Summary of Stephness: Tim spots Steph at school and reflects about how he's in a love pentagon...Tim, Zoanne and Stephanie as well as Robin and Spoiler. He asks Steph if she knows anything about the gang uprising, and she asks him what he's still doing at school while Gotham's falling apart. He replies he doesn't know, and gets a text from Officer Harper telling him to look at the TV. Steph comes with him and they see that the dirty cops Cavallo and Wise have been publicly arrested. Stephanie points out Tim is pretty tight with Officer Harper and Tim replies they both have the good of Gotham in mind.

Later, Spoiler is talking with The General, looking over his plans to control the gangs in Gotham, which are similar to Tim's own plans. The General has had quite a growth spurt, which Steph points out, flirting a little, but the villian is worried Stephanie's mysterious plans may conflict with his, and he shoots at her.
