By the end of Harley Quinn season 5, episode 7, Lena Luthor is revealed to be the season"s true big bad. Wanting to rule over Metropolis in its entirety, Lena originally cut a deal with Brainiac so she could do just that if she helped keep his activities secret. However, Brainiac"s betrayal led Lena to try and expose the Coluan supervillain, only for Harley, Ivy, and company to not really take her seriously, having chosen to produce a Brainiac musical, one that ended up making the villain somewhat sympathetic thanks to Clayface and Bane"s poetic license with the script.
