The Penguin Episode 3 Ending Explained: Is Sofia Falcone Dead?

The Penguin Episode 3 has finally arrived, and the wait was worth it. The much-awaited episode was full of surprises and betrayals. Some of you might be perplexed by the cliffhanger ending. Here, we have explained the ending of The Penguin episode 3, highlighting the significant concluding events to make things easier.

Oz Leaves Sofia to Die at the Hands of Maronis

The second episode of The Penguin sees Sofia and Oz join hands for a new drug shipment, so Episode 3 of the series witnessed them going toe-to-toe at every step. However, Sofia still can’t trust the man, who was one of the biggest reasons behind the days she spent in Arkham. Despite the trust issues, she decides to take him as a partner in the drug consignment, and Cobb assures her to gain her trust as things progress. However, those who know Oswald Cobblepot know that he isn’t someone who can be blindly trusted, as he can betray anyone for his own good.

Victor’s family falls prey to the Riddler’s bombing floods, and we do not see much of them. Following the deaths of his loved ones, Victor decides to leave Oz and head towards California with his girlfriend Graciela to start a new life. However, he can’t figure out how to discuss it with his boss, who is busy figuring things out with Sofia. Failing to deal with his emotions at the club, he finally speaks to Oz, and after having an intense conversation, he leaves for the bus station where his girlfriend has been waiting for him. But after reaching there, he can’t step out of the car as his dreams and the life he received after joining hands with the Penguin seem more worthy to him.

On the other side, Salvatore Maroni’s wife arrives with her men and takes Oz and Sofia to the gunpoint. Oz promised her husband that he would help Maronis take the new drug assignment, and now that he has betrayed him, he took enmity with the influential family. However, before Oz and Sofia could get shot, Victor arrives, and in an instant, one of Maronis’ men is mowed by his car. After that, Oz sits on the passenger seat and asks the boy to flee from the location. When Vic asks about Sofia, Oz tells him to leave her and drive fast.

Is Sofia Falcone Dead in The Penguin Episode 3?

Oz escapes with Vic, leaving Sofia to die at the hands of Maronis. However, nothing has yet been made clear about what happens to Sofia. We indeed hear some gunshots, but we can’t say that the Hangman dies as everything takes place behind the camera. The preview of The Penguin Episode 4 also reveals nothing; the upcoming episode will show Sofia’s past and her days in Arkham. So, let’s wait and see if Sofia is dead or if the Maronis have taken her hostage for the time being.
