For context, Harleen was released from Arkham and went to buy a dress. After being treated horribly by everyone, she paid for the dress but left without having the security tag removed. The alarm went off and when she saw a guard coming towards her, she had a mental break. Hijinks ensued. Bruce spent the entire day helping her.
I cannot stress this enough: BTAS was the show that created Harley Quinn. Decades later, she’s one of the most iconic characters in DC, but the animated series was the foundation of her characterization.
This is one of the reasons why Batman The Animated Series (and it’s associated media) is the only definitive versions of Batman for me. It’s not just about the doom&gloom. So much good came out of this series, and it deserves every piece of praise it gets.
