Birds of Prey

Into these women's lives comes an innocent teenage girl named Dinah (series star Rachel Skarsten), who is drawn to the clock tower by powerful, haunting visions. Unsure of her background but impressed by her budding metahuman powers, the two crimefighters allow Dinah to help them thwart a criminal scheme that has resulted in several mysterious suicides and threatens the city's infrastructure. The mastermind behind the mayhem is Dr. Harleen Quinzel, with whom Helena undergoes court-ordered therapy, unaware that she is actually villain Harley Quinn (series star Mia Sara), a brilliant madwoman who was the paramour of The Joker (voiced by Mark Hamill). Dreaming of creating a criminal empire, Harley plans to release all the lunatics from mental institutions and use the resulting chaos to take control of New Gotham. Meanwhile, a policeman, Detective Jesse Reese (series star Shemar Moore), who possesses a dark secret of his own, goes on a personal mission to figure out what's happening in New Gotham and who the mysterious Helena Kyle really is.

Harley hires Slick (Silas Weir Mitchell), an evil metahuman who can turn from solid to liquid, to kill the honest cops who thwart her evil schemes. When Reese becomes the next intended victim, Helena protects him, and their mutual attraction continues to grow. Meanwhile, Barbara believes Dinah's claim of being a runaway, but Helena remains suspicious.

Helena and Reese clash when they both try to track down a serial killer who destroys metahumans by usurping their powers. Meanwhile, Dinah skips going to school when she learns from Helena that there is a metahumans-only bar. And Barbara meets boyfriend Wade's (recurring guest star Shawn Christian) parents, who think she is not normal enough for their son.

When Helena rescues an abandoned baby boy, Elliott, and brings him back to the clock tower, Barbara and Dinah try to help. However, to everyone's surprise, the baby is only happy when Helena is holding him. Even more astounding is the fact that Elliott wakes from his nap as a walking, talking 5-year-old and is soon a teenager (Riley Smith). Now in a race against time, the women discover that Elliott is programmed to live his entire life in three days--and to kill the first person he becomes attached to, putting Helena in grave danger.

Along with Barbara and Helena, Dinah learns the truth about her past when her mother, Carolyn Lance (Lori Loughlin - "Full House"), comes to New Gotham in search of the daughter she abandoned years before. Dinah is shocked to learn that Carolyn was once Batman's protégé, Black Canary. Meanwhile, Helena finds out that Reese has family problems of his own when he becomes secretive about a ruthless gangster.

At Reese's request, Helena goes undercover to help thwart a gang of thieves terrorizing New Gotham and quickly discovers that the group is part of a larger criminal infrastructure. Helena pursues the top boss until she is exposed, putting her in grave danger. Meanwhile, Barbara must cope with her fear of intimacy when her relationship with Wade (recurring guest star Shawn Christian) becomes serious.
