Learning the truth about Brainiac’s plans from Lena Luthor after the Coluan betrays her, it’s up to Harley, Clayface, and Bane to determine how they’ll spread the word that Metropolis is in imminent danger of being bottled. However, they end up choosing the worst means possible: a musical.
As seen in previous episodes ofHarley Quinnseason 5,Brainiac intends to make Metropolis perfect before shrinking and bottling the city, just as he’s done with so many other cities on countless worlds for centuries.

Harley Quinn Season 5, Episode 6’s Ending and Major Death Explained
So Long, Frank The Plant
Tragically,Frank the Plant is killed at the end ofHarley Quinnseason 5, episode 6. This was presumably done by one of Brainiac’s drones after the musical helped him see the truth that his pet monkey Koko has been dead for ages, and that he’d simply been denying the truth in his insanity.While Poison Ivy desperately tries to save her human/plant hybrid, it seems the damage is too much. It’s more heartbreaking when Frank tells his “mom” that he loves her with his dying breath.
Harley Quinn Season 5, Episode 6 Review: I Can’t Believe Harley Quinn Actually Killed Off One Of Its Best Characters
Harley Quinn season 5’s latest episode kills one of the show’s most beloved characters, and it is a sign that no one is safe in the DC series.
Frank’s murder combined with Brainiac speaking directly to the audience in this new episode ofHarley Quinnproves just how much more dangerous he’s now become. Claiming that he no longer cares about shrinking Metropolis or making it perfect, one can easily guess that Brainiac may simply attempt to burn the city to the ground in future episodes.He’s no longer seeking perfection, and it looks as though Brainiac will become much less methodical and far more unhinged going forward.
