Betrayal
Terry's friend Charlie (aka Big Time) breaks out of prison and robs an armored car. His partner in crime is the Major, someone he met while in prison. Charlie feels alone and has a couple of the Major's flunkies kidnap Terry and bring him to the Major's hideout.
Terry loses his bat suit during the abduction. He escapes from the Major's hideout but Charlie catches up to him. Terry talks to Charlie and convinces him to turn himself in. Charlie agrees but only after the Major has been taken into custody.
The police catch the Major and his henchmen but Charlie goes back on his word. Terry gets his uniform back and takes on Charlie. They fight on a suspension bridge. Charlie ends up falling from the bridge.
Police Commissioner Barbara Gordon makes a brief appearance in this episode. It is her final appearance in this series but she does show up in the Batman Beyond movie. Max and Bruce are also in this episode.
Charlie's only other appearance was in 3.04 (Big Time). Clancy Brown, who is best known in DCAU cartoons for being the voice of Lex Luthor, was the voice of Charlie in this episode. He was voiced by Stephen Baldwin in his previous appearance. Jon Polito was the voice of the Major who looks very much like Polito. I know Polito best from the first season of Homicide: Life on the Streets, Miller's Crossing (1990), and The Crow (1994).
I wouldn't call it great but this is a decent episode. I didn't remember that Charlie made a second appearance. I'm pretty sure that he won't return in any of the remaining episodes from this season.
