The latest generation of the Royal Flush gang, a dynasty of wealthy thieves using a card-playing motif, returns to Gotham. Meanwhile, Terry's commitments as Batman strain Terry's relationship with Dana to the breaking point -- so much so, he falls right into the arms of a new girl in town, Melanie Walker, who has her own problems with an overbearing father.

Melanie never learns about Terry's double life, but he learns about hers -- as Ten, the youngest, reluctant Royal Flush gang member. Olivia D'Abo, George Lazenby, Amanda Donohoe, and Scott Cleverdon make their first appearances as Ten, King, Queen, and Jack.

Tony is shocked to learn that his old friend, Big Pussy, may be a rat. He sends Paulie to investigate when Pussy acts suspiciously.
Junior reaches the breaking point when he learns that Tony has been working behind his back. He and Livia begin conspiring to take action against Tony.
