Following his hypnosis on Barbara Kean during another show at The Sirens, Gordon visits him again where he starts to ask about Alice's condition. Jervis ends up hypnotizing him. Before he can have Gordon jump off the roof of The Sirens, Jervis is attacked by Alice who doesn't want to go with him with the resulting fight snapping Gordon out of his hypnosis. After Jervis escapes, Alice is handcuffed by Gordon. Alice later reveals that Jervis controlled most of Alice when they were kids, and put thoughts in her head that "no brother should have". It's heavily implied that Jervis has sexual feelings for his sister. Later, Tetch hires the wrestlers known as the "Tweedle Brothers" to break Alice out of the GCPD. While Jervis, Dumfree, and Deever made off with Alice, the other two Tweeds were killed and the youngest of them was placed in police custody. Jervis then dressed Alice in the Alice costume from "Alice in Wonderland" and tries to have a tea party with her and the two remaining Tweedle Brothers, telling Alice that she is the only thing in his life keeping him from going mad. Gordon and Harvey arrive and a fight ensues, and when Alice tries to escape, she accidentally falls on a pipe, impairing her. A devastated Tetch flees the scene.
