S2E12 0:01:52 Alright, right at the beginning of the episode all of the animals in Gotham go absolutely nutty. I spent an hour and a half doing sort-of math with NYC's pet population and NYC's 2030 projected population graphs. It was long as hell and I don't want to take up room on this blog posting it. If you are Facebook friends, you can see the whole post there.
Also, this episode requires a lot of guess work even outside of the animal thing at the beginning. Right after this, Shriek causes city wide chaos when he fucks with sound waves so that people cannot communicate properly. We are shown several scenes of chaos and destruction. So unlike normal episodes, I will not be giving the minute to minute rundown. Instead, I am just going to round up from the number I estimated to die in animal attacks (1396) to an even 1500 (including Shriek himself it seems), toss in some screen grabs and call it a day.

S2E13 0:01:05 Interesting note. Terry squares off against three practice robots in the Batcave. The three bots are designed after classic Batman villains, giving us a quick cameo from The Riddler, Two-Face and Killer Croc.

S2E14 0:04:00 Interesting note. A nice little reference to Alfred (first since S2E5). Barbara Gordon is over for tea and remarks how good it is, Bruce replies, "I learned from the best. Now if only I could learn how he made those little tea cakes."
S2E14 0:04:10 Interesting note. Both Barbara and Bruce are aware of Terry's record. It turns out that he spent four months in Juvenile Hall.
S2E14 0:05:20 My favorite villain, Mad Stan, has returned. This time he actually does some damage. He detonates several explosions at a benefit dinner for the District Attorney. I count four right in the path of the explosions.

S2E15: 0:01:30 Curaré is back! But she seems to have calmed down and switched to much stealthier means...
S2E15 0:04:30 She didn't murder the body guard, wiped the Master Assassin's mind instead of killing him and she even managed not to blow up the plane. At least Shriek had an insane return. I am disappointed, Curaré.

Another four episodes turned in and holy shit, Shriek! Now that is what I call a come back! With both Inque and Curaré having less than stellar returns (hell even Mad Stan got some work done with his return), its nice to see a villain learn how to top himself.
Most dangerous criminal so far: Someone has finally topped Curaré and that man is, obviously, Shriek. Shriek started out simply being a real big douche bag and killing a bunch of homeless people in the old Gotham Police Station. However, now he has upgraded to unleashing a city's animal population against the human population, causing mass hysteria and holding the whole fucking city hostage. Way to up the villain factor, buddy.
Saddest death in part seven: All those old people that were probably chewed to death by Patches the poodle and what not in their sleep. Man, you are still a really big asshole, Shriek.
