Jim Gordon likely wishes he'd never been invited to this tea party in a new promo for Monday's episode of "Gotham."

In the tense teaser for "Follow the White Rabbit," we see Dumfree Tweed and Deever Tweed abduct Valerie Vale at gunpoint, presumably to attend the Mad Hatter's "party" alongside Lee Thompkins. Judging from Jervis Tetsch's greeting -- "Welcome to our tea party, James; we've been expecting you" -- the table has been set to force Gordon to make an impossible choice.

More interesting, perhaps, is the Mad Hatter's taunt, "Deep down, you always knew the truth: You're a villain!" It undoubtedly plays into one of the major themes of "Gotham's" third-season storyline, "Mad City": the "long, long" fall of Jim Gordon.

Mad Hatter sets his eyes on his next victims, forcing Jim Gordon to make some tough decisions. Meanwhile, Penguin and Nygma’s relationship evolves, and a familiar face comes back into Nygma’s life in the all-new “Mad City: Follow the White Rabbit” episode of "Gotham."

Airing Mondays at 8 p.m. ET/PT on Fox, "Gotham" stars David Mazouz as Ben McKenzie as Jim Gordon, Donal Logue as Harvey Bullock, Sean Pertwee as Alfred Pennyworth, Robin Lord Taylor as Oswald Cobblepot, Cory Michael Smith as Edward Nygma, David Mazouz as Bruce Wayne, Camren Bicondova as Selina Kyle, Jada Pinkett Smith as Fish Mooney, Morena Baccarin as Leslie Thompkins, Jamie Chung as Valerie Vale and Benedict Samuel as the Mad Hatter.
