* PollutedWasteland: The former housing development of Paradise Meadows, which has been condemned after a toxic waste spill, and where Ivy -- who is immune to poisoning -- has set up home. She dubs it "Toxic Acres". Judging from the analysis of the sample Batman takes from her tire track, its list of contaminants includes cobalt and ''plutonium''.

* EvenEvilHasStandards: Harley begs Joker not to use his laughing gas on Ivy and is horrified when it looks like Ivy's succumbing. Thankfully, Ivy was safe because of her immunity to all poison.

to:

* EvenEvilHasStandards: EvenEvilHasStandards:
** Ivy genuinely doesn't understand why Harley allows the Joker to walk all over her, and is overall disgusted by how he treats her.

* VillainHasAPoint: Harley and Ivy aren't entirely wrong to chafe at obnoxious louts rudely cat-calling them, sexist institutions denying them equal access and opportunity, and men generally patronising and belittling them. Their responses to this, however, cannot in any way be considered socially constructive or helpful.

to:

* VillainHasAPoint: VillainHasAPoint:
** Ivy is completely correct in saying Harley's relationship with the Joker is bad news and she needs to stand up against him.

Removed per thread.


* AnAesop: Victims of abuse are better than they think they are, they don't deserve mistreatment, and it's often very difficult to get them away from their abuser.

* FreezeFrameBonus: On Ivy's fridge door, alongside news reports of her and Harley's crimes, there's a crude stick-figure drawing of an antropomorphic cat with the legend "Catwoman HA HA." In the same camera pan, we see that one of the notices has an announcement of a $10,000 reward for the pair's capture. She crossed out the "$10,000" and wrote "zillions."

* {{Unusually Uninteresting Sight}}: Combined with {{SkewedPriorities}}. When Ivy barges into the men's club, the club members are more worried about a woman being in their establishment rather than the murderous eco-terrorist with plant powers that can kill them with a kiss.

* YouGoGirl: A majority of the episode is focused on Harley and especially Ivy attempting to prove how capable women are at overcoming men. Batman is mostly unimpressed when she gloats about it.

* RecycledSoundtrack: A few bars of [[https://m.youtube.com/shorts/sNmcd9uy6UE "A Little Planet Muzak"]] from [[Recap/BatmanTheAnimatedSeriesE5PrettyPoison "Pretty Poison"]] can be heard playing on a loop via radio while Harley and Ivy go about setting the table for dinner, minus "The Carnivorous Plant" part so as not to disrupt the happy domestic life vibes this scene starts out with. You can tell it isn't simply the episode's soundtrack because Quinn hums along.
