Celebrating She-Ra's Return
Darla detected Prime's bot ships, Entrapta said the safest thing to do was fly through a nearby asteroid field. Adora gave the go-ahead and Bow reluctantly piloted the ship using a previously unseen user interface. Even though the went into the asteroid field Prime's ships found them and opened fire. Adora realized that the bots were tracking Catra's ship; she took Entrapta to Catra's room to remove her chip. Catra resisted but Adora told her they were going to remove the chip, no other options available. She then said that after that she'd be willing to drop off Catra wherever she wanted to go. Catra then relented, as long as Adora stayed with her during the operation. Catra asked for a moment to use the chip to see into Prime's mind and discover his plans, Adora agreed. Catra succeed and found out that Prime is putting chips on all the Etherians he can.

At the same time Swift Wind was empowered by his connection to She-Ra and knocked out the villagers with a flash of blinding light he created. Adora leaped from asteroid to asteroid destroying Prime's bots and their ships while Entrapta removed Catra's chip. Catra tearfully thanked Entrapta and apologized for her multitude offences; Entrapta forgave her without a thought. Glimmer and Wrong Hordak brought dumplings that they baked. Meekly, Catra joined them. Bow and Glimmer scooch aside to make a spot for her much to her surprise. As they eat Adora smiles at Catra and she smiles back.
