We're gonna win in the end!
- Catra saves a child from a burning building during the attack on Thaymor, showing her first potential for being a hero.
- The new Best Friends Squad all work together to fight off Shadow Weaver at Mystacor.
- Adora's scheme at the Princess Prom puts even Catra's from canon to shame, a Paranoia Gambit involving a snow globe that to Catra's advanced hearing seems to be a bomb, letting her quick temper do all the work in making her look like the villain to Frosta.
- In the Battle of Bright Moon, Catra can barely stand after a massive beating from Adora, but is still able to gasp out a request to let Glimmer and Bow live, even at the cost of her own life. This selflessness allows her to finally unlock the full power of She-Ra.
- When faced with an even more powerful version of EKS that can immediately adapt to any attack thrown at it, Catra and Frosta figure out how to beat it by staging a fight between themselves, so the bot doesn't detect anything they do as attacks against it even when it keeps getting hit by Deadly Dodging until Entrapta is forced to self-destruct it. This ends up with Catra actually getting to say "Hey, Adora" after she outsmarted the smartest princess.
- Catra and Huntara's Thunderdome duel, with two equally amazing fighters who both think nothing of going dirty. It culminates in Catra grabbing the sword with her tail to transform.
- Catra's final showdown with Aroda, whose Reality Warper powers force her to use every bit of skill she's developed, and ultimately decide to push her newfound selflessness even further by being willing to be trapped forever between dimensions, once again unlocking the full power of She-Ra while Aroda herself gets stuck there.
