Yep, Beth Kane definitely has a lot of unresolved issues.
At the top of the episode, Kate has all but sworn off being Batman.
Its been 10 days since Gotham saw the caped crusader, and Kate simply cant deal with the pressure.

She feels like she gave the city false hope, and now shes backing away from the responsibility.
But, she is still trying to save her sister, or whats left of her.
What kind of deal is that?
Anyways, were introduced to a new character this week, and his name isTommy Elliot.
Kate still doesnt figure it all out when it becomes clear that somebody is going after Batman.
In downtown Gotham, an effigy of Batman is put on display.
Hmmm, if only there was someone that seemed to know about Bruces superhero identity?
Eventually, Kate does start to put the pieces together, suspecting Tommy of stealing the gun.
But she cant understand why hed want to kill his best friend.
Luke urges Kate to don the Batsuit and confront Tommy, but she refuses; shes not ready yet.
While all of Gothams socialites mingle, Alice calls Jacob and threatens him.
She keeps telling him over and over again, but he thinks its all mind games.
Its at the party, after flirting with a bartender while Sophie watches, that Kate confronts Tommy.
She sees the gun and tries to take it from him.
But hes having none of it.
Now, hes getting his revenge.
Hes not mad at Bruce, but he wants to kill Batman.
So, Tommy hacks into the elevators and uses them as hostages to get Batman up on the roof.
She cant be Batman; she has to be better, and she has to be honest with Gotham.
Tommy has the upper hand though.
Hes only stopped when Alice shows up and saves Kate.
Theres still some of Beth in there somewhere, but she refuses to show it to Kate.
For the most part, the Kate/Beth/Alice stuff here is pretty good.
