‘Gotham’ Recap: Dr. Strange Befriends Mr. Freeze

On Monday’s Gotham, Victor Fries became Mr. Freeze with a little help from Dr. Strange. Victor broke into Arkham Asylum, where the police were treating his wife, and got her out using a getaway car provided by Dr. Strange.

Victor was hoping to freeze his terminally ill wife until a cure could be found. He figured he would go to jail and she would be taken care of by Gotham City. But his wife, Nora, didn’t want to live if it meant he would be in prison, so she switched the canisters in his freeze gun, which resulted in her death. Grief-stricken by the loss of his love, Victor attempted to freeze himself to death, but Dr. Strange had other ideas.

While it was reported that Victor had died, he was actually kept alive in a freezer at Indian Hill. His body had absorbed the freezing agent he used, so Dr. Strange built him a suit to help keep him cold.

While we don’t know what Dr. Strange has planned for his new friend, we bet his plans are of the nefarious nature.

Gotham airs Mondays at 8 p.m. on FOX.
