Ryan approaches the house and the candy lady comes out. Ryan confronts her but the woman has gang members waiting and they taze Ryan so the woman can hit her with knock-out spray. They take her inside.

Luke tells Sophie that it's impossible to track down Coryana. On his screen, he informs Sophie that he's found an address but they shouldn't tell Alice. He and Sophie head out, leaving Alice watching TV and eating a baguette.

Ryan wakes up in the woman's attic room. The jelly bean jar is empty. She passes out again and remembers Angelique helping her escape. Ryan jumped in front to block another knock-out spray shot and Angelique had to get her to wake up so they could get away. The memory helps Ryan wake up. She gets the candy jar down and breaks it to cut her bonds. The woman comes up with a knife to check on her and Ryan takes her out.

Batwoman Season 2 Episode 4 Quotes

Luke: You're not actually going to run him over, right?
Batwoman: And ruin my new paint job?

It seems that the gang known as the False Face Society is showing their entrepreneurial side by making and distributing Snake Bite, known for its dual-pronged injector needles which are said to give a double-whammy dose of fantasy and fright. So more fang for your buck. This trippy two-for-one is part psychedelic mushroom oil, part concentrated fear toxin.
