She-Ra and the Princesses of Power 5.06

Taking Control

Adora, Catra, Glimmer, Bow, and Entrapta are headed for home but Darla, their ship isn't in the best of shape. Horde Prime sends some of his robot after them. They don't understand how it is that Horde Prime is tracking them until they realize that it must be through the chip on the back on Catra's neck.

Frosta, Micah, Netossa, Spineralla, and Swift Wind head to Elberon to help the people there. They arrive expecting trouble but there doesn't seem to be any sign of the forces of Horde Prime. They are invited in for a celebration but all the villagers are acting weird.

Adora asks Entrapta to remove the chip off Catra's neck. Catra bristles at the notion of letting Entrapta operate on her but she finally relents. Adora transforms into She-Ra and takes on the ships that are following them. She destroys them all. Entrapta removes the chip off of Catra.

Frosta and the others finally figure out that villagers are being controlled by Horde Prime. They don't want to harm the villagers. Swift Wind experiences a surge of energy and clears a path for them to escape. They return to their camp unaware that Spinnerella now has a chip on the back of her neck.

Thoughts

I liked the exchanges between Micah and Frosta. He's trying to be nice to her but she turns every attempt at a compliment into an insult. 

It was thrilling to see Adora transform into She-Ra once again. I'm not sure if it was the same as in the previous episode but it was definitely different than it was in previous seasons.

She-Ra seems all powerful at moments, kind of like Horde Prime does at times. 

I didn't enjoy this episode as much as the previous one. It didn't have quite as many interesting twists and turns. It was good to see that part of the episode takes place on Etheria.
