Holy shocking twist, Batman!

We still can't get over that huge Gotham twist at the end of this week's episode: the Penguin had it all planned from the start!

Who would have thought Oswald Cobblepot (Robin Lord Taylor) was such a brilliant mastermind and could orchestrate such an amazing long con? After snitching to the cops about Falcone's (John Doman) crime operation back in the pilot, it turns out that Cobblepot began working with Falcone behind everyone's backs—Fish Mooney (Jada Pinkett Smith), Maroni (David Zayas), and even Det. Jim Gordon (Ben McKenzie) himself. He's been snitching on everything from Fish's secret affair with Falcone's No. 2 guy, her plans to backstab Falcone for her own gain, everything about Maroni's operation, all for a place at Falcone's side.

This twist was so insanely smart, so creatively intriguing and such a gamechanger that we just had to find out more. Did Taylor know the Penguin's plans from the very beginning? And does Smith think Fish has what it takes to one up the Penguin?

Check out our exclusive video above to find out what both Taylor and Smith thought of the shocking reveal, and how it's going to affect the Penguin and Fish going forward!

Plus, there's even a sneak peek at an upcoming scene between Penguin and Fish that is so epic and intense, you have to see it to believe it. All we can think is...what's in the box?!

Gotham airs Mondays at 8 pm on Fox.
