I'm surprised to her you say that Doc as I find the writing patchy at best.
I'm only up to epi 2 of season 2 but already I'm annoyed at the laziness.
Every other episode Alice makes a surprise appearance somewhere she isn't supposed to be to deliver a plot exposition of what she is up to, a threat and a bitter rant about how her family has treated her, ya know just to show how mad and pissed she is.
It's happened in the first two episodes of season 2 already and I'm gonna go for a plot prediction and say they will carry on doing it. How do I know this? Well they have done it 10 or 12 times at least so far, probably more.
Shock! Alice is in Daddy Kanes apartment, cue surprise and "How did you get in here?/ What are you doing here? ' whereupon she delivers hints of what she is up to, threats against him and reminds him of what she's been treated like in the past with a bit of screaming anger.
Shock! Alice is in Kate Kanes apartment, cue surprise and "How did you get in here?/ What are you doing here? ' whereupon she delivers hints of what she is up to, threats against her and reminds her of what she's been treated like in the past with a bit of screaming anger.
Shock! Alice is in Wayne Enterprises offices , where she confronts Luke, cue surprise and "How did you get in here?/ What are you doing here? ' whereupon she delivers hints of what she is up to, threats against him and reminds him of what she's been treated like in the past with a bit of screaming anger.

Shock! Alice is in Kates Bar, cue surprise and "How did you get in here?/ What are you doing here? ' whereupon she delivers hints of what she is up to, threats against her and reminds her of what she's been treated like in the past with a bit of screaming anger.
Shock! Alice is in the backseat of someone's car, cue surprise and "How did you get in here?/ What are you doing here? ' whereupon she delivers hints of what she is up to, threats against them and reminds them of what she's been treated like in the past with a bit of screaming anger.
Shock! Alice is in her psychiatrists office, cue surprise and "How did you get in here?/ What are you doing here? ' whereupon she delivers hints of what she is up to, threats against them and reminds them of what she's been treated like in the past with a bit of screaming anger.

Well that doesn't matter as they can just keep on doing it ad infinitum and apparently intend to.
I could go on but unlike the writers I know when to stop.
It's an incredibly lazy way to explain the plot and oh so fucking tedious. Surprise reveals aren't a surprise when you've used the device 14 times before.
In season two we had the blonde Kane operatives car used and Kates sisters clinic and I've only seen two episodes. I'm gonna go for a surprise appearance in Wayne Enterprises offices next.
Some bits are interesting - the Sofiyah concept was good but it gets diluted by the trite plot explanation.
Why the hell don't they have the good guys piecing together the dastardly plan a bit more often. Instead of this oh-so-tired method.
Throw in a few more general sudden meetings on the street or in corridors or that don't quite follow the predictable outline above but only with the slightest variation and it's not far off every episode.
