She-Ra and the Princesses of Power 4.06

Princess Scorpia

She-Ra, Glimmer, and Bow attack a bunch of Horde outposts in the northern reaches. The outposts are suspiciously undermanned. Flutterina is with them. They still don't know the truth about her. She does what she can to get She-Ra and Glimmer angry at one another.

Hordak is having trouble assembling the super weapon that Entrapta was building when she was banished to Beast Island. He orders Catra to find Entrapta's notes. Catra turns the task over to Scorpia, who still holds out hope that they are still friends. 

Scorpia looks for the notes with help from Emily, Entrapta's robotic friend. Scorpia tells Emily a little about her past and how the Fright Zone used to be her family's kingdom. Emily reveals that the notes she is looking for are inside her. They can't be removed without destroying Emily.

Scorpia considers handing Emily over to Catra. Scorpia ultimately decides not to do that. She instead gives Catra a piece of equipment that she claims she took from Emily. Catra isn't satisfied and gives Scorpia a hard time. Catra then goes to see Hordak and gives him a pep talk that helps to convince him that they don't need Entrapta's notes.

Scorpia finds Emily and together they leave to go look for Entrapta.

Thoughts

This was a great episode, possibly my favorite of the season up to this point. I really liked the spotlight on Scorpia. I was worried that she was going to turn Emily over to Catra. I think I might have cried if she had done that.

Emily reminded me very much of R2-D2 in this episode. It was partly the noises she made and partly the role she played in the story. I guess that makes Scopia the Luke Skywalker of this episode and Entrapta would have to be Ben Kenobi.

Scorpia's dilemma is at the center of this episode. She wants to believe the best about Catra. She has seen ample evidence that Catra isn't nice or fair but she keeps trusting her. I was so relieved when she finally decided it was time to leave the Horde and the Fright Zone.

Scorpia touches the Black Garnet while she is looking for Entrapta's notes. The Black Garnet seems to react but Scorpia doesn't notice. I wonder if this is a bit of foreshadowing of events to come.
