## All Season 1 Episodes

"**Finding Mr. Right**" is the fourth episode of the first season of *Harley Quinn*. It is the fourth episode of the series overall. It was released on December 20, 2019 on DC Universe.

## Synopsis

In search of a nemesis, Harley goes after Batman, but ends up with an adolescent Robin, making her the laughing stock of the criminal underworld.

## Plot

Harley and her crew have been successfully robbing for some time, but never show up on the news because everyone is focusing on the sensational antics of Joker and Batman. Poison Ivy notes that they *should* keep a low profile if they don't want to go to jail, but Harley wants the media (and by extension, the Legion of Doom), to notice her, and decides she needs an A-list nemesis. At the same time, Ivy complains that Harley's crew is messing up her apartment, though her landlord, Sy Borgman, arrives and re-asserts the apartment is his and that he has rules.

The crew set up an online profile to find a nemesis, but have no luck, so Clayface enlists help of friendly but physically-daunting computer whiz King Shark. He only drums up a minor nemesis, noting that the website won't have any big name villains.

Harley steals the Batmobile and rampages through Gotham in an attempt to draw Batman's attention. However, Batman doesn't even bother stopping her himself, sending Robin instead, whom Harley quickly defeats. Later on, Robin lies and publicly claims to now be Harley's nemesis, which the media eats up.

*❝ Heeey, Superman! Come get Lois Laaane before I make HER a deadline! That made...that made sense, right? ❞*
— Harley tries to taunt Superman

Harley's fury is compounded by the famous reporter Lois Lane calling her a setback to the "evil women's movement." In response, Harley kidnaps Lois to get Superman as a nemesis, plus to coerce Lois into retracting the article. However, Lois is completely unfazed by her, and although Superman arrives, he leaves Robin to take on Harley. Harley departs with her crew in frustration.

After receiving a taunting card from Joker and the Legion of Doom, a fed up Harley decides to kill Robin, but Ivy talks her out of it, saying that would enshrine her status as Robin's nemesis (with King Shark adding that it would be child murder). Consequently, Harley cooks up a new plan: she captures Robin and suspends him over a fish tank with King Shark lurking below to scare him. Harley triggers Robin into gloating about his lies, at which point she reveals they are on the set of Tawny Young's show, and the media was listening the whole time.

Robin's nose starts to bleed from the humiliation. The blood falls into the water and triggers King Shark into going berserk (he'd previously told Clayface and Psycho he doesn't "do well around blood"), forcing Harley to get the Boy Wonder out of harm's way. King breaks free from his tank, and is only subdued by the timely arrival of Robin's father, Batman. Still live on Tawny's show, Batman fights Harley for endangering his "ward". Elsewhere, Joker sees the footage and is angry that Batman is occupied with Harley instead of his ongoing bank robbery.

Seeing Harley getting beaten up on TV, Ivy arrives to save her, but even with her chlorokinesis, Batman overpowers them both. When the Joker also crashes the show, a four-way brawl ensues until the Joker snatches Robin, forcing Batman to give chase. The whole time, Tawny and her audience revel in the drama till the end. As the talkshow goes to commercial, Ivy drags Harley home before the latter can get into more shenanigans.

Back at Ivy's apartment, Harley is sad that she couldn't procure a nemesis, and Ivy consoles her while the rest of the crew try cleaning the apartment. King Shark reveals that he's joined the crew, only for Sy Borgman to barge in and evict Ivy on the grounds that King Shark is a "pet".

At the Batcave, Batman consoles Robin over not having a nemesis, though swiftly departs when Robin asks about sex.

## Trivia

* Three reporters seen when Harley flips through various news channels at the beginning of the episode are all uncredited despite lines of dialogue.
* Clayface says "Heavens to Murgatroyd" which is Snagglepuss's catchphrase.
* Clayface, as King Shark, saying he is straight from the beaches of Amity is a reference to *Jaws*.
* The Tawny Show is a parody of *The Wendy Williams Show*.
* Batman uses *Shark-Repellent Bat Spray* to knock out King Shark which is a reference to the *Batman* T.V. series from 1966.
* This episode marks the first overt hint at the Harlivy romance (albeit in a humorous fashion); during the 2-on-1 fight against Batman on Tawny's talkshow, Ivy accidentally lands on top of Harley in an intimate position (to which the audience and Tawny react with delight). Harley just smiles sheepishly at Ivy until Ivy gets up and they resume fighting Batman.
* Batman's explanation to Damien about having nemesis is in a manner like giving "the talk" about sex; comparing his finding a nemesis as if it were shameful long time virginity. Even the episode title is a reference for how some abstain until they have the right partner. Oddly enough Batman is highly uncomfortable with the actual talk when Damien asked.
* Sy mistakes the word "xenophobia" with "the bikini broad with the sword as big as she is", a reference to the titular main character of *Xena: Warrior Princess*.
* A small reference to this episode is made in the episode "Ozzie's" of *Helluva Boss* when the character Blitzo whistles the same tune as Poison Ivy did at the beginning of this episode.
