An Ill Wind




May 15, 2020


An Ill Wind is the ninth episode of the fifth season and the forty-eighth episode overall of She-Ra and the Princesses of Power. It was released on Netflix with the rest of the fifth season on May 15, 2020.

Synopsis []

The Best Friends Squad returns from space and regroups with what remains of the Rebellion on Etheria. They quietly infiltrate the town of Erelandia to free the inhabitants from Horde occupation while Netossa tries to release Spinnerella from being controlled by Horde Prime's chip.

Plot []

The crew on Mara’s ship returns to Etheria and finds the rebel base in ruins. They decide to gather intel. Glimmer teleports everyone to Erelandia which they find out is guarded by bots and clones. Entrapta, Bow, Glimmer, Catra and Adora follow Wrong Hordak into the village in disguise.

On his ship, Horde Prime watches as dozens of planets begin to rise up against him, including some images of the Star Siblings fighting back in the name of the Rebellion and She-Ra. Prime vows to find a way to use the Heart of Etheria without She-Ra, also sending word to the chipped Spinnerella.

So the only person I'm fighting is... my own wife.
— Netossa, distraught about the situation

The heroes try to question the village folk but the locals are too scared to answer them, except for one shopkeeper, who tells the heroes that the Rebellion has joined the Horde and that Princesses attacked the town. Right at that moment, Spinnerella lands in the village and attacks the heroes. After trading blows and pleas to stop the attack, a distraught Netossa joins and begins defending the town from Spinnerella. Rather than risking hurting their chipped friend, Glimmer teleports everyone away from the fight. Netossa sees Catra and instantly attacks, trapping her in a net. She has the same reaction at seeing Wrong Hordak. She then explains the amount of damage done, all the Princesses and friends who are now under Prime's control.

Aboard Prime's ship, Hordak ponders the data crystal that Entrapta gave to him. Prime confides in Hordak that he has forgotten something and needs to reactivate a clone to remember. Hordak brings the discarded clone online and Prime remembers that the First Ones relied upon magic, a concept which confuses him, while it triggers memories of Etheria in Hordak.

Glimmer and the rest return to Erelandia, and, using Wrong Hordak, they draw out two clones before easily defeating them. Next, they begin an assault on the enemies inside the village. She-Ra and Netossa attack Spinnerella while the rest handle the bots. While fighting her wife, the conflict becomes too great for Spinnerella and the chip grows in size, hurting her and causing her to flee. With the Horde purged from the village, the citizens pledge themselves to the Rebellion.

Fine, but I still don't like her face!
— Frosta, displeased with Catra’s presence
She-Ra Rebellion Comeback

The Rebellion takes a stand, ready to fight.

Horde Prime watches the return of She-Ra on a screen in his ship and decides to immediately go to Etheria and deal with the Princesses and their allies himself. While on Etheria, Netossa leads everyone to the hideout, where there is a joyous reunion. Unfortunately, Frosta sees Catra and downs her with an ice-haymaker before being told that she has switched sides. Adora pledges to free all their friends and defeat Prime.

  • When Horde Prime is about to send a message to Spinnerella, the footages used in his computer are actually recycled from "Perils of Peekablue".
  • The new rebel base is the same cave Catra was using in "Pulse."
