Synopsis[]
Adora, together with Micah and the princesses search for a way to fight back and to rescue Queen Glimmer. On Horde Prime's flagship, Catra schemes.
Plot[]
In the midst of a battle, Adora remembers that, with the Sword of Protection destroyed, she cannot transform into She-Ra.
As the Horde Armada's bots and invasion spires land on Etheria, Adora, Mermista, Frosta, Bow and Perfuma lead villagers to safety. From his space station Horde Prime observes Adora and the rescue. While the Etherians take cover under a tent of protective spells, the heroes plan their rescue of Glimmer using Mara's ship. In the meantime, they choose to stay undercover, having abandoned Bright Moon. They focus on getting intel through reconnaissance and getting as many people to safety as possible.
On Horde Prime's space station, Glimmer struggles to use her powers while imprisoned. Catra pledges to follow Horde Prime and goes to pester Glimmer.
Soon after, the pair are invited to dinner with Prime, where he reveals how his plan to conquer Etheria will play out. Both women are visibly distressed when seeing the destruction on their planet. In a moment where Horde Prime threatens to eliminate Adora, Glimmer successfully begs for her life, revealing to Prime that she is essential to the functioning of the Heart of Etheria. Later, noting Catra's feelings for Adora, he tells her that he doubts her usefulness, claiming that she and all Etherians are weak because of their strong connections to each other.

While Adora attacks three clones, Scorpia stings her unconscious to save her life since they were losing and needed to retreat. She later apologizes profusely but says that she'll do it again if needed. While bots attack their hideout, Bow, Scorpia, Adora and Swift Wind capture a Horde clone to interrogate him about Glimmer's location. They abandon the clone when they see a distress flare from Micah, and they return to camp. After holding off the bots they retreat to a magically protected place where Razz had taken Adora previously: the deepest part of the Whispering Woods.
