My Review of Harley Quinn's 2x09: "Bachelorette"

Written by Sarah Peters

Directed by Christina Sotta

Ivy: "You know me better than anyone."

Harley: "You're easy to celebrate."

Ivy: "You're fun to celebrate with."

Oh this show, lol. You just know we're going to get a romance with Harley and Ivy but at the same time, the writers are going to probably wait until the finale to properly go there. This episode did take a step forward but also one backwards. I guess what happens on Themyscira stays on Themyscira for now at least.

Bringing Ivy's bachelorette party to Paradise Island, which in Wonder Woman's absence has now become a holiday resort courtesy of Eris and Lex Luthor having Hippolyta under mind control did raise some eyebrows until it was later revealed that Harley also wanted to liberate the island to Ivy's approval.

I have to admit, I had genuinely forgotten about Lex but Eris was a fun baddie and it was nice to see the motley crew of Harley, Ivy, Catwoman (still not sold on this take), Nora Fries and a random named Jennifer get drunk and take out Eris with aplomb. Of course between partying and liberating, Harley and Ivy also did the deed a few times here.

Of course Ivy did reject Harley and chose to continue on her quest to marry Kite Man, whose own bachelor party was a more quiet affair. I did get the impression during his conversation with King Shark that he too was questioning if Ivy wanted to marry him.

Speaking of King Shark, his story had literal rip off moments from both The Little Mermaid and Aquaman as he got summoned back home to an arranged marriage with Tabitha, who he clearly doesn't love. As a B plot though, it was enjoyable enough and came with a musical number about pooping in the sea.

- Even out of her trance, Hippolyta didn't seem that broken up about her daughter being gone.

- Kite Man, Clayface and Frank were good enough not to finish the puzzle until King Shark returned.

- Ares briefly popped up as a male stripper in this episode.

- Chronology: Not long since the last episode.

Bachelorette had fun with it's main plot, utilised it's moan plot well but I think I would've added Batgirl to the actual lineup and another DC female character instead of Nora and Jennifer. Other than that, this was plenty of fun.
