Episode Summary & Review
Summary
Harley and Ivy attempt to mend the longstanding childhood rivalry between the Luthor siblings before Metropolis is destroyed. Meanwhile, an unlikely alliance forms between Bruce, the Joker and Lois as they fight for their lives amid the chaos in the city.
Our Take
The Luthor sibling therapy session has some genuinely funny moments, especially whenever Lex and Lena start sniping at each other. The B-plot with Bruce, Joker, and Lois works better than it should, though the citywide destruction feels like background noise. A solid setup episode that moves pieces into place for the finale without ever feeling like filler. Worth a watch, just don’t expect a standout.
