** In the final shot of the episode, the Joker's hand emerges from the rubble, only it slowly changes color from white to peach and his fingernails lose their black coloring. His maniacal laughter can also be heard, only for it to lower in pitch and become softer.

* DramaticIrony: In the sense that the latter attempted to do so without knowing about the former: Joker's decision to [[BroughtDownToNormal "erase [Harley] from existence"]] cuts even deeper when you remember that this is ''in addition'' to Harley having [[Recap/HarleyQuinn2019S1E5BeingHarleyQuinn previously rewriting her (original) origin]].
