The Battle of Bright Moon is the thirteenth and final episode of Season One from She-Ra and the Princesses of Power.
It was released on Netflix with the rest of Season One on November 13, 2018.
Synopsis[]
Entrapta's plan to draw power from the Black Garnet by drawing power from the other runestones allows Catra and Scorpia to attack Bright Moon, but Adora and her friends are ready to fight back.
Plot[]
The timing is perfect. Glimmer's connection to The Moonstone is damaged, causing her to glitch and her powers severed. The Black Garnet disrupting the other Runestone's connections with each other. The princesses are at a vulnerable point, and so the Horde army assault Bright Moon.
The scene starts with omnious thunder as the heroes fly on Swift Wind from the Fright Zone and return to Bright Moon, alarmed and wanting to protect their citizens. Tidal waves, fire storms, and earthquakes occur all around Etheria, according to Scorpia as she, Entrapta, and Catra are perched in the Horde. Catra is enthusiastic at the idea of Entrapta's experiment succeeding to make the elemental princesses weaker, and seizes this opportunity to make the effect permanent.
The break in the connection between the Runestones caused the Whispering Woods to freeze. This may have happened first to the Whispering Woods because of its proximity to the the Fright Zone; it may have been just the first step in what could have been the total destruction of Etheria. Queen Angella sees this and recognizes that the elements are out of harmony, so she sends a distress beacon just as Bow, Glimmer, and Adora arrive. She's noticeably growing weaker as well, but she makes fervent efforts to keep her power to the Moonstone. Bow informs that the Horde had been moving towards them through the Whispering Woods.
Queen Angella tries to keep the Moonstone safe, knowing that total darkness will take over if it is to be destroyed. Spinnerella and Netossa arrive at the call of the distress beacon. Adora insists that she will be doing this alone and that she is useless otherwise. Glimmer wants to join in the fighting, but her mother is being protective of her, especially seeing her powers malfunction. Adora recalls a warning of Light Hope in the First Ones temple, the Crystal Castle, saying that Catra will end up being evil, and Adora tried to fix that, instead doing what Adora believes pushed Catra further to the evil side. This gave Adora the burden of guilt and responsibility with it, that this was her fault somehow.
Glimmer and Bow give Adora emotional support while they prepare for battle. Glimmer reveals a secret room where she has apparently been stealing and hiding weapons for months. Angella, much to Glimmer's surprise, does not attempt to contradict this and instead apologizes for having done so in the past. She accepts Glimmer's personality for who she is, admitting that her overprotection was on behalf of Glimmer's similarities to her husband Micah, and being reminded of him, she did not want to lose her the way she lost him. She shows her full support as they confidentally charge into battle.
Fighting remains eventful and fierce, but the strongest wave comes upon Catra. Catra, standing at the center of the commotion, approaches Adora with
Adora, Glimmer, Bow, Netossa, and Spinnerella lead the defense of the Kingdom. Using new weapons developed by Entrapta, the Horde forces led by Catra and Scorpia look set to conquer the kingdom until reinforcements arrive in the shape of Frosta, Perfuma, Mermista, and Sea Hawk who turn the tide of battle and save Bright Moon. Catra believes that this battle will be endgame, and cackles with the pride as the Horde spreads further into Etheria, all the way down to the grand city of Bright Moon. Her idea is that if Bright Moon is conquered, the rest of the kingdoms will be easier to vanquish.
In the end, the battle was turned by the Princesses working in unity with the Sword of Protection. The Princesses working cooperatively created a rainbow wave of magic, aura generation; this is what repulsed the Horde and reconnected Glimmer to the Moonstone which ended her glitching.

Trivia[]
- When The Best Friend Squad escaped on Swift Wind at the end of the previous episode (Light Hope), She-Ra was positioned in the front, Glimmer was in the middle, and Bow was in the back. At the start of this episode She-Ra is now sitting in the back, with Glimmer in front and Bow in the middle.
- Just after Adora transforms into She-Ra, she is staring at the Horde army with Glimmer and Bow. The animators neglected to draw the outline of Glimmer's shorts on one side of her staff and the entire section is given a flesh color.
- When Angella is hugging She-Ra, Glimmer, Bow and Swift Wind she manages to wrap her wings around all of them. But Swift Wind, whose wings should be even bigger in size, has lost them in this shot.
