'Harley Quinn' Season 2 Episode 2 Preview: Undercover Harley and Ivy are back at school to get to Riddler
Harley Quinn (Kayley Cuoco) has set Gotham's villains — the new Injustice League — in her sights, and she's going to take them down, one by one. The Riddler (Jim Rash) is her first target, and he lies safe behind the walls of Riddler University. To get to him, Harley and Poison Ivy (Lake Bell) are going to have to suit up, age down, and go undercover as they head back to college! And you thought your dean was evil.
Last episode, we saw that in the wake of the Gotham earthquake caused by the Joker (Alan Tudyk), the villains of Gotham have formed a new Injustice League and have taken over New Gotham — calling it New New Gotham instead. New New Gotham has been divided neatly into territories, shaped by the villains' whims, and the Riddler has opened a new university in his name. Though her crew is competent, Harley doesn't have an army of goons to be able to start a war with — so she's going to go undercover as a student to Riddler University.
For Harley, the goal of taking over New New Gotham has gotten personal, after the Injustice League froze her in a block of ice and kept her on display for months. None of them have taken Harley seriously as a villain, but after killing the Penguin (Wayne Knight), Harley just might have risen from being seen as the Joker's sidekick to being a serious threat.
Going undercover takes on a whole new meaning for Harley and Ivy, as both their transformations into supervillains have transformed their skin in a way that stands out.
Preview images for the episode show the two of them colored more normally — Harley's white and Ivy's green covered up, as the two drop the costumes and don a younger look to blend in as college co-eds. The question is, how well can they blend in with a younger crowd? Is Harley going to be able to ignore college party life long enough to focus on the mission? What is the application process for a supervillain's university even like?
