Harley reunites the crew to rescue Ivy.
Tropes:
- Actor Allusion: Sy's car gets towed away because he parked in the handicap spot.
- Anguished Declaration of Love: Confused and heartbroken upon finding out she’s Ivy’s greatest fear, Harley’s desperate endeavours to know why lead to this trope.Harley: Listen, Ive, I can’t live with not knowing why I’m some bad guy in your brain settin’ fire to things. I love you.
- Body Horror: Sy is able to rather horrifically change himself into a sedan covered in weapons.
- Brick Joke: While Harley is trying to get her gang back together, Dr. Psycho and King Shark are dealing with two people having an affair (Psycho reading the fortune/mind of the man cheating on his wife, Shark trying to get into the man's laptop on behalf of his girlfriend). At the end of the episode, the two are at a park, where the man has left his wife... and then the girlfriend gets eaten by a monster tree.
- Call-Back:
- In order to save Ivy from Scarecrow's fear toxin, Psycho transports everyone inside her mind like they did with Harley back in "Being Harley Quinn".
- At the end of "So You Need a Crew?", Harley got the city to name a highway after her by threatening them with a nuclear bomb. We see the highway again and she made drastic changes to it.
- Cliffhanger: The episode ends with Scarecrow's chemicals making the trees come to life and killing everyone in sight.
- Comically Missing the Point: Upon returning from Ivy's mind and seeing the many guards who were clearly slaughtered by Sy, Clayface assumes the guards all committed suicide.
- Dude, Not Funny!: The crew give an unamused reaction to Clayface making a pun about someone having "poisoned" Ivy... while she is busy screaming in terror at the top of her lungs right in front of them.
- How Did You Know? I Didn't: Dr. Psycho telekinetically throws Clayface into a giant wood chipper in Ivy's mind, which destroys the wood chipper without killing Clayface. Clayface compliments Psycho for thinking of this while knowing it wouldn't harm Clayface, but Psycho's response indicates he had no idea Clayface would be okay.
- Ironic Echo: Back in "A High Bar" Ivy sarcastically called herself "...a weak woman and whatnot." Here, a guard calls her "...a weak, helpless woman," but she's anything but that, as she kills him and several more guards even without any plants.
- It's All My Fault: Harley apologizes and finally admits to Ivy and the rest of the crew that all the bad luck that's been happening them is her own fault because of her selfish attempts to join the Legion of Doom and letting the Joker get to her.
- Mook Chivalry: Defied. The guards at the facility don't follow this mindset, instantly shooting a guy dead just for approaching the main gate. Harley even complains to this effect, having noted that coming one at a time is "standard goon operating procedure."
- Mythology Gag: The old man who nearly gets hit by Sy's truck, resembles actor Alan Napier (Alfred).
- Offscreen Moment of Awesome: While the crew is inside Ivy's mind, Sy slaughters a half-dozen guards using his weaponized wheelchair.
- The One Thing I Don't Hate About You: Ivy agrees that the Legion of Doom are a bunch of pricks, but is glad they're at least recycling.
- Rebuilt Pedestal: Harley fixes her relationship with Ivy and the rest of her crew after realising the Legion of Doom were just using her all along.
- The Reveal: Scarecrow kidnapped Ivy so he could extract her pheromones and use them to enhance his fear toxin.
- Shooting Superman: Subverted. Ivy points out to Scarecrow that her immunity to poisons of all kinds will render his fear toxin useless, but he explains that he's used her DNA to create an enhanced version that does affect her.
- Shout-Out:
- Harley and crew doing a dramatic power walk with theme music, only for all of them to trip and fall on each other, and all done in slow-motion, is like one of the "outtake" scenes from Monsters, Inc..
- When Harley's hair nearly gets chopped while in Ivy's mind, she complains against becoming Felicity Season 2.
- Clayface refers to The Empire Strikes Back when the Grim Reaper in Ivy's mind is revealed to be Harley.
- Sy's ability to turn to a car was inspired by a certain toyline.
- May also be a reference to Turbo Teen. A teen that can turn into a car due to an accident with a secret government experiment.
- Take That!:
- After praising the Second Amendment for allowing her to have a gun, Ivy follows it up by mentioning as an aside that she is still in favor of background checks and common-sense gun laws.
- Scarecrow regards insurance companies as the real villains as he attacks Ivy. She agrees.
- Clayface points out that even Felicity herself couldn't pull off her extreme haircut in Season 2.
- There Is No Kill Like Overkill: Half a dozen guards empty machine guns into an old man who approaches the facility they're guarding to ask for directions.
- Vomit Indiscretion Shot: We get to see Clayface and Dr. Psycho puke on-screen.
- Waterfall Puke: Clayface does this in response to Sy's manic driving and King Shark's attempts to psyche himself into not vomiting. The mess is then reabsorbed back into him, to the disgust of King Shark and Harley.King Shark: I do not know how you live with yourself.
- When Trees Attack: Scarecrow's fear toxin combined with Ivy's pheromones creates living, murderous trees when it's introduced into Gotham's water supply.
- Wrong Genre Savvy: Harley's assumption about Mook Chivalry would work if this was normal superhero cartoon. But they're in the sitcom-like Deconstructive Parody of one.
