Ivy (to Harley): "Lena did it. The bitch actually bottled the city."
Yup, that's exactly what Lena Luthor did and can I just say that while appreciated the Supergirl show having a more conflicted but ultimately good version of the character, I love that this version embraced their villain. This version really isn't that different to her brother.
In fact, Lex was the reason why Lena descended the path she's currently on and when she wasn't turning Harley and Ivy against each other, Lena had the foresight to try and kill them. Of course she didn't succeed but she got close enough.
With Harley, this meant her own father was willing to betray her and have her cut up for parts. It didn't end well for Nick and it also meant that Harley's mother somewhat tagged along at the end of the episode, being somewhat helpful in getting Lex from prison.
As for Ivy, well she did have the bight idea to access a transporter to face Lena but between a heartbroken Bruce, a homicidal security bot named G.A.I.L. and the transporter destroyed, it didn't pan out. Lena won that round but Harley and Ivy did make up by the end of the episode.
Now, we've got Metropolis bottled up, two episodes left, Harley and Ivy with the former's mother and Lex. Will they be enough to stop Lena and her plan? They're going to have to be, aren't they?
- Using thumbs was Brainiac's way of expressing the middle finger. He didn't like it when Lena did it to him.
- Bruce and Lena 4ever was certainly a tacky password but fitting for this version of Bruce.
- Apart from one brief scene with Frankette, Harley and Ivy's other allies were nowhere to be seen here.
- Chronology: Took place from where the previous episode left off.
Family Feud might have had Harley and Ivy at odds for most of the episode but they did come back together at the very end. I did like their separate attempts of staying alive from Lena's attempts to have them killed.
Rating: 7 out of 10
