Harley and Ivy is the fifty-sixth episode of Batman: The Animated Series and the fist team-up of Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy.
Plot
After The Joker gets frustrated with Harley Quinn, and kicked her out, she proceeded to steal a Harlequin Diamond in the Gotham Museum to prove her worth to the Joker. The same day in the museum, Poison Ivy was robbing it of plant toxins. The two became quick friends and Ivy took her back to her lair in a toxic waste dump and nursed her back to health. This included injecting Harley with a serum that Ivy had developed, which has given Harley an immunity to all toxins and poisons, as well as boosting her immune system. Harley and Ivy teamed up and conducted a number of successful capers, which came to an end after Harley and the Joker made up. Ivy was not happy with Harley's lingering feelings for the Joker, whom she never liked. However, Ivy remains her usual first port of call when she and The Joker are going through a rough patch. Ivy adopted the role of older sister and teller of harsh truths to Quinn about her helpless infatuation with The Joker. When Ivy demanded during "Harley and Ivy" (their meeting BTAS episode) that Quinn stand up for herself, Quinn says "I'm nobody's doormat — am I?" to which Ivy replies, "If you had a middle name, it would be 'Welcome'".
Cast
Trivia
- While stealing the diamond, Harley uses the yiddish word "plotz", which means "to explode", saying "Mr. J will plotz when I give him this"
- Looking closely at the fridge in Harley and Ivy's house, one can see a crudely-drawn picture of Catwoman captioned "Catwoman haha", courtesy of presumably Harley Quinn.
- Though many fans compared the episode to the similarly premised film Thelma and Louise, Paul Dini actually saw the film after he wrote the episode.
- Although its offscreen, but Ivy's serum would have a side effect that would heighten Harley's strength, speed, and stamina just as what happened to her counterpart on the mainstream continuity since Batman: Harley Quinn. Seen in later episodes that Harley holding a huge mallet at ease despite of her size, and later survive the fall on Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker.
