She-Ra and the Princesses of Power 5.10

Return to the Fright Zone

Adora, Catra, Perfuma, Netossa, and Melog go to the Fright Zone to look for Scorpia. They find her but she isn't the only one there. Scorpia is still chipped. She attacks them. Adora and Perfuma try to subdue Scorpia. Catra and Melog fight with Mermista. Netossa fights with Spinerella, her girlfriend.

Glimmer and Bow go looking for Lance and George, his fathers. They find their home in bad shape but they also find a note that leads them to the ruins. There they find Bow's fathers. Lance and George have uncovered a piece of First One's technology that is activated by the word Eternia. It includes a reference to a failsafe device for the Heart of Etheria.

Perfuma and Adora encounter Horde Prime. He orders Scorpia to kill them, but she doesn't and they get away. Glimmer teleports in and joins the fight just in time to help get the others away from the Fright Zone. Netossa overcomes Spinerella and removes her chip.

Thoughts

The scene with Horde Prime reminded me very much of the setup for the last fight scene in Return of the Jedi. Horde Prime was paying the part of the Emperor and Scorpia was Darth Vader.

The word failsafe makes me nervous. It doesn't sound like a good thing. Isn't that like a deadman's switch? I wonder how they imagine it. I assume that it isn't going to be the panacea they think it will be.
