Light Hope is the twelfth episode of Season One of She-Ra and the Princesses of Power.
It was released on Netflix with the rest of the first season on November 13, 2018.
Synopsis[]
Swift Wind comes to Bright Moon, Entrapta decrypts the First Ones' Data Crystal, and Light Hope reveals to Adora the history of She-Ra and Etheria.
Plot[]
After being abandoned by Catra in the Crystal Castle, Adora is able to let go of her past and is finally able to meet Light Hope, who tells her about the First Ones and the legacy of She-Ra.
Light Hope reveals to Adora that she is meant to be the defender of all Etheria, and tries to convince her to remain in the Crystal Castle so that she can train as She-Ra and develop her powers.
Although it is unclear when, Light Hope placed Adora in a trance after she entered the Crystal Castle, projecting herself and the simulated events of the previous episode into Adora's mind. Glimmer and Bow are able to gain entry to the Crystal Castle using Swift Wind's connection with Adora. Swift Wind then enters the dream-like state that Adora was in and helps her to regain consciousnesses and escape.
Meanwhile, back in the Fright Zone, Entrapta learns more about the First Ones by studying a First Ones' Data Crystal. She discovers that the First Ones' technology is integrated throughout the entire planet of Etheria, thus proving that Etheria itself is a giant weapon of magical energy, with the five elemental runestones acting as access points to control the planet's magic.
When Hordak discovers this he encourages Catra to use the Black Garnet runestone in an attempt to gain an upper hand over the Rebellion - but Shadow Weaver jealously guards it against Hordak's command and uses her magic to immobilize Scorpia and Entrapta.
A fight ensues between Catra and Shadow Weaver, which ends after Catra claws out the piece of Black Garnet that was embedded in Shadow Weaver's mask. Now powerless, Shadow Weaver is taken to a detention cell and Entrapta is able to examine the runestone.
Entrapta begins her experiment on the Black Garnet, zapping energy from the other runestones and causing severe disruptions to the balance of Etheria. This causes the planet-wide weather disturbances and the near destruction of the Whispering Woods, leaving Bright Moon open to a massive Horde attack.

Trivia[]
- It is revealed that there were other She-Ras in the She-Ra line before Adora. The Masters of the Universe Classics line established that several people had taken on the mantle of He-Man before Prince Adam's time by combining information from various different incarnations of the series. This is the first time that the same is said to be true for She-Ra.
- The Dimension of Despondos was first mentioned in the 2002 He-Man and the Masters of the Universe episode The Power of Grayskull. It was later revealed, in the Masters of the Universe Classics line, that the planet Etheria was located in this dimension.
