Floronic Man: "Goodbye my sweet Pamela."
After last week's episode, I had slightly hoped that the creation of Floronic Man would be something of a multi episode problem for both Poison Ivy and Harley Quinn. Obviously this show had other ideas.
The episode started with Harley finding out about Ivy killing Jason Woodrue and making it a bit too much about herself. It even got to the point where Harley even interrupted one of Ivy's lectures, which was somewhat annoying.
Of course that was the least of Ivy's problems as once she was in the Green, she had to contend with her toxic ex yet again. Jason Woodrue was now Floronic Man and he was very much in the mood to kill Ivy. Had it not been for the intervention of both Harley and Frank, he definitely would've succeeded on that front.
Harley destroying Jason's body in the real world stopped him from killing both Ivy and Frank. Add a nice making up scene between Harley and Ivy and then the two of them ended up in Brainiac's ship because they're a bigger threat to him than a certain Kryptonian.
As for the B-plot, it was fun enough. Clayface took a bad review so badly that he kidnapped Perry White, impersonated him at the Daily Planet and hired Bane to be a theatre reviewer for the paper. He also unwisely ignored Lois's growing concern about Brainiac's ship in the sky.
- Clayface really did get the struggling actor's apartment in Metropolis, huh? His depiction of Pearl Harbour was problematic.
- Harley walked into two different rooms with students having sex with each other before finding Woodrue.
- Frank eats Ivy's lipstick, even the discontinued one.
- Chronology: A few days after the previous episode.
For the most part, I did enjoy Floronic Man as an episode but I was a bit disappointed with how quickly he was taken out as a villain. On the other hand, it's nice that the Brainiac plot has taken off.
