Colin Farrell - Oz Cobb
Colin Farrell returns as Oz Cobb in The Penguin Episode 4.

The episode revealed that Oz betrayed Sofia in the past after telling her father, Carmine, about her meeting with a reporter for the Gotham Gazette.
This betrayal triggered a chain of events that led to Sofia's haunting past in Arkham.
Farrell previously appeared as John Sugar in Sugar, Detective Ray Velcoro in True Detective, and Jerry in Fright Night.

Cristin Milioti - Sofia Falcone
Cristin Milioti returns with another memorable performance as Sofia Falcone.
The Penguin Episode 4 reveals why Sofia Falcone was in Arkham, unveiling that it was her father who framed her for the murder of a Gotham Gazette reporter and six other women (a crime that she clearly did not commit).
Aside from Carmine, other members of the family wrote letters to the judge about her mental illness which ultimately required her to be placed in Arkham for six months.
"Cent'anni" also reveals Sofia's hellish time inside Arkham, which includes fellow inmates torturing her and the doctors forcing her to undergo electric shock therapy.
As the episode concludes, Sofia fully embraces her dark turn after murdering most of the family via carbon monoxide poisoning, sparing Gia and Johnny Viti.
Milioti's most recognizable role is playing Tracy McConnell (aka the mother) in the comedy series, How I Met Your Mother.
The actress also starred in The Wolf of Wall Street, Fargo, and Palm Springs.
