Taking Control

Darla hurtles through space, engine thrumming. Glimmer and Bow scream on the ship's bridge, the ship beeps and blares an alarm. The ship stops shaking suddenly, causing Bow to grunt, and a computerized chime is heard as Entrapta rushes in.

Entrapta announces,
"Okay, I patched the shielding on the aft starboard ancillary booster, try it now."

Bow nervously answers,
"I have no idea what that is."

Entrapta explains for us,
"I'm working on getting the autopilot up and functional again." she starts glancing behind her.

"Wrong Hordak, blow torch!"

Wrong Hordak walks up next to Glimmer and Bow, happily gassing the blow torch on as Glimmer gasps in surprise.

Bow, when Glimmer looks at him, speaks,
"What? We couldn't just leave him behind. And he's harmless, you know, since I..."

Entrapta's welding sparks electrically, casting light on Wrong Hordak, melodramatic horror music plays as Bow tells the rest,
"kind of, you know, fried him and scrambled his brains..."

The bridge doors open and close in a hum as Adora walks in.

Glimmer asks,
"How's Catra?"

Adora nervously rambles,
"Good, I think. I j--I keep checking on her, but she's been sleeping for a while, do you think I should check on her again?"

I grab her shoulders and look her in the eyes,
"Adora, sweetheart, she needs rest. She can't get that if you keep barging into her room all day."

"Right, right."

A pause, then, Adora starts nervously rambling again,
"...But what if she wakes up and needs something?" she begins to walk away.

"I'm j-I'm just gonna go check on her--" Glimmer blocks her path sternly.

"No, no, no, you're right. Letting her rest." the blonde lets out a nervous chuckle.

Glimmer taps Adora lightly with her fist and happily states,
"Come on, guys. We faced Horde Prime and made it out alive."

Bow, also happily, and in a disbelieving tone, replies with,
"I honestly cannot believe it worked."

Glimmer loudly reminds everyone,
"Plus, She-Ra's back!" she hugs Adora as she chuckles slightly.

Bow looks at Adora and asks,
"How did you do that without the sword?"

Adora thinks for a moment before answering,
"I don't know. I just...suddenly felt her again. Like she'd never left. Like she's been in there all along just waiting to come out..." she then quickly says,
"I just have no idea how to do it again."

"Remember what Razz told us? She-Ra isn't a sword, she's magic. And magic just is. It can't be materialized." I remind the blonde.

Glimmer reassures Adora,
"You'll figure it out. What's important is that she was there when your friends needed her."

"Well, friends, and one person who threw me off a cliff once, but sure." Bow says.

"Oh, I can't believe we're finally going home!" Glimmer hugs onto Bow.

A boom happens as the ship shakes, and Adora yells as she loses her balance.

Bow scolds Glimmer,
"Steering!"

Glimmer lets go of him,
"Oh, sorry! Sorry."

A screen boops in front of Bow as he presses it,
"With Darla damaged, our speed's at 30 percent. If Entrapta can't fix it, it will take us a while to get there."
