Synopsis[]
Somebody has been hacking into Harley's computer, and using it to hire assassins to take her out. Harley and Ivy spend a day at the beach at Coney Island trying to figure out who is behind all of this. Ivy uses her pheromone control to make two meat-heads give them foot massages and pedicures. They eventually return to Harley's apartment where Ivy tells Harley that the orders are definitely being transmitted from her laptop. She tells Harley to go to sleep while she hides in the closet waiting for the hacker to return.
Ivy discovers that Harley has been sleepwalking and is actually the one responsible for hiring the assassins herself. The notion is that if she brings all of the city's toughest hitpeople to her doorstep, then she can take them all out in one fell swoop. Two masked assassins named Karen and Jerry break through the window and attack them. Ivy does most of the fighting, but it is actually Harley who delivers the kill shots, first by throwing a knife into Jerry's throat, and then by pitching Karen through the window, where her body is sliced in half on the barb wire fence below.
After consulting with their contact, Big Tony, they go to a dive bar where a large assembly of hitmen and women are present, ready to fulfill the contract. Harley announces that the contract has been called off, and intimidates them by insuring the crowd that it would be in all of their best interests to leave them alone. One veteran assassin has no intention of abandoning the job, but Big Tony drives the point home by shooting him in the face.
