History ShipTease / SheRaAndThePrincessesOfPower

* The ThemeSong's DarkReprise, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1dgubaXHhio sung in Catra's perspective]], ends with [[{{Catchphrase}} two words]], making it apparent who it's dedicated to.

* Adora and Catra have a very close relationship that teeters between sisterly and romantic for the entire run of the show, and their complicated feelings for each other are only made [[FoeYay worse]] after Adora's defection. The love they had for each other [[WordOfSaintPaul has been described]] as unconditional, which as you can see from the below examples is completely true.

* While Hordak shows respect for Entrapta's skills as early as Season 1, their true relationship begins in "Signals", when Entrapta sneaks into his sanctum. This is a scary moment for the audience, who have just seen Catra punished for entering the lab without permission. When Hordak catches her and orders her to get out, she reacts with such nonchalance and lack of fear he has no idea what to do with someone who can't be intimidated.

* At the end of Season 4, when Horde Prime probes Hordak's mind, Horde Prime remarks "There was even a time you wished I would not come for you, is that so?" while touching the opening in Hordak's armor where the crystal used to be. The implication is Hordak wanted to stay on Etheria with Entrapta.
* In "Save the Cat," while looking for the control room on Horde Prime's ship, Entrapta and Bow accidentally find themselves in a clone production room instead. During the fight, Entrapta becomes distracted because she thinks she found Hordak and shows she brought along the LUVD crystal, with the attention of giving it back to him. Entrapta also implies she had a plan to find and save Hordak as well as Glimmer. When the protagonists escape, Entrapta accidentally drops the crystal amidst the chaos. The real Hordak recovers the crystal and keeps it with him for the rest of the season.

* After the series ended, Noelle Stevenson posted [[https://twitter.com/Gingerhazing/status/1263601250022469634 this]] piece of artwork.

** In "Failsafe" when comforting Catra about Shadow Weaver's plan and telling her she needs Catra, Catra says she will help but [[{{Tsundere}} not because she likes her or anything]]. [[EmpathyPet Melog]] looks between the two for a second then {{Glomp}}s Adora and starts licking her, showing what Catra is really feeling. While on Mystacor heading for the Failsafe, Adora accidentally springs a trap and is engulfed in fire (that turns out to be an illusion). Catra, with no hesitation, jumps in and pulls Adora out. After assuring Catra she's okay, Adora makes fun of the fact Catra jumped into fire for her, much to Catra's embarrassment.

* Adora and Catra have a very close relationship that borders on the edge of sisterly and romantic, and their complicated feelings for each other are only made [[FoeYay worse]] after Adora's defection. The love they had for each other [[WordOfSaintPaul has been described]] as unconditional, which as you can see from the below examples is completely true.

* When Scorpia tries to get the courage to ask Catra if she wants to hang out outside of work, it sounds ''way'' more like someone trying to ask their crush out on a date. She spends much of the episode bummed she was unable to do so, as well as jealous she'll never have the bond Adora and Catra share from being childhood friends. When they're interrupted by She-Ra ''et al'', Scorpia even says [[GettingCrapPastTheRadar that wasn't how the night was supposed to go]]. For her part, Catra is briefly in awe from Scorpia's determination to save her at the end of the episode and shares a blanket with her as they head back to the Fright Zone.

* Bow and Glimmer's extremely close relationship throughout the show's run is often more like a ChildhoodFriendRomance. The two of them are nearly always hugging or holding hands.
* Glimmer becomes a ClingyJealousGirl during Princess Prom because Bow went with Perfuma instead of her, and can't focus on the mission at all after Bow gets mad at her.
* In Season 2, Glimmer becomes heartbroken that Bow would keep his family secret from her, treating it as a very deep betrayal.

* After the emotionally and physically draining fight in the Failsafe room, Bow reaches out to touch Glimmer's arm in their sleep.

** In the same episode, the two exchange heartfelt "I love you"s before the final battle, and Bow kisses Glimmer's forehead.
* In "Heart, Part 2", Adora sees a vision of the Best Friends Squad all grown up. Future!Bow and Glimmer are clearly a couple, though it's unclear if this was actually a possible future or just [[ShipperOnDeck Adora's perspective on their relationship]].

** Perfuma even ends up asking Bow to go to the ball with her and he agrees.

** In Season 5 after the Best Friend Squad returns from space, Bow is the one Perfuma is the most happy to see.
* Bow's interest in Sea Hawk walks the razor edge between bromance and romance, which includes blushing when praised by him and getting WingdingEyes when Sea Hawk catches him in his arms. His inner monologue has him squeeing over the praise.

* While Hordak shows respect for Entrapta's skills as early as Season 1, their true relationship begins in Season 2 "Signals", when Entrapta sneaks into his sanctum. This is a scary moment for the audience, who has just seen Catra punished for entering the lab without permission. When Hordak catches her and orders her to get out, she reacts with such nonchalance and lack of fear that he has no idea what to do with someone who can't be intimidated.
* At one point Catra sees Hordak sitting on his throne, head in hand, listening intently to Entrapta as she perches on the armrest and talks tech. The intimacy of the scene clearly surprises Catra. Some fans have pointed out that the angle makes it look like Hordak is resting his elbow on Entrapta's leg.
* The Season 3 episode "Huntara"'s entire B-plot consists of Entrapdak ship moments. The two of them are booting up the portal machine, and Hordak looks at Entrapta instead of the project he's been working on for decades. Then when the portal is about to explode, he pulls her away and [[TuckAndCover shields her with his body]], damaging his already faulty armor.

* [[FlorenceNightingaleEffect Entrapta wraps Hordak in a blanket and makes him soup when he collapses due to degenerative disease]]. She then gives him the WallPinOfLove while demanding he tell her his full backstory. Later, a shower of sparks creates a CrushFilter as she tells him that she thinks imperfections are beautiful.

* In "Coronation", Hordak is so despondent at Entrapta's alleged betrayal that he broods in the wreckage of their portal machine and has her belongings removed from the Fright Zone. He's behaving less like a warlord whose minion betrayed him and more like a jilted boyfriend going through a break-up. He demands nobody even speak Entrapta's name, only to bring her up again and again.
* While investigating some damaged equipment, Hordak asks, "Was this your doing, Entrapta?" Imp repeats Entrapta's name over and over again, causing Hordak to actually ''blush''.
* Hordak requests Entrapta's old recordings under the pretense of using her notes to perfect his battlefield technology, but it's implied that he just wants to hear her voice again.
* When Scorpia is trying to "think like Entrapta", she mentions Hordak as one of things Entrapta is constantly thinking about.
* In Episode 12, Entrapta puts down her mask when Hordak's name is brought up, something she's been known to do when emotionally shielding herself. She later stutters to say his name when she describes her relationship with him as "confusing".

* At the end of Season 4, when Horde Prime probes Hordak's mind, Horde Prime remarks "There was even a time you wished I would not come for you, is that so?" while touching the opening in Hordak's armor where the crystal used to be. The implication is that Hordak wanted to stay on Etheria with Entrapta.
* In Episode 5 of Season 5, while looking for the control room on Horde Prime's ship, Entrapta and Bow accidentally find themselves in a clone production room instead. During the fight, Entrapta becomes distracted because she thinks she found Hordak, and shows that she brought along the LUVD crystal with the attention of giving it back to him. Entrapta also implies that she had a plan to find and save Hordak as well as Glimmer. When the protagonists escape, Entrapta accidentally drops the crystal amidst the chaos. The real Hordak recovers the crystal and keeps it with him for the rest of the season.

* Despite being mind wiped twice, Hordak just cannot forget Entrapta. When the two meet near a Galactic Horde spire, he recognizes her face, to which Entrapta replies that she knew he would remember her. Hordak shows her the LUVD crystal in his hand, and [[HoldingHands she places her hand in his]]. Bewildered by his persistent feelings for Entrapta, Hordak asks, "What have you ''done'' to me?"

* This is an odd one among the other ships because there are many hints in just their first episode that they actually used to date; getting kicked out of a restaurant because Sea Hawk tried to duel someone, and setting their boat on fire in the Tunnel of Love. About the only reason that their interactions count as ShipTease is Mermista [[{{Tsundere}} just refuses to admit that she has any feelings for Sea Hawk beyond barely tolerating his presence]].
* Mermista goes to the prom with Sea Hawk, though she tries to claim that he's just her ride.
* In the Season 1 finale, she also seems to have no issue with him putting his arm around her.
* Sea Hawk breaks character when Scorpia can't recall Mermista's name, only knowing that she was the mermaid princess at the ball. He angrily yells, "She has a name!"
* Sea Hawk gets [[WingdingEyes love heart eyes]] when Mermista is about to start a rock remix of his shanty and when she's kicking butt with the Heart of Etheria power-up, and he holds her while the Heart of Etheria activates.
* When Mermista admits she had once set a boat on fire just to see how it felt, Sea Hawk acts as if she had asked him to marry her, claiming she's everything he ever wanted.

* When Scorpia joins the group in Season 4, Perfuma is ''really'' quick to forgive her, both for the Horde stuff and for stinging her, seems overjoyed at the chance to teach her more about friendship, and gets very angry when Mermista interrupts her. Even though she has to tie Scorpia up with vines, she goes so far as to create a gigantic pink flower on them, and when Scorpia is being imprisoned, Perfuma takes it on herself to not only provide food, but bring extra pillows as well.
* Season 5 Episode 7 is basically one long conga line of Perfuma and Scorpia flirting with each other and Perfuma helping Scorpia open up and be more confident in herself.
* Continued in later episodes, as Perfuma is especially devastated when Scorpia becomes BrainwashedAndCrazy, and is adamant that her simply standing in front of Scorpia will be such a strong reminder of the people she loves that the brainwashing will be cured, and while she was wrong about that, Scorpia still managed to resist Prime's control enough to purposefully miss due to Perfuma's speech, and gazes at a flower that Perfuma left behind before Prime redirects her attention back to him.
* She also seems to be almost jealous of Catra, getting in a petty argument that she is closer to Scorpia then Catra ever was. In fact its not until Catra agrees with Perfuma that the "All Loving Princess" starts to actually treat Catra with kindness.

* A charity livestream confirmed that they do become a couple. A ''very'' [[SickeninglySweethearts domestic couple]], at that.

** In Season 3, a FreezeFrameBonus shows what seems to be the inside of Rogelio's locker. Tacked to the walls are a picture of Kyle with a heart by his face and a drawing of what appears to be their imagined child, captioned "R <3 K"
** The ship is finally confirmed in "Stranded", where Scorpia unintentionally reveals that Kyle told her that he had a crush on Rogelio.

-->'''Light Hope:''' All I have on Mara is this memory and a sensation... warmth. Her memory brings me warmth.

* Shadow Weaver, as usual, has very little respect for personal space when trying to convince Castaspella to help her free Etheria's magic, but this time it's a lot more flirtatious, and even causes Castaspella to blush.

[[folder: Adora and Others]]

[[folder: Catra and Scorpia]]
* Scorpia likes hanging around Catra a lot and really desires to become her best friend, despite Catra being very resistant towards the idea.
* When Catra offers to be Scorpia's plus one for Princess Prom, she blushes as she shows off her dress to Catra.
* When she's alone with Entrapta, she goes on and on about Catra, gushing about their friendship. Entrapta even shows her a recording of Scorpia telling her about their boat trip to show that she's already mentioned it.
* When Scorpia thinks Catra has been captured, she starts freaking out, and acts suspiciously like a ViolentlyProtectiveGirlfriend when they're reunited.
* When Catra relays the information passed on to her via Shadow Weaver, Scorpia assumes that Catra figured it out on her own and outright calls her "beautiful ''and'' brilliant".

* When Scorpia tries to get the courage to ask Catra if she wants to hang out outside of work, it sounds ''way'' more like someone trying to ask their crush out on a date. She spends much of the episode bummed that she was unable to do so, as well as jealous that she'll never have the bond that Adora and Catra share from being childhood friends. When they're interrupted by She-Ra ''et al'', Scorpia even says [[GettingCrapPastTheRadar that wasn't how the night was supposed to go]]. For her part, Catra is briefly in awe from Scorpia's determination to save her at the end of the episode and shares a blanket with her as they head back to the Fright Zone.
* Scorpia tries to break Catra out of her prison cell in the beginning of Season 3, only leaving when Catra threatens to call the guards on her. She even says Catra is "Everything to [her]".
* "Once Upon a Time in the Waste" has Scorpia follow Catra into the Crimson Waste, enthuse about her leadership skills, visibly blush when Catra admits they make a good team, and then cap it off by asking her to stay in the Wastes. The invitation sounds almost like a proposal-- they could stay, and be happy, ''together.''

[[folder: Catra and Others]]
* Entrapta gets along fairly well with Catra at the Prom, and has to be reminded that she's an enemy.
-->'''Catra:''' She stole my food then asked me to help her spy on people, is this what love feels like?

** When learning how Entrapta stole a bunch of tech from other people to build her new lab, Catra smiles and places her head on her shoulder telling the young princess she definitely belongs with "us". Entrapta smiles sheepishly.

* Glimmer apparently sees Catra as a buxom FemmeFatale, something her friends find hilarious. Keep in mind that this is '''after''' Glimmer has met Catra up-close-and-personal and seen her do things like scratching her head with her feet.

** The first two things Catra can muster the will to do after Double Trouble rips her to shreds? Follow Glimmer, and save Glimmer's life when Horde Prime threatens to kill her.
** In the first three episodes of Season 5, Catra and Glimmer start to form a bond when they are the only ones that either can talk to. They sit closely with their backs to one another and just enjoy the company, joking about Adora. Glimmer's friendship with Catra as well as showing some care for the young woman's reckless behavior even spurs Catra to ''finally'' do some good for once.
** In Episode 8 of Season 5, Glimmer gives Catra a big kiss on the cheek after her plan to get through Horde Prime's blockade works, much to the other's chagrin.
* Catra bonds very quickly with Double Trouble, seeing them as a true equal. Throughout Season 4, as she pushes her few remaining friends away Catra become more and more dependent on Double Trouble, both as a skilled operative and as her only remaining friend/as a replacement for her ''other'' friends. When they betray her, and happily at that, Catra is left so stunned and heartbroken she can't even muster the desire to fight Glimmer.

** Despite only having about 2 minutes of screen time the whole episode, we still get plenty of ShipTease in Episode 7. When Catra joins everyone on the bridge, she instantly jumps into Adora's lap, laying bridal carry wise and gives her a few flirtatious wacks with her tail, purring the whole time. And while annoyed Adora lets Catra sit on her lap, even holding her bridal style, and seems surprised/slightly disappointed when she hopes off later on.
** In Episode 8 Catra blushes and smiles as she watches Adora laugh who noticing smiles back with a blush, something Bow and Glimmer notice and give wondering shrugs to one another over. Adora also has a CrushBlush when [[AmazonChaser Catra cuts through a solid metal door with her claws]]. Later we meet Melog, a magical cat creature who develops a PsychicLink with Catra, and can sense Catra's emotions via the link, which ''really'' likes Adora. The episode ends with the team zooming to Etheria screaming in fear of Darla's speed. When it's all over we see that Catra had subconsciously reached out and took Adora's hand.
** Episodes 9 and 10 move most of the focus away from Catra and Adora for other plot points and characters but we get quite a few scenes of them caring for one another, such as Adora worriedly holding Catra when she has a bad reaction to Glimmers teleportation. Episode 10 also has the two reminisce about being back in the Fright Zone, to cheer Adora up Catra challenges her to a race and the two run laughing together through their old home.
** In Episode 11 when comforting Catra about Shadow Weaver plan and telling her she needs Catra, Catra says she will help, but [[{{Tsundere}} not because she likes her or anything]], [[EmpathyPet Melog]] looks between the two for a second then {{Glomp}}s Adora and starts licking her, showing what Catra is really feeling. While on Mystacor heading for the Failsafe, Adora accidentally springs a trap and in engulfed in fire (that turns out to be an illusion), Catra with no hesitation jumps in and pulls Adora out. After assuring Catra that she's okay, she then makes fun of the fact that Catra jumped into fire for her, much to Catra's embarrassment.
*** Sadly things go downhill quickly as Shadow Weaver notices that the two are close again and starts to try and turn them against each other, Adora at least this time stands up to Shadow Weaver, but also reveals she will do anything to save Etheria, something the eavesdropping Catra doesn't like hearing. While in the Failsafe room, worried for Adora, Catra demands to know why Adora is the ''only'' one who can take the failsafe. Shadow weaver reveals anyone who uses it will die, and only She-Ra has a small hope of being able to survive. Catra goes ballistic and begs Adora not to do it. Adora though being Adora of course sees it as just fine. Catra tries to argue but is interrupted by Mind controlled Micah, in the ensuing fight Adora takes the fail safe and transforms into She-Ra to turn the tide. She Goes to Catra to help her out and holds out her hand, for the first time this season Catra refuses and with tears in her eyes runs away. Later Catra watches Adora with Melog nuzzled up against her sleep sadly. Coming to a silent decision Catra starts to leave. Melog still with Adora tries to convince her to stop, unable to, she goes with Catra waking up Adora. Then a parallel scene to when Adora first left the Horde, we see Adora beg Catra to stay but Catra can't bare to watch Adora sacrifice herself anymore, and if Adora was going to do it no matter what then Catra wasn't going to be around and watch her kill herself. As Catra uses Melog to disappear Adora can only cry out Catra's name.
*** Upon returning back to camp, Shadow Weaver meets up with Adora and states how proud she is that Adora chose Etheria over Catra. This sets Adora off, she angrily tells Shadow Weaver that she blames her for all of Catra's problems and because of that she will always hate her. Walking away she promises that whatever may happen she will make sure Shadow Weaver never gets anything she desires.
** In "Heart, Part 1", we see that despite the anger and sadness from last episode Catra and Adora are weighing heavily one each others minds, something Melog easily picks up on and tries to get Catra to go back to Adora. Which leads to this line from Catra:

** Inside Light Hope's temple we see that Adora cannot stop thinking about Catra. The temple still has the ability to show memories and holograms, which for Adora are all about Catra. One even comes very close to Adora and touches her cheek in a romantic way.
** The climax of Season 5, and the whole series, in "Heart, Part 2", is all about Catra ''finally'' admitting that she loves Adora, Adora is stunned and when Catra tries to play it off, admits it back. The two stare is awe at one another that they finally have laid all their feeling bare, they then share a BigDamnKiss!
*** That kiss also allows Adora to overcome Horde Prime's virus, transform into She-Ra, activate the failsafe and save the Universe, and just prior to that when Adora realizes that she will have to try to activate the failsafe without She-Ra, she tells Catra to get as far away from the heart as possible, but Catra absolutely refuses to leave Adora behind to perform a HeroicSacrifice even though sticking around would almost certainly result in both of them dying, luckily the kiss changes that.
* Yes, Netflix went out of their way to make a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xKsrE7VVsGM compilation of Catradora moments in one 16-minute-long video]].

* In Episode 4, Adora, having been unable to sleep due to a combination of always having others around and her bed being too soft (and accidentally destroying it when she tried to flatten it out) ends up in Glimmer's bed.
* In Episode 7 while trying to help Adora relax, Glimmer takes her to a steam room with hot springs, holding her hands as they get into the water. It almost works as they fall asleep with [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/adora_and_glimmer.PNG Glimmer resting on Adora's chest.]] At the end of the episode, Adora startles awake and immediately calls for Glimmer, who strokes her hair soothingly.

* Adora dances with Glimmer at Princess Prom, albeit while Glimmer is busy crying about Bow.

* In Episode 12, Adora sees her friends defending her unconscious body, Bow firing off shots while Glimmer cradles her in her arms. She wakes up and touches Glimmer on the arm.
* In Episode 13, as they're preparing to head into battle, there's a closeup shot as Glimmer takes Adora's hand.

* In "Pulse", immediately after Netossa and Spinnerella wrap up their BodyCountCompetition with a kiss, Glimmer suggests that she and Adora compare kill totals. It comes across a ''lot'' like flirting in context.

* Also in Episode 4, when Perfuma sees She-Ra, she gets a little mesmerized; even showing Adora giving a twinkle-filled grin towards her. Even has the LoveBubbles going around her. She even gets slightly tongue-tied when trying to tell her people the good news and is staring at her a lot and even cries TearsOfJoy at one point.

* During "Roll With It", Mermista makes up a fantasy where she becomes "Sea-Ra". At first it seems like a simple case of GreenEyedMonster, but then she comments that She-Ra's hair is "Messy, but sort of beautiful".

* Adora and Catra have a very close relationship that borders on the edge of sisterly and romantic, their complicated feelings for each other are only made [[FoeYay worse]] after Adora's defection. The love they had for each other [[WordOfSaintPaul has been described]] as unconditional, which as you can see from the below is completely true.

* In Episode 1, she sleeps at the foot of ''Adora's'' bunk rather than on her own. Yes, she's half-cat, but still. When Adora defects, she acts like it was a personal betrayal as opposed to the entire army.

* In Episode 4, Catra has a picture of Adora as She-Ra on Swift Wind on her locker, and keeps her secret even when Shadow Weaver is threatening her.
* In Episode 8, Adora and Catra dance together at the Princess Prom, with little to no personal space. Catra even dips Adora, while the background seems to be [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bisexual_lighting a bisexual flag]]. Later, Adora saves Catra from falling off a cliff during their fight, grabbing her by the waist even when Catra's hand was much closer, which ends with both of them staring each other in the eyes mere inches from one another.

* All of Episode 11, which details Adora and Catra growing up. Even at the end when it seems Catra has fully fallen to the dark side, there is one last scene of her showing regret for her actions.
** When Catra claims that she's not happy to see Adora, her tail can be seen gently wrapping around her wrist before it moves away.

* While Season 2 keeps the two from facing off much, it's very clear that they weigh heavy on each other's minds. Scorpia even lampshades how close they are despite the side difference.
* When Adora is infected with the First Ones tech virus Entrapta created for the second time and falls unconscious in "White Out", Catra uses She-Ra's sword to [[https://66.media.tumblr.com/fc3112aeecf7d4ab9860eaa89965039f/68f292fe3d11acbc-35/s500x750/1c718d2ece98922956e0c425a653bb546f87a896.png lift Adora's chin]] and says "Looks like you are mine now, Adora."

* During their breaking speech to Catra, Double Trouble notes how obsessed with Adora Catra is. When turning into Adora they act a lot more flirty and affectionate just to break Catra even more. Not only that, but while Catra makes sounds of distress throughout the whole speech, she outright ''sobs'' when DT turns into Adora.
* So, let's talk about [[https://static2.cbrimages.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/She-Ra-Season-5.jpg the official poster released for the fifth and final season]]. Not only are Adora and Catra at the centre of the image, but behind them there are a few letters in the First Ones' language that are bent to resemble a heart. Which, also, is literally what the word means. '''Heart'''.

* '''SEASON 5''' decided this was gonna happen and ''ran'' with it full sprint never stopping until the end.
** In Episode 1 Horde Prime is able to easily tell that from her reactions that Adora is important to Catra, when Catra tries to deny it, he laughs it off as a childish lie.
** In Episode 3, despite repeatedly denying it, Catra eventually shows that Adora does in fact mean a lot to her. Realizing that as long as Glimmer is on Horde Prime's ship Adora will come no matter what, Catra frees Glimmer from her cell and the two fight their way to a teleportation machine. In a HeroicSacrifice Catra is able to send Glimmer away and give Adora one last message, tearfully she says how sorry she is for everything, while begging her to stay away.
*** During the rescue scene Glimmer asks Catra whats gonna happen to her for doing this. Catra says it doesn't matter because no one in the universe cares about her cue a cut to Adora indicting there is in fact one person.
** In the next episode when hearing that Catra had sacrificed herself for Adora, several different emotions flash across her face, anger, confusion, shock, concern, and sadness. Later in the episode Adora tries to explain her relationship with Catra to the Star Siblings but can't really get the words out so settles for "Its complicated". The episode ends with Adora deciding to go rescue Catra because she just can't leave her.
** In Episode 5 Adora runs headlong into a trap she knows is waiting for her in order to rescue Catra from Horde Prime. Sadly she didn't know how twisted a person Prime is and learns too late that Catra has been [[BrainwashedAndCrazy brainwashed]] to serve Prime. Using the knowledge he has gained from reading Catra's mind Horde Prime sets the two against each other, all while revealing Catra's inner demons just to torment Adora, including the tidbit that Adora broke her heart. The whole time during the fight Adora begs Catra to fight the brainwashing while also promising to save her no matter what. With no will of her own, Catra taunts Adora by trying kill herself. At one point the brain washing chip is damaged and Catra starts to come back in flashes begging Adora to leave her, which Adora refuses. At a stalemate Horde Prime again demands Adora hand over She-Ra, when Adora refuses Horde Prime decides Catra is no longer needed and makes her throw herself into the Abyss. Screaming Catra's name Adora jumps in after her. Weak from the fall Adora crawls over to a barely breathing Catra and hugs her close. Once again Prime demands She-Ra. Hugging Catra close and promising to save her, Adora suddenly starts glowing, her love for Catra allowing her to unlock She-Ra from inside herself. After escaping Catra is still on death's door, using the last of her She-Ra energy Adora heals Catra, who gives a happy and loving "Hey, Adora" before the two tearfully hug each other as the episode ends with Catra and Adora finally reunited.
** It's worth noting that Adora's new She-Ra form has a crown similar in design to Catra's old mask... Was that a subconscious choice on Adora's part?
** Episode 6 starts with a giddy Adora declaring she just checked on Catra... then wants to go back and check again. Apparently she had been doing that all day. Though sadly Adora's happiness is short lived as an awake Catra quickly returns to her closed off and angry self, she wants to be left alone and demands to be dropped of at the nearest planet. This ends up with Adora and Catra arguing again, in the heat of it Catra says she knows everyone hates her, and Adora yells back that she ''never'' hated Catra. Catra can only respond sadly that if that's true Adora is an even bigger idiot than she thought. Later in the episode, it's found out that the control chip on Catra still works enough to be a tracker, it takes some major convincing but Catra eventually agrees to let Entrapta take out the chip... but only if Adora stays with her, she asks while holding Adora's hand causing Adora to blush. Later when Adora transforms into her new She-ra form Catra watches in awe with a slight blush.

* Hordak goes into full blown {{Adorkable}} mode when thanking her, with Imp trying to get him to give a better compliment. He's at a loss for words when she smiles and says she enjoys being his friend.

* When Double Trouble mimics Entrapta's hair in front of Hordak, his facial expression looks like a blend of bewilderment, desire, and alarm, before shifting to one of anger. When Hordak learns from Double Trouble that Catra sent Entrapta to Beast Island, tears well up in his eyes, and he immediately goes after Catra with his laser cannon.

** The [[https://vimeo.com/421288080 original script/storyboard for this scene]], which was changed for pacing, features Entrapta cupping Hordak's face and the two of them holding hands, which makes him smile.

*** Upon returning back to camp, Shadow Weaver meets up with Adora and states how proud she is that Adora chose Etheria over Catra. This sets Adora off, she angrily tells Shadow Weaver that she blames her for all of Catra's problems and because of that she will always hate her. Walking away she promises that what ever may happen she will make sure Shadow Weaver never gets anything she desires.

* Catra bonds very quickly with Double Trouble, seeing them as a true equal. Throughout Season 4, as she pushes her few remaining friends away Catra become more and more dependent on Double Trouble, both as a skilled operative and as her only remaining friend/as a replacment for her ''other'' friends. When they betray her, and happily at that, Catra is left so stunned and heartbroken she can't even muster the desire to fight Glimmer.

* After manipulating Entrapta into a FaceHeelTurn, Catra gets several shippy moments with her, like when she's stroking the former's PrehensileHair, which mirrors her lack of personal space around Adora.

* Mermista goes to the prom with Sea Hawk, though she tries to claim that he's just her ride. In the final episode, she also seems to have no issue with him putting his arm around her.

* A charity livestream confirmed that they do become a couple. A ''very'' [[SickeninglySweethearts domestic couple]], at that,
