In "Gotham Girl, Interrupted Part 2," Claire—now operating as Gotham Girl—grapples with a chilling mystery when she discovers her friend dead, the victim of what looks like suicide. The deceased had been the anonymous source behind the viral Gotham Girl website, and as Claire digs into the truth, she becomes the target of a dangerous retaliation from those exposed by the site’s revelations.
In "Gotham Girl, Interrupted Finale," Jo, still reeling from the death of her friend Claire, confronts Dr. Meridan with fury—only to be stopped by Huntress, who pulls her back from a deadly path.
