My Review of Harley Quinn's 4x03: "Icons Only"

Harley (to Ivy): "I've decided to move in with the Batfamily."

Well, I guess they're really going all in with Harley commiting to the Batfamily this season. Though this episode also had Harley actively avoiding Batgirl's phone call until that final revelation.  Again, that will probably cause some problems later on.

This episode certainly showed Harley to be an outcast in the villain community to the point everyone who wasn't Ivy was openly hostile to Harley. Then again this episode was mostly in Vegas at a villain holiday and Harley no longer applied as one in that regard.

Harley's solution to that issue was to steal a pink wig, take on the alias of Hargret and to work with Ivy to steal some tickets for Clayface's residency gig. Oh and a bit of fooling around with each other in the elevator while dressed as bellhops. 

Speaking of Clayface, we saw Ivy ignoring him during the premiere episode, only for it to have consequences here. The two of them really came to blows and Harley wasn't able to resolve their conflict. I'm not sure I like this side of Clayface to be honest.

Of course what did stop Ivy and Clayface from turning Las Vegas into a bloodbath was Tabitha giving birth to the nine baby sharks. Tabitha then took one of them and left the remaining eight for King Shark to look after. I guess that's Tabitha gone for a bit. 

Harley and Ivy's mutual affection for making fun of the baby sharks did get them to end the episode on a funny note. Maybe a little bit mean, but at least they did reconnect after struggling a bit in this episode. Now let's hope they can reconnect with Clayface.

- Snowflame the coke snorting baddie got tied to the bed with a chocolate grenade in his mouth.

- We got to see Starro and Ragdoll in this episode to name a few characters. Not to mention a cheeky reference to And Just Like That.

- Tabitha really did want to snog a stage magician and did. King Shark cut off a mermaid's tail to make that labour inducing gumbo.

- Chronology: Not long from where the previous episode left off.

Icons Only had fun with the Vegas setting but I was kind of disappointed with the way Clayface and Ivy turned on each other. Everything else was pretty fun though.
