The Coronation is the first episode of Season Four and twenty-seventh episode overall of She-Ra and the Princesses of Power.
It was released on Netflix with the rest of Season Four on November 5th, 2019.
Synopsis[]
The day of Glimmer's coronation arrives, overshadowed by grief. Accompanied by Adora and Bow, she embarks on a quest to find the Chamber of Queens.
Plot[]
Adora and Bow, together with the rest of the Princess Alliance, gather for the coronation of Glimmer, who is to be crowned Queen of Bright Moon. However, Glimmer is still grieving for her mother Angella, and is upset at the festive atmosphere and the attention being lavished upon her. Adora and Bow are in a mutual agreement that they should distract Glimmer from the recent death of her mother, which, as they later discover, is the opposite of what she wanted.
In Hordak's Sanctum, Catra is told by Hordak that the signal to Horde Prime was sent through when she opened the portal.

Glimmer must pass a test to be the new queen of Bright Moon: she must enter the Chamber of Queens, under the castle, and place a lantern on a pedestal.
The coronation ceremony begins, and it is announced by the scroll that the key coronation ritual involves traveling into a magical cave below Bright Moon, the Chamber of Queens. During the quest, Glimmer, Adora and Bow encounter the Bright Moon Guardian, which attacks them. After some effort and confessions, Glimmer is able to calm the giant slug down by coming to terms with her mother's loss and embracing her powers. She claims the full power of the Moonstone and is officially pronounced queen.
Meanwhile, a furious Hordak blames Catra for the recent debacle involving the Portal. Scorpia wants to retrieve Entrapta from Beast Island but Catra perpetuates the lie that Entrapta sabotaged the portal.

— Catra

Later, Catra defeats Hordak in a one-on-one combat by removing his crystal and forces him to finally submit.

Trivia[]
- George and Lance make a cameo appearance at Glimmer's coronation.
- Baker, Soda Pop and Busgirl were also seen at the coronation.
- This is the final episode to feature Reshma Shetty, who provides her voice for a pre-recorded hologram of Queen Angella.
- Starting with this episode, the title shot of the opening theme is updated with Glimmer as Queen of Bright Moon, while Angella's spot is replaced by the spirit of Adora's predecessor Mara. In addition, the villain sequence has been changed to make Scorpia more sadder. It also features the addition of Double Trouble, and during the group shot at the end, Entrapta has also been removed and replaced by Flutterina. When it shows Catra (now in her redesign), Shadow Weaver has also been removed and replaced by Horde Prime.
- According to Shane Lynch and Josie Campbell, this episode takes place roughly three months after "The Portal", or at least after a long enough timeskip for Catra and Glimmer's hair to grow out.[1][2]
