Harley has been invited to the housewarming party of Poison Ivy and wonders what gift to bring. Her pets make various suggestions and she chooses a rare bonsai tree. While coming across a showcase of rare plants, she learns that many of them were originally stolen from their rightful owners and decides it's nothing wrong if she steals it herself.
While she searches for the rare bonsai, Harley's pets disconnect some wires to dim the lights and make her notice the killer robot behind her. The robot attacks Harley, preventing her several times from stealing the bonsai tree while also capturing all her pets. Harley however succeeds in tricking it and stealing the bonsai. While leaving, she forgets that all her pets have been captured and attacks the killer robot to free them.

Harley realizes she's late for the housewarming part and apologizes to Poison Ivy after reaching her lair. As she resents not being able to bring her a gift, Ivy tries to comfort her but Harley's pet python Pierogi regurgitates the man-eating Gargantua seeds, one of the rarest plants in the world.

Synopsis for "The Lady or the Tiger"
This story is reprinted from Villains Giant #1.
Harley while traversing through rooftops spots and attacks Huntress, who immediately subdues her before helping her get back up. She hands her the dossier on Tony Wymoux as she asked and warns that he's a dangerous man. Harley states that she knows and is prepared to deal with any trouble.
Harley narrates that Tony was her schoolmate and she had a crush on him because he seemed exciting. Tony used to bully the other kids and was always accompanied by his friend Glenn. One day, he dared Harley to eat a mouse to become her girlfriend and though she didn't, a part of her did consider doing it. Tony started calling her "mouse-girl", which became her hated nickname in school.
While attacking the guards outside Tony's hideout, Harley states that she knew his wife Bettany after being wrongly implicated in a robbery committed by him, but she never admitted the truth because of the physical abuse she used to suffer at her husband's hands. After her release Bettany went missing. Harley attacks the guards inside the hideout and Tony who is preparing to kill Bettany is alerted when Glenn shoots at her.
After she knocks out all the guards, Tony drops Bettany from a height, allowing him to try to escape using a car while Harley saves her. Harley throws the bombs she stole from the Joker at Tony's car, causing it to fall in the river. Tony pleads to be rescues stating he doesn't even know her, but she informs that he used to call him mouse-girl. She asks Bettany about saving him but she stays silent. As Tony drowns, Harley narrates she'd never save him anyway.
