Presenting himself to the at-first skeptical followers, he sells them on the idea that “We are Jerome!” and they set out to rally the city to their crazy cause by taking a local newscast hostage. So, with the cops bearing down on him and having had some hiccups resurrecting Jerome, Dwight goes with Plan B – cutting off Jerome’s face (a shout-out to a Joker storyline in the comics a few years ago) and wearing it as his own. Lucius is able to figure out where Dwight’s Indian Hill annex is by tracking power surges, though a mole at the precinct tips Dwight off. Turns out Dwight didn’t already have custody of Jerome’s body so, as “Smile Like You Mean It” begins, he sets out with a band of followers (who, I didn’t mention last week, kinda remind me of the Jokerz gang from the “Batman Beyond” animated series) to retrieve it from the Wayne Enterprises facility where it’s been inexplicably parked. “Gotham” continues its midseason Jerome arc with “Smile Like You Mean It.” While the main plot had me grinning, the side stories were more of a frown.
