She-Ra and the Princesses of Power 4.10

Fractures

Glimmer tries to use a truth spell to interrogate Double Trouble but it doesn't work. Adora calls a meeting of the the Princess Alliance to discuss what to do about the Heart of Etheria. Adora and Bow are convinced that they need to disable it. Glimmer wants to use it against the Horde.

Scorpia arrives in Bright Moon. She wants the Princess Alliance to help her rescue Entrapta from Beast Island. They are suspicious of her motivations. They lock her and Emily up in the spare bedroom. Frosta and Perfuma keep Scorpia company.

Catra looks for Scorpia without success. She can't contact Double Trouble. She yells at Lonnie. She smashes a lot of equipment. She is not in a good mood.

Glimmer gets into an argument with Bow and Adora about what to do about the Heart of Etheria. She orders them both to stay in the castle. They defy her orders and leave with Swift Wind. Frosta spots them leaving but she lets them go without telling Glimmer.

Adora, Bow, and Swift Wind head to the Whispering Woods. They find Mara's ship. It takes them a little while to figure out how to fly it. Once they do they set a course for Beast Island.

Glimmer finds out about Horde Prime from Double Trouble. She goes to find Adora and Bow only to discover that they have left. She goes looking for Light Hope.

Thoughts

There are a lot of developments in this episode but it also felt like there was a little too much happening all at once. Some of the supporting characters are fairly one note and it makes sense for them to be one note. I can't say the same thing about Glimmer and Catra. They are way too one note and lacking in nuance. They both seem to believe that they have the answers. They think that if everyone else would listen to them they can solve the problems. They don't value their friends. They aren't very good listeners.

This is just an okay episode.
