Fun but ridiculous

Ok, the episode was interesting. It was good to see Mary telling off those who neglected her. And her new look is awesome. Also, Alice and Poison Ivy together can be a lot of fun.

But it was not believable that Mary, who was genuinely good, suddenly decided to go for the dark path with the killer of her mom. It simply made no sense for her character to do that.

Besides, there was a lot of silly things.

Ryan could have denounced Marquis for killing her guard and hurting Luke, and they could have made a case that she was forced to sign whatever he wanted to protect Luke and herself. They could have at least tried.

The tough. Responsible Sophie and the even tougher Montoya, who forced her to babysit Alice, decided it wouldn't be a problem with leaving Alice alone for a night. Not mount of passion explains that in character.

Then when Ryan goes to give the cure to Mary, she could have told her that she exchanged the whole Wayne Enterprises for the cure. At least that way Mary would have known she really cared for her. Perhaps it wouldn't have been enough anyway, but at least Ryan should have tried that instead of becoming all bossy and "I will save you".

A transfusion would not have been enough to ruin the nanobots in the worst case, it would have dilute them,

Lastly, why the Poison Ivy infection affected Mary? I thought the desert rose on her blood make her immune to pretty much anything. And they even mentioned it in this episode.

I am actually sad about Mary becoming a villain, I loved her character as it was and I only wanted the other characters to care more for her.

Rather good episode

This episode was really good. I wouldn't have expected an episode centering around two side characters to turn out so good but it worked well. It was nice to see the origin story for both Marques' Joker and Mary's Poison Ivy come to their climax throughout this episode. It is nice because I feel that both of them has had a lot of build up to this point so neither of their stories seemed rushed. I look forward to see what happens next after the break.

Murder guard and just let us slide

Batwoman's brother can kill a guard in front of Luke and blackmail her for her stick and resignation and it never occurs to them to have him arrested instead of just letting him become CEO of Wayne Enterprises. Why just why.
