps forward and addresses Oz as ‘The Penguin’. He informs Oz that Sofia desires a meeting with him, but first, he knocks Oz unconscious.

Does Sofia Kill Oz’s mother in The Penguin Episode 7?

Sofia doesn’t actually kill Oz’s mother, but she tricks him into thinking it’s Francis’ body she sent him as a “present.” He notices red hair in the backseat of the car that Sofia sent, which makes him suspect something terrible has happened. He feels momentarily relieved when he learns it was just a wig. However, he later finds a timer and explosives, forcing him to flee for safety.

How could Oz beat Sofia in The Penguin finale?

In the final moments of episode 7, Oz’s chances appear to be heavily stacked against him, yet history has shown that he excels under pressure. Despite his base being demolished and his capture, Vic (Rhenzy Feliz) remains at large, possibly rallying forces. Therefore, there is a glimmer of optimism left.

It’s likely that Sofia has maintained Francis alive due to her being the one person in Oz’s life he deeply dreads losing. This episode suggests that Oz may have murdered his brothers out of jealousy, as he received less affection from their mother compared to them. He embodies a chilling character suitable for the Batman world. Despite seemingly sharing this dark side of Gotham City after carrying out two massacres, Sofia’s actions are primarily fueled by her thirst for vengeance. However, she is no rival for the cunning and strategic Oswald “Oz” Cobb.
