Harley (to Batgirl): "I'm quitting the Bat Family."
Well, to be fair, there's very little of it to quit. It's just Harley and Batgirl and now, even the latter might be dead. Yup, the show decided to give us another version of The Killing Joke. Oh great.
Joker seems to be back to his villainous self by shooting Batgirl and thanks to Doctor Psycho, we also learned that Harley accidentally killed Nightwing in her sleepwalking state. Really don't like that reveal.
As for the main plot points of the episode, Harley learned that not only was she responsible for Nightwing's death but also that she has a clone. A clone that's also five percent potato (blame Jim Gordon) and a bit overzealous with wanting to do the right thing.
At first Harley had some fun with her clone but then the clone got annoying and also determined to send Harley to prison. Needless to say we got that classic scene that you always get and then splattered mash on the road. Yup, they didn't waste time prolonging that story.
Last but not least there was Ivy's attempts to get the sun back. Without her powers she had to get board votes to oust Lex from power and even the accidental death of Clegg got her victory. Except it wasn't much of one as Lex just hopped on his phallic rocket and headed to the moon.
- We got a lot of The Flash, who was portrayed as a practical Joker and a virgin. I did not expect that reference from the recent movie.
- Keeping with HBO references this season, Succession got a nice shout out as well.
- Clayface got Bane to headbutt Ivy at the golf course.
- Chronology: From where the previous episode left off.
Potato Based Cloning Incident was a bit of a mixed bag compared to previous episodes. Hopefully the finale will end the season on a high note.
Rating:7 out of 10
