5 things about this episode

Warning: this TV program is not suitable for children and in one way or another there is adult contents/flashing effects/other effects/character on fire/vomiting/medical component/transformation/dark content.

Harley Quinn Highway: well in one way or another we have these components going hand-in-hand Character, Comedy, Art and Action; now this is just speculation but I'm going to guess that this section of this episode was Mario Kart inspired as we have Ivy, Quinn and her Crew; inside the newest member of her Crew inside Sy Borgman; which has graphically transformed into a Ford LTD Country Squire [yes the Griswolds family vehicle from the National Lampoon film franchise or just in case it isn't identically the same model it is like this model; but this one in this episode has weapons systems on it he is known as a transchanger - this is one of those occasions where "I would like to just cover my back by saying I am just saying what is in this episode so in short I have nothing to do with this name."

Background on Borgman character development; retired CIA Agent, now Landlord mostly cyborg [which you couldn't have guessed from his last name would suggest there is at least some cyborg component to him,] but he is still in a wheelchair this is a great character development twist and he has a sibling; Sister Mirielle Borgman. I know if you have watched these Episodes in chronological order you will know all of this anyway. But as he has become a member of Quinn's Crew in this Episode I had to quickly cover him, in some way I have covered her other members of her Crew in this First Season so I couldn't leave him out. Let me quickly clarify something as of where we are Ivy is not officially a member of Quinn's Crew.

But back to this episode; we have Ivy, Quinn and her Crew racing after Dr. Jonathan Crane/the Scarecrow and his henchmen/hench-person in their lorries with this very dangerous poison on board [that is all I can say without giving too much of the storyline away.] Now as Borgman's head/face/little bit of neck is literally the hood ornament he gets flies on his face and glasses he spits some of them out of his mouth; good comedy.

Racing time; we get to see from the perspective of behind Borgman's head inside this vehicle; it gives the illusion of a roller coaster ride; imaginative art and then later on there is this weapon drops/rocket launcher which ends up in Dr. Psycho's hands [with this computer game sound effect of when an accessory/power up has been dropped off or picked up and now is under your control simultaneously over this transaction as well; I have only heard this a few times but it does sound like as if it could come from Mario Kart on the Nintendo Wii when you ride over the question-marks and the final moments of something that has been selected or I could be completely wrong but at the very least it sounds like something like this] and a then a moment later Quinn grabs it from him; she/we looks down through the sight/up at this statue of her [gives this dialogue exchange to Ivy,] looks again down this sight/up at this statue and aims and fires at this statute's neck  consequently blocking this lorry's getaway; this is good action.

This episode receives: 10/10, this episode is top-notch entertainment; as you can probably tell it once again has lots to offer its viewers, but likewise once again there is dark content in this episode as well.

On a quick side note I used to play a lot of Mario Kart on the Nintendo Wii that is why this small sound effect sounds at the very least very familiar to me.
