1. Serenia portal Mara.
Copy !req
2. Maybe Mara's last name is Serenia,
Copy !req
3. or the portal is a Serenia?
Copy !req
4. I'll be honest with you, future Bow,
I'm getting nowhere.
Copy !req
5. No. Was that today?
Copy !req
6. This can't be happening, not now.
Copy !req
7. No, no, no.
Copy !req
8. - Adora, get up.
Copy !req
9. - What's going on? What is it?
- It's Bow. He's in trouble.
Copy !req
10. Bow's tracker pad and arrows are gone.
Copy !req
11. He must have left after he shot
that note through my window.
Copy !req
12. The note that says,
"I'm fine. Don't follow me"?
Copy !req
13. He's not fine. We have to follow him.
Copy !req
14. If he was,
he would've told us he was leaving.
Copy !req
15. After finding out the signal
is about Mara—
Copy !req
16. Okay, okay, Glimmer, just calm down.
I agree, okay?
Copy !req
17. So, where does Bow go
when he's not at Bright Moon?
Copy !req
18. Uh...
Copy !req
19. Seriously? How long have you been friends?
Copy !req
20. Look, Bow really values his privacy.
Copy !req
21. He's never talked about his past
or where he came from. Never.
Copy !req
22. And you know how talkative
and open Bow is.
Copy !req
23. Something's wrong.
What if he's in trouble?
Copy !req
24. Bow definitely came this way,
judging from the broken twigs, the sap
Copy !req
25. and his distinct footprints.
Copy !req
26. There's no way Bow
would ever leave his trick arrows behind.
Copy !req
27. I told you, he's in trouble.
Copy !req
28. What is that place?
Copy !req
29. We have to find Bow,
and get him out of this, uh...
Copy !req
30. library?
Copy !req
31. Have you ever heard of a library
in the Whispering Woods?
Copy !req
32. - Bow, I'm so glad we found you.
- We're here to break you out,
Copy !req
33. or fight your kidnappers.
We're not sure what we're— Uh...
Copy !req
34. What have they done to you?
Copy !req
35. - We got your arrows. Who are we fighting?
- No one. You shouldn't be here.
Copy !req
36. You need to leave now, before—
Copy !req
37. Who's there?
Who are these people?
Copy !req
38. Play along. This is Adora and Glimmer,
my friends from the academy.
Copy !req
39. Adora, Glimmer, meet my dads.
Copy !req
40. Adora, Glimmer.
Copy !req
41. Oh, we're so happy to finally meet
Bow's school friends.
Copy !req
42. I need you to beef up security.
Copy !req
43. Bring all reports directly to me.
No one else.
Copy !req
44. I want patrols doubled. Above all—
Copy !req
45. Uh...
Copy !req
46. You were saying?
Copy !req
47. Yes, and report anything suspicious
directly to me.
Copy !req
48. You mean like the fact
that Shadow Weaver's cell is empty?
Copy !req
49. I threw the prisoner
into solitary last night.
Copy !req
50. Not that I need to explain myself
to underlings.
Copy !req
51. - Catra, Lonnie was trying to answer your—
- You have your orders.
Copy !req
52. Next person who questions me gets to see
Shadow Weaver's cell up close. Move.
Copy !req
53. I said, move.
Copy !req
54. Catra—
Copy !req
55. You want anything,
you just tell me, and I'll get it.
Copy !req
56. Snacks? I'll get you snacks.
Copy !req
57. Yes, so energetic. Heh.
Copy !req
58. You girls must love attending the Academy
of Historic Enterprises with Bow.
Copy !req
59. Yes. Absolutely.
Yup. Wouldn't change a thing.
Copy !req
60. At the academy, that we all go to.
Copy !req
61. Oh, I bet you're here to see
our collection of First Ones artifacts.
Copy !req
62. We got some new pottery shards. I—
Copy !req
63. - Oh, what was I doing?
- Snacks.
Copy !req
64. Oh, yes, yes, yes. Snacks.
Copy !req
65. The pottery is something.
Bow's older brother sent it.
Copy !req
66. - Brother?
- Oh, Bow has an older brother? How nice.
Copy !req
67. Youngest of 13,
all historians just like us.
Copy !req
68. And just like Bow when he graduates
and takes over the library.
Copy !req
69. Right, Bow?
Copy !req
70. Don't bother, Lance.
It looks like he's not very cha-tea today.
Copy !req
71. Okay, thanks for the tea and the snacks,
but I think my friends would really like—
Copy !req
72. A tour of the library.
Copy !req
73. Of course, our Bow would find people
who share his zest for history.
Copy !req
74. Wait till we show you
the oldest part of our collection.
Copy !req
75. A shard from an ancient,
defunct rune stone.
Copy !req
76. If it wasn't of historical value,
that would be gone.
Copy !req
77. No need to keep a reminder
of the Princesses and their war.
Copy !req
78. Uh... But the Horde started the war.
Copy !req
79. The Princesses are fighting
to save Etheria.
Copy !req
80. You're too young to remember the first
failed Princess Alliance. I'm not.
Copy !req
81. I enlisted,
fought for what I thought was right.
Copy !req
82. - Dad, can we not—?
- When I came home,
Copy !req
83. there was nothing left
of my village but ash.
Copy !req
84. I vowed that my family
would never get mixed up in fighting
Copy !req
85. or the Princesses again.
Copy !req
86. Well, I know what will lighten the mood,
baby pictures.
Copy !req
87. I've got some great ones
from Bow's first bubble bath.
Copy !req
88. I'm gonna show Adora and Glimmer
my room now.
Copy !req
89. - I wanna see the bubble baths.
- Now.
Copy !req
90. Bow, what is going on?
Copy !req
91. My dads don't know
I'm a Rebellion fighter.
Copy !req
92. They think I'm at boarding school.
I'm supposed to be on break.
Copy !req
93. So, this is why you never talked
about your past?
Copy !req
94. I thought it was because
it was dark and painful,
Copy !req
95. but your dads seem so nice and normal.
Copy !req
96. Look, I love my dads, okay?
Copy !req
97. I never mentioned them,
Copy !req
98. because they decided when I was a kid
that I was gonna stay home,
Copy !req
99. take over the library when they retire.
But I wanted to travel, to fight.
Copy !req
100. So, I did the only thing I could.
Copy !req
101. I taught myself archery, ran away,
Copy !req
102. and pretended I was
at a made-up boarding school.
Copy !req
103. That seems really elaborate, Bow.
Copy !req
104. You saw what they're like.
They don't listen.
Copy !req
105. They assume they know what I want.
Copy !req
106. And if Lance knew
I didn't want to be a historian...
Copy !req
107. Worse, if George knew
that I'm a Rebellion soldier
Copy !req
108. fighting alongside Princesses,
it'd kill them.
Copy !req
109. - So, you're gonna lie to them forever?
- Not forever.
Copy !req
110. Just for the foreseeable future.
Copy !req
111. It's worked so far. Please.
Copy !req
112. For me?
Copy !req
113. Besides, my dads have
the biggest collection
Copy !req
114. of First Ones artifacts
and writings in Etheria.
Copy !req
115. This is the perfect place to look
for answers about She-Ra,
Copy !req
116. the Mara message, Serenia, everything.
Copy !req
117. Sure, why not.
Copy !req
118. We can be scholars.
Copy !req
119. How hard can it be?
Copy !req
120. This is gonna be a disaster.
Copy !req
121. Well, maybe with that attitude it will be.
Copy !req
122. By the way, I may have said in my letters
that Glimmer is a physics major,
Copy !req
123. Adora's an art major, nobody is a Princess
or has magical powers,
Copy !req
124. and we all met freshmen year.
Okay? Let's go.
Copy !req
125. Hey, Catra.
Copy !req
126. Listen, I've been looking
for anything suspicious like you said,
Copy !req
127. but this is the Fright Zone, so,
that's pretty much everything.
Copy !req
128. I was hoping you could tell me
what I'm supposed to be looking for?
Copy !req
129. If you spent more time following orders
and less time questioning them,
Copy !req
130. you wouldn't need me to. Now get out. Go.
Copy !req
131. Okay, wildcat.
I really didn't wanna have to do this,
Copy !req
132. - but you leave me no choice.
- What are you doing?
Copy !req
133. Just let all your cares go.
Copy !req
134. - You're safe. You're safe here.
- Stop it. Stop.
Copy !req
135. - You're safe here, okay?
- Let go of me. Are you crazy?
Copy !req
136. - There's nothing we can't handle.
- I lost Shadow Weaver.
Copy !req
137. - How are we supposed to handle that?
- What?
Copy !req
138. Shadow Weaver escaped.
Copy !req
139. I have to find her
before Hordak learns the truth.
Copy !req
140. Well, you don't have to do this alone.
I'm here.
Copy !req
141. - I bet Entrapta can whip up a locator.
- No.
Copy !req
142. Entrapta spends time with Hordak
and is bad with secrets.
Copy !req
143. The minute we tell Entrapta,
she tells him, then it's over for me.
Copy !req
144. Then we make sure that doesn't happen.
Copy !req
145. We'll find Shadow Weaver, the two of us,
and not a word of it will leave this room.
Copy !req
146. This is the 1000-year-old Colonia pitcher.
Copy !req
147. And this tablet dates back
over two millennia.
Copy !req
148. And this is where Bow played pretend
as a little boy.
Copy !req
149. - Let me guess, playing pirates?
- Oh, no. Bow doesn't like pirates.
Copy !req
150. Playing historian, getting ready
to take over the library even then.
Copy !req
151. - Right, Bow?
- Right.
Copy !req
152. Mr. Bow's Dad, sir,
as First Ones historians,
Copy !req
153. do you know anything
about the lore of She-Ra?
Copy !req
154. Ah... Great question.
Copy !req
155. Accurate translations are hard to come by,
Copy !req
156. but we think the name
was actually, Her-Ra.
Copy !req
157. - Well, that's not right.
- But you don't know that for sure, Adora.
Copy !req
158. She'd fight for the power of Grayskull.
Copy !req
159. - It's "For the Honor of Grayskull."
- And rode on a dragon.
Copy !req
160. Wait, she got a dragon? I wish I had a—
Copy !req
161. Anyway, uh, where was I?
Copy !req
162. Princess nonsense.
Copy !req
163. The rune stone shard.
Copy !req
164. It's the oldest First Ones object
in our collection.
Copy !req
165. But enough about us.
Copy !req
166. Tell us about your studies,
Adora and Glimmer.
Copy !req
167. Uh, you know, the physics are good.
Copy !req
168. The history is also good.
Copy !req
169. Uh... I thought you were an art major?
Copy !req
170. - Uh, she's a double major.
- Uh, yes.
Copy !req
171. History, art, art history, that's three.
I'm a triple major.
Copy !req
172. I also teach,
unless that's not a thing students do.
Copy !req
173. - Is it hot here? I mean...
- It's great to finally meet you, Glimmer.
Copy !req
174. - We thought Bow was making you up.
- Really?
Copy !req
175. You know how Bow is, shy, quiet,
not so many friends.
Copy !req
176. From his letters, it sounds like
you brought him out of his shell.
Copy !req
177. Yeah. I guess I did.
Copy !req
178. So, for school, heh,
we got this First Ones puzzle to solve.
Copy !req
179. The last word is giving us trouble.
Copy !req
180. - Have you ever heard of Serenia?
- Ooh!
Copy !req
181. Serenia was the name
of a mythical First Ones hero.
Copy !req
182. Although some of us think
she was a real person.
Copy !req
183. Mm-hm.
Copy !req
184. Some of us also think the Elberon vase
dates back only one millennia.
Copy !req
185. - Is this everything you have on Serenia?
- Oh, no. I'm so sorry. Ha, ha.
Copy !req
186. Everything from the first floor.
There's more on the second.
Copy !req
187. - This is gonna take hours.
- Hours, days, maybe weeks.
Copy !req
188. And if you're really lucky,
it might take you a whole lifetime.
Copy !req
189. Oh. You're so corny.
Copy !req
190. Well, this one's just about aqueducts,
so, it's mislabeled.
Copy !req
191. - Wait, you can read First Ones writing?
- Uh, I also study linguistics.
Copy !req
192. It's a fifth major or fourth major.
I'm losing count.
Copy !req
193. - What does this say?
- Uh, it says, "lunch."
Copy !req
194. - Oh, no. I thought it said love.
- You thought it said...?
Copy !req
195. I like this girl!
Copy !req
196. Actually, there's one more debate
you can settle for us, Adora.
Copy !req
197. I don't know. Maybe I should help
with the, uh, school project.
Copy !req
198. But I guess it couldn't hurt.
Copy !req
199. Great. Onward, best research squad.
Copy !req
200. We're still getting nowhere.
Copy !req
201. What does a mythological First Ones hero
have to do with Mara?
Copy !req
202. Hey, Glimmer, what's up?
Copy !req
203. What's up with you?
Copy !req
204. You have a secret family,
and you're supposed to be a historian,
Copy !req
205. and you apparently hate pirates,
and you never told me about any of this.
Copy !req
206. I feel like I don't know you at all.
Copy !req
207. Glimmer, you know everything about me,
the real me.
Copy !req
208. I act like someone I'm not with my family
because the truth would hurt them.
Copy !req
209. And it's making you miserable.
Copy !req
210. Bow, your dads love you.
I'm sure they'll love the real you, too.
Copy !req
211. You don't know that.
They've had a plan since I was a baby.
Copy !req
212. But the truth is,
I'm nothing like the rest of my family.
Copy !req
213. I've tried to tell them,
but they don't want to hear it.
Copy !req
214. So, I pretend.
Copy !req
215. This was found in the
same dig site as the rune stone shard.
Copy !req
216. Thing is, we can't agree on what it is.
Copy !req
217. So, what's it say?
Copy !req
218. Oh, this one's easy.
Copy !req
219. This is a password to open it.
Copy !req
220. - It says, "Eternia."
Copy !req
221. Ooh, ooh. It's working! It's—
Copy !req
222. - It's— It's...
- A monster.
Copy !req
223. It's an Elemental.
This'll be a piece of cake.
Copy !req
224. Adora, wait.
Copy !req
225. For the Honor of Grayskull!
Copy !req
226. Adora is a sixth major in She-Ra?
Copy !req
227. Don't worry, I got this. Ha, ha.
Copy !req
228. Hey, leave her alone.
Copy !req
229. Hold on, Glimmer. I'm coming.
Copy !req
230. They really get into
their studies.
Copy !req
231. Bow, are your friends Princesses?
Copy !req
232. You'll tell us what is happening,
young man, or—
Copy !req
233. We have to act before the Elemental
turns on us.
Copy !req
234. - You know what that is?
- We've run into them before.
Copy !req
235. They only attack when they're trying
to protect something.
Copy !req
236. - What is it trying to protect?
- You've run into them? Who are you?
Copy !req
237. It was found alongside the shard.
Could it be that?
Copy !req
238. Dad, you're a genius.
Copy !req
239. I'll explain everything,
but right now you have to trust me.
Copy !req
240. Bow? Bow!
Copy !req
241. Bow, you get back here.
Copy !req
242. Never mind. Stay away!
Copy !req
243. - Glimmer.
- Got it.
Copy !req
244. It's been really nice meeting you.
Copy !req
245. Can't reach.
Copy !req
246. Bow!
Copy !req
247. Got it.
Copy !req
248. Huh?
Copy !req
249. Whoa!
Copy !req
250. Bow.
Copy !req
251. Huh?
Copy !req
252. That's my Bow.
Copy !req
253. - What is going on?
Copy !req
254. I... I lied to you.
Copy !req
255. There is no Academy
of Historic Enterprises.
Copy !req
256. I've been living at Bright Moon,
fighting in the Rebellion
Copy !req
257. alongside Adora and Princess Glimmer.
Copy !req
258. But why?
Copy !req
259. I don't wanna be a historian.
Copy !req
260. I've never wanted to be a historian.
Copy !req
261. I'm not a shy bookworm.
I'm not a genius like you two.
Copy !req
262. I make things. I'm a soldier.
Copy !req
263. This is who I am.
And I can't lie about it anymore,
Copy !req
264. even though I'm breaking your hearts.
Copy !req
265. What's breaking our hearts is the fact
that you thought you had to lie
Copy !req
266. - about who you are.
- You're not mad?
Copy !req
267. But I'm a fighter, and you hate fighters.
Copy !req
268. I could never hate you. Never.
Copy !req
269. If you feel like you belong
in the Rebellion,
Copy !req
270. that's where you belong.
Copy !req
271. Oh, Bow, why didn't you just tell us?
Copy !req
272. I tried, but you didn't listen.
Copy !req
273. You only listened to me
if I said what you wanted to hear.
Copy !req
274. We had no idea you felt that way.
Copy !req
275. We were just trying to encourage you
to pursue your dreams.
Copy !req
276. We thought we were being supportive
when really we were being terrible.
Copy !req
277. We love you the way you are.
We're proud of you,
Copy !req
278. no matter what path you take in life.
Copy !req
279. This is a family hug, Princesses.
You're Bow's family, too.
Copy !req
280. On our mission, we received
a message from an unknown source.
Copy !req
281. If we knew what Serenia meant,
we could figure out the rest.
"Serenia portal Mara." Okay.
But what are these other words?
Copy !req
282. I don't know. It's too degraded to read.
Copy !req
283. Wait. Lance,
what does this pattern look like?
Copy !req
284. - Oh, I think you're right.
- What is it?
Copy !req
285. Look at it, Bow. Really look at it.
What do you see?
Copy !req
286. - These aren't words at all, are they?
- Oh, now you've got it.
Copy !req
287. George, get the projector.
Copy !req
288. The world of the First Ones was
different from ours. Climate, language,
Copy !req
289. even the sky was different,
Copy !req
290. filled with cosmic formations
they called...
Copy !req
291. Stars.
Copy !req
292. The First Ones used them
to navigate and named constellations
Copy !req
293. after mythical heroes, including Serenia.
Copy !req
294. The Constellation Serenia
would only appear in summer
Copy !req
295. and only over one place.
Copy !req
296. - The Crimson Waste.
- That's where we have to go.
Copy !req
297. What? You can't
go into the Crimson Waste.
Copy !req
298. It's a no-man's-land,
a giant lifeless desert.
Copy !req
299. No one's ever made it that far
and come back alive.
Copy !req
300. Promise me, you kids will stay away.
Copy !req
301. - You wanted to speak with me, Lord Hordak?
- Yes, Force Captain.
Copy !req
302. I wished to touch base, as you put it.
Copy !req
303. - See how my orders are being carried out.
- Everything is running smoothly.
Copy !req
304. Does this mean Shadow Weaver
has been transferred to Beast Island,
Copy !req
305. per my orders?
Copy !req
306. Yes. I sent her yesterday,
just like you ordered.
Copy !req
307. Believe me, we're never going to see—
Copy !req
308. I lost Shadow Weaver!
Copy !req
309. Shadow Weaver escaped.
Copy !req
310. I have to find her
before Hordak learns the truth.
Copy !req
311. I have to find her
before Hordak learns the truth.
Copy !req
312. You lied to me.
Copy !req
313. Wait.
Copy !req
314. I know your lax security
allowed Shadow Weaver to escape.
Copy !req
315. I know you've been covering it up,
lying about her whereabouts.
Copy !req
316. But worst of all,
I gave you the chance to come clean,
Copy !req
317. to prove your worth to me, to the Horde.
Copy !req
318. This was a test.
Copy !req
