It’s amazing how this season of Harley Quinn started just okay and yet managed to return to full form with banger after banger. The penultimate episode of season 5 is the perfect example of that.
Harley Quinn, Poison Ivy, and Sharon Quinzel (Harley’s mother) needed a plan to return Metropolis to its normal size. The only way to do that was to stop Lena Luthor with none other than her villainous brother Lex Luthor. Sadly, Harley’s plan to use Lex’s plan failed. And when Harley uses her incredible skills as a therapist to help Lena and Luthor get over their rivalry, she only makes them stronger. It ends with them teaming up, shrinking Ivy, Harley, and Sharon, and putting them in a bottle with Brainiac.
Back on Earth, the unlikely trio of Joker, Lois Lane, and Bruce Wayne (not as Batman) were trying to keep things together in Metropolis. After attempting everything and failing, Joker is forced to be the voice of reason (a statement few people have ever said) and tells Lois to contact Superman. With the power out in Metropolis (thanks to Bruce’s untested device), Lois uses Morse Code to contact The Man of Steel. Will he get there in time to save the day or will Harley and Ivy do the impossible once again? You’ll have to watch the next episode to find out.

What to expect from Harley Quinn's season 5 finale
The season 5 finale of Harley Quinn will undoubtedly show us how Harley and Ivy will manage to pull a win out of their butts at a miniature size when they are trapped in a bottle. There's no way Superman achieves victory for the team alone because this isn't his show. We'll also learn the fate of Brainiac. The easy guess is that he dies saving everyone or returns the cities he captured to their rightful planets (maybe Harley and Ivy join him). But, who knows, maybe he'll stay on Earth. He's the right kind of naïve that fans would enjoy.
Also, we still don't know what's going on with Golden Glider's mom, Rebecca Chen. She has the Anti-Life Equation and wants to destroy everything (see the season finale of Kite Man: Hell yeah). That could be the plot for the next season of Harley Quinn or the premise for season 2 of the spinoff. Unfortunately, neither show has a definite future confirmed as of yet.
As of writing, there is currently no news on if either show has been renewed. If this writer had to guess, we can assume that Harley, Ivy, and the rest of her crew will get at least get some kind of a send-off. Whether it's in another season, a Max special to give everyone a proper send-off, or a DC comic book (two comics connect what happened between seasons), fans will hopefully get closure. Stay tuned to Bam Smack Pow to find out how that happens.
