The Princess Alliance falls apart in the aftermath of the loss of Entrapta. The princesses each go their separate way. Adora goes back to Bright Moon with Glimmer and Bow. Glimmer has lost the ability to teleport and she is suffering from some weird illness that makes her glow red and hot to the touch. She keeps it secret from her mother as long as she can by hiding in her room. Her mother eventually insists on having dinner with Glimmer alone.
Entrapta resurfaces in the Fright Zone. Catra finds her and locks her up. She tries scaring Entrapta into telling them the secrets of the Princess Alliance. Entrapta is a little too naive to be scared. She keeps breaking out of the restraints in which Catra and Scorpia place her. Catra gets very interested when Entrapta starts talking about First Ones technology. She gets Entrapta to show her where she might find some of it and then takes off on a solo mission to the Whispering Wood.
Adora tries to help Glimmer, both as She-Ra and as herself, without much success. She ultimately decides that she needs to go back to the Beacon so that she can train. She needs to learn about her powers and the powers of the sword. She takes off into the Whispering Wood. She walks around in circles for some time. Just as she is about ready to give up she sees a glowing light and heads towards it. Catra also sees the light and Adora.
Thoughts
There are a number of good moments in this episode. Catra's interrogation of Entrapta was hilarious. It is stated that Shadow Weaver is to blame for what is happening to Glimmer but what if she isn't? What if this is something natural, akin to puberty? Maybe Glimmer's power set is going to change as a result of what she is going through?
Shadow Weaver is in a couple scenes. She gets dressed down by Hordak in the first scene, which gives Catra a good laigh. In the second one she is talking to Catra as she is getting ready to go looking for First Ones tech in the Whispering Wood. Shadow Weaver seems more docile and motherly toward Catra in that scene. I wondered for a moment if Shadow Weaver might be Catra's real mother. Probably not but the thought occurred to me.
This is a promising first part or half. I am eager to see what come next.
