Summary[]
One night, on the rooftop of a building in Metropolis, Harley Quinn remarks in surprise that she and Lady Shiva are project partners for advanced Stake-Out class while playing with her mallet. Meanwhile, Lady Shiva looks out on the street through a pair of binoculars and replies that Principal Waller clearly came up with the idea of pairing the two together, annoyed at Harley's carefree attitude towards the project.
Shiva asks Harley if she has seen any sign of Cheshire yet, to which Harley replies that she has not, jokingly remarking that as a deadly assassin, she is "probably out deadly assassinating". Shiva tells Harley to stop joking around in fear that she will give away their location. Harley takes Shiva's binoculars with the handle of her mallet and asks her why is she so serious. Shiva replies that their assignment is serious.
Harley then looks through the binoculars at Shiva, and tells her that she is so serious, that she bets that she does not know a single joke, while Shiva glares through the binoculars back at Harley. Playing I Spy, Harley then uses the binoculars to look at a nearby rooftop and sees Cheshire jump in front of her. Shiva dismisses Harley when she mentions Cheshire at the end of I Spy with my little eye, but realizes that Cheshire really is there. Both Shiva and Harley jump back onto the roof edge, as charges at them.
Cheshire swipes at them with her nails, and they immediately jump off the rooftop. Shiva grabs on to a flagpole and uses it to land safely while Harley falls through an awning and flips into a crate of oranges. Harley and Shiva acrobatically ascend a fire escape t prevent Cheshire from getting away. Upon arriving to the roof of a building, they find no one there. While searching for Cheshire, Harley jokes that she and Cheshire should join up for a variety show, loudly admiring Cheshire's disappearing act as a complement to her stand-up. Shiva then hushes Harley, furiously stating Harley that she doesn't want to fail because of Harley's lack of focus.
Harley responds that would not have to entertain herself if Shiva would just tell a joke. Irritated, Shiva begins to tell Harley a Knock-Knock joke as Cheshire appears behind Harley. After Harley replies "Who's there", Shiva exclaims "Duck", and pushes Harley down after she replies "Duck who?" and delivers a powerful blow to Cheshire, knocking her out. Back on the streets, Cheshire is arrested and locked in the back of a police truck. Harley compliments Shiva's comedic ability, saying that she is both great with timing and a "punchline". Shiva giggles, but asks Harley to not tell anyone as the truck drives away.
