The most recent episode circles around Alfie saving his future master's father and mother as they are in grave danger and finding solace in his romantic relationship with Sandra. However, after the episode aired fans could barely keep calm and went on a Twitter rant.

A fan wrote, "I’m watching this show PENNYWORTH This mf Alfred was a bad mf back before he was Protecting Wayne Manor #DCUniverse #Pennyworth #OriginsOfBatmansButler," while another added, "#pennyworth should get more love. Seriously."

A fan commented, "Watching @DCpennyworth & I keep thinking #JackBannon is the perfect 30something age they say the next #JamesBond should be. From Batman's butler to @007 #Pennyworth."

A fan mentioned, "#Pennyworth is proof that shows born from intellectual property gambits can still be quality programming. It’s an unexpected kind of blueprint for making a show with some source material DNA that doesn’t feel like a corporate piece of dot-connecting."

"Loved this ep. I'll miss when the storyline w/ Patrick (Richard Dillane) ends. It's so believable that he would have kids who turned out like Thomas & Patricia. Hope we see Mary's friend again. Always nice to see Paul Kaye pop up. #PennyworthOnMax #PennyworthHBOMax #Pennyworth," said an excited fan.
