She-Ra and the Princesses of Power 4.09

Hero

Adora and Swift Wind visit Madam Razz. Adora remembers that Mara told her about a weapon. Adora thinks that Madam Razz should know about the weapon. Madam Razz has other ideas. She wants to make a pie. She wants Adora to help her make the pie. 

Adora and Swift Wind follow Madam Razz as she runs around looking for sugar and berries for the pie. Madam Razz leads Adora and Swift Wind to a site of First Ones tech that they had not known about.

Madam Razz experiences flashbacks throughout the episode. She jumps back and forth between the past (with Mara) and the present (with Adora). She teaches Mara about Etheria while she runs around looking for ingredients for the pie. She calls Mara and Adora by one another's names on numrous occasions.

The episode ends with a recording of Mara explaining to Adora why she moved Etheria to the pocket dimension of Despondos. The people that sent her to Etheria intended it to be a weapon. She-Ra is the key to that weapon. Mara crashed her spaceship into Etheria after moving it to Despondos.

Thoughts

This was a very cool, confusing, and moving episode. There was a lot of Mara in this episode. I really enjoyed getting to learn more about her. I especially liked getting to see her transform into She-Ra.

I found the ending to be very moving as Mara explains what she knows to Adora. Madam Razz's attachment to Mara was also very moving. She really misses Mara.

I'm starting to wonder if Mara's people, the ones who sent her, are Horde Prime and his followers. 

Excellent episode. I'm not sure how I would rate it compared to others. It feels like a step back in the sense that it doesn't move the story forward as much as it provides some background information.
