Synopsis for "Cycle of Life and Death; Chapter Two"
Following the death of Doctor Cruz Ivy remarks upon the transient nature of life and death as she grows her plant-animal hybrid and her colleague is killed.
Inside the Botanical Gardens the scientists are all profiled by the GCPD as potential suspects and Ivy is saved from her unstable alibi by co-worker Winston who fictitiously claims the two of them went to see a film together. However, the whole issue does not sit well with Isley and she swears retribution when her "children" are spawned.
A week after the death Isley and Doctor Bapna are assisting in the creation of a memorial for the late Doctor Cruz but two feral Pit Bull dogs jump out at the duo. After dissuading them Ivy seeks out their negligent owner and kills him.
Soon after Ivy and Victor - the head administrator - have a conversation about the stolen research but Victor changes the conversion to how he has discovered Ivy's secret but will not report her, just maintain a wary eye around her.
Outside the office Doctor Bapna confesses to Ivy that he was not the last person to see Cruz alive as he was auditioning for "Gotham's Got Talent", a reality singing show, which is his true passion. Ivy's motion sensors disturb the conversation by indicating that her plant is preparing to spawn and she leaves to see through the "birth" successfully spawning two human-plant babies.
Inside the office Bapna goes to see Doctor Grimley but instead discovers him laid on the floor, drained like Doctor Cruz had been.
