The Penguin Episode 7 Could Showcase the Series’ Most Shocking Death

Episode 7 of The Penguin promises to be a significant turning point in Oz Cobb’s turbulent journey, as hinted by the recently released trailer. It appears that Oz may soon face the heart-wrenching loss of someone important to him.

Throughout the series, Oz has found himself continually skirting disaster, a pattern that has become his unsettling norm. Though he was responsible for the death of Alberto Falcone, he cleverly shifted the blame onto Sofia Falcone’s trusted aide. This led to a reluctant partnership with Sofia, which eventually unraveled after Salvatore Maroni’s wife exposed his treachery, yet somehow, Oz managed to evade severe repercussions.

Following his betrayal of Sofia, the two have drifted apart. While she has sought to expand the Gigante empire and form a new alliance with Salvatore, Oz has taken refuge in the underground railway tunnels. This location not only serves as a hiding spot but also plays a strategic role in his growing Bliss operation — a clever precursor to the anticipated The Batman 2.

In the preceding episode, Oz ingeniously united several crime factions, including the Triads, the Sullivans, and the Odessa mob. However, ominous developments loom on the horizon that could irrevocably alter Oz’s path.

As Episode 6 concluded, Victor and Francis shared a moment of joy in their Crown Point apartment, celebrating the restoration of power. However, their happiness was undermined by the ominous presence of Sofia, lurking in the hallway with a crowbar.

The trailer for Episode 7 hints at escalating tensions as Sofia ominously declares, “I want Oz to feel pain… real pain.” She is seen approaching Dr. Julian Rush, who may harbor his own dark secrets as a covert Batman antagonist, suggesting a potential descent into psychological and possibly physical torment for Oz.

As the narrative thickens, viewers are left to speculate who may bear the brunt of Sofia’s wrath. Oz’s mother emerges as a likely target; she is positioned as an easy victim amid Sofia and Salvatore’s increasing frustration over Oz’s manipulative actions. Given her vulnerability, she could become a significant pawn in Sofia’s quest for revenge.

Victor, Oz’s loyal confidant, is also in a precarious situation. His awareness of the Bliss operation’s secrets places him in jeopardy. Notably absent from the Episode 7 trailer, Victor may indeed find himself facing dire consequences.

Intriguingly, there’s a theory positing that Victor Aguilar bears similarities to Victor Zsasz from the Batman universe. If Sofia chooses to torture Victor, it could lead him to a breaking point, spiraling into insanity akin to Zsasz, who believes that life is ultimately devoid of meaning. Given Victor’s unstable mental state following his violent past actions, particularly the murder of Squid, the upcoming episode could plunge him further into chaos.
