“Harley Quinn Highway” is episode eleven of season one of Harley Quinn.
Ivy is being wheeled into a lab by two goons. In the previous episode, “Bensonhurst”, Scarecrow was revealed to be the one who had captured her. Though Ivy is groggy, she swipes an ID card and kills both of the goons. Two more enters and one says that without plants Ivy is just a weak and helpless woman. Ivy says she still has hands and the Second Amendment, grabbing a gun from one of the dead guards and shooting the two new ones. Though she still supports background checks and common-sense gun laws. However, she soon runs out of bullets and is captured again.
Outside, Harley and Frank the Plant are surveying Planetwide Pavers. Frank says there are a lot of men with guns and she is just one petite young woman with a bat. They won’t come at her one at a time. Harley says that’s standard goon operating procedure. Then a car arrives outside the plant and an old man gets out, saying he’s lost. Every goon opens fire at him at the same time. Harley comments that they’re doing it the all at once way now. She knows what she needs. More crew.
Clayface is working for the Riddler, who is trying to announce a riddle about a bomb he’s hidden in a bar in Gotham. Clayface is being annoying, then starts giving advice on how to perform. The Riddler has had enough and says exactly where the bomb is. When Harley asks if she can borrow Clayface, the Riddler says she can keep him. Harley apologises to Clayface, and Psycho and King Shark. She didn’t treat them like family. Well, she did, but how her family treats people.
At the mall, Harley says that she forgot the only reason she made it into the Legion of Doom was because of them. They don’t want to help. Frank the Plant says Ivy has been kidnapped. Now they do. Frank suggests Harley lead with that next time. They will help Harley. Yay. For Ivy. Still yay. Then leave. Okay, not as much yay.
Sy also wants to help. He says he’s an excellent driver. That appears to be debateable. The disguise is as a pretzel-wrapped wiener food truck. One guard decides they are genuine. Well, they do have the food. Inside, they steal a bunch of goon suits. Given that they are all rather different shapes and sizes, they are not exactly blending. Then tumble into a pile.
Ivy is being harvested by Scarecrow when she comes around. He’s making a lot of something. She’s going to give birth to the destruction of Gotham. Scarecrow has also got some fear toxin – vegan blend – for Ivy. Poison Ivy tells Scarecrow that poisons don’t work on her. That’s kind of her thing. That’s why Scarecrow has made a special blend, just for Ivy.
The others are in and hear Ivy screaming. They find her linked up to the fear toxin. Clayface says they have poisoned Ivy. To crickets. According to Psycho, they need to go inside Ivy’s brain, just like they did Harley’s in “Being Harley Quinn”. Harley knocks Ivy out so they can get into her brain. Apparently, that wasn’t necessary. Harley simply happened to be unconscious when they went into hers. All she’s done is punch a friend in the face.
The title is a reference to the highway that Harley got Gotham to name after her in “So, You Need a Crew?” Bit of a cliff-hanger leading into “Devil’s Snare”.
