1. I called you here
to discuss what happened today.
Copy !req
2. The mission to retake Dryl
was a complete disaster.
Copy !req
3. We barely made it out.
Copy !req
4. I wanna know why.
Copy !req
5. The Horde knew we were coming.
They were ready.
Copy !req
6. How do they keep doing this?
Copy !req
7. We thought they were tracking Adora,
but she wasn't even there today.
Copy !req
8. Isn't it obvious? There's a Horde spy
somewhere in Bright Moon.
Copy !req
9. And no one is going anywhere
until we figure out who it is.
Copy !req
10. Mermista, it's very unlikely
that there's a spy—
Copy !req
11. We need to investigate.
Copy !req
12. I'll be the lead detective
Copy !req
13. since I've read
every single Mer-Mystery book.
Copy !req
14. Mer-what?
Copy !req
15. Mer-Mystery. It's only the best
undersea mystery novel series ever.
Copy !req
16. There's 18 of them. It taught me
everything about solving mysteries.
Copy !req
17. Murder mysteries.
Copy !req
18. Um... But no one's been murdered.
Copy !req
19. - Yet.
Copy !req
20. First, we need to question the suspects.
Copy !req
21. Who are the suspects?
Copy !req
22. Everyone is a suspect.
Copy !req
23. Everyone? Is anyone else sweating?
Copy !req
24. I'm sweating.
Copy !req
25. This is a waste of time.
Copy !req
26. We know that the Horde is pulling
their troops back for something big.
Copy !req
27. - That's what we should be investigating.
No, Mermista's right.
Copy !req
28. And it can't be me the Horde's tracking
Copy !req
29. since, once again, you used me
as a distraction today.
Copy !req
30. A spy is really the only thing
that makes sense.
Copy !req
31. Maybe they didn't fall for the distraction
because you're a bad actress.
Copy !req
32. And who would the spy even be, anyway?
Copy !req
33. Heh. How about the Horde officer
who's living at—
Copy !req
34. I'm sorry, being held prisoner
at Bright Moon?
Copy !req
35. Shadow Weaver has actual shadow spies.
We met them.
Copy !req
36. Shadow Weaver does seem
like the obvious suspect.
Copy !req
37. Which means it definitely isn't her.
Copy !req
38. It's never the obvious one.
Copy !req
39. Like in Mer-Mystery:
The Pearl Who Knew Too Much.
Copy !req
40. You think it's the pearl, but it's not.
Copy !req
41. Spoilers.
Copy !req
42. It's time to interrogate the castle.
Copy !req
43. How are you doing that?
Copy !req
44. I practice at home.
Copy !req
45. Move. Now. We don't have all night, Kyle.
Copy !req
46. Meow. You all right there, kitten?
Copy !req
47. About time you checked in.
Copy !req
48. Are the Princesses
still moping around about Dryl?
Copy !req
49. No.
Copy !req
50. Watching them mope was my favorite.
Copy !req
51. Now they're playing detective,
Copy !req
52. searching for the elusive Horde spy
who foiled their plans.
Copy !req
53. Wait. Spy? Is your cover blown?
Copy !req
54. Please. Who would suspect
a goody-two-shoes like Flutterina?
Copy !req
55. Besides, if they get suspicious,
I'll do a quick wardrobe change
Copy !req
56. and throw the blame onto someone else.
Copy !req
57. They better not. Keep them in Bright Moon.
Copy !req
58. If they catch on
before the plan is complete,
Copy !req
59. before our big mission is done, I—
Copy !req
60. Darling, darling, don't worry.
Copy !req
61. I'll just tire them out a bit.
Copy !req
62. Where were you when the murders happened?
Copy !req
63. - The what?
Copy !req
64. Don't think you can get away with it.
Copy !req
65. Although there still
aren't any murders, Mermista.
Copy !req
66. - Yet.
Copy !req
67. I sincerely do not have time for this.
Copy !req
68. According to a bunch of other people...
Copy !req
69. Witnesses.
Copy !req
70. you weren't where you were supposed to be
at the battle for Dryl.
Copy !req
71. I followed the plan exactly.
Copy !req
72. A likely—
Copy !req
73. Sorry, a likely story.
Copy !req
74. Admit it. You were slipping away
to warn the Horde of our plan.
Copy !req
75. Just like in Mer-Mystery:
Secret of the Abalone.
Copy !req
76. That one's really good.
You should read it.
Copy !req
77. Look, this is what happened.
Copy !req
78. On approach to Dryl, Glimmer filled me in.
She-Ra would lure away the Horde.
Copy !req
79. Team A, Frosta, Bow, and Flutterina,
would scout ahead.
Copy !req
80. Team B, Sea Hawk and Mermista,
would guard the exits.
Copy !req
81. Team A indicated the coast was clear,
and we converged on their signal.
Copy !req
82. - That's when Frosta ran into us and said:
- We haven't finished scouting.
Copy !req
83. Oh, my.
Copy !req
84. Team A sent the all-clear.
Copy !req
85. If you wanna know
what went wrong, ask Bow.
Copy !req
86. Okay, I confess, it was me.
Copy !req
87. We're not even interrogating you.
Copy !req
88. I mean, if I am the spy, it's an accident.
I think. Can you be an accidental spy?
Copy !req
89. Do I have an evil alter-ego?
Copy !req
90. Or was I brainwashed
and I'm just realizing it now?
Copy !req
91. So, like, are you guys
still questioning me or...?
Copy !req
92. It all goes back to what happened in Dryl.
Copy !req
93. Everyone was in position,
Copy !req
94. and I was using my new tech
to look for remaining Horde soldiers.
Copy !req
95. But then, my goggles glitched,
and I don't know what happened.
Copy !req
96. I started to see double.
Copy !req
97. That's when the other team
came in way too early.
Copy !req
98. I tried to signal everyone to fall back,
but my tracker pad was missing.
Copy !req
99. Whoa.
Copy !req
100. Don't you see what this means?
Copy !req
101. Either I lost my tracker pad at Dryl,
Copy !req
102. and that gave the Horde vital information,
Copy !req
103. or I did it on purpose
because I am the spy,
Copy !req
104. and I gave the signal
and I didn't even know.
Copy !req
105. You're blowing my mind.
Copy !req
106. Bow! You aren't the spy.
Copy !req
107. You don't know that.
Copy !req
108. It all makes sense.
Copy !req
109. Who else could it be?
Copy !req
110. So you're telling us
Copy !req
111. you really didn't know
about the plan to retake Dryl?
Copy !req
112. - Really?
- Not a bit.
Copy !req
113. I've been busy with my garden.
Copy !req
114. She's always been paranoid
like this, you know.
Copy !req
115. I am not being paranoid.
Copy !req
116. You were spotted around the castle
without your guards this morning,
Copy !req
117. and I wanna know why.
Copy !req
118. Actually, Adora, that's—
Copy !req
119. I was engaging in a ritual.
Copy !req
120. Essence of echinacea.
Copy !req
121. A dash of ginger root.
Copy !req
122. Ah. My daily morning ritual.
Copy !req
123. Okay, you expect us to believe
you were just having tea?
Copy !req
124. She's the spy. You're the spy.
Who else could it be?
Copy !req
125. I am not the villain of this story.
Copy !req
126. As to your question,
Copy !req
127. Glimmer saw fit to grant me
free rein of the castle.
Copy !req
128. My guards have been dismissed.
Copy !req
129. No guards, seriously?
Copy !req
130. Yes, seriously.
Copy !req
131. - What has she done other than help us?
- Do you really want me to answer that?
Copy !req
132. Girls, every moment you waste here,
the Horde gets that much further ahead.
Copy !req
133. In order to catch a rat,
you need to spring a trap.
Copy !req
134. Well, in order to catch the spy,
we need you to admit that you're the spy.
Copy !req
135. Let it go, Adora.
There's lots of other people it could be.
Copy !req
136. Like who?
Copy !req
137. Ah.
Copy !req
138. I love recounting
the epic tales of my exploits.
Copy !req
139. My heroic exploits.
Copy !req
140. It definitely isn't Sea Hawk.
Why did you even bring him in?
Copy !req
141. You said everyone was a suspect.
Copy !req
142. Exploits for the ages.
Copy !req
143. Narration.
Copy !req
144. I was supposed to be guarding the door.
Copy !req
145. But Perfuma relieved me of duty,
so I could join the fight.
Copy !req
146. I advanced through the courtyard,
Copy !req
147. avoiding the booby traps,
Copy !req
148. risking my very life, just like
in Mer-Mystery: Serpent of the Sea.
Copy !req
149. Wait, is that where my book went?
Sea Hawk, I've been looking for it.
Copy !req
150. That's when the clouds parted,
Copy !req
151. and the moonlight illuminated
my dearest Mermista in the distance.
Copy !req
152. Moonlight? The battle happened
this morning.
Copy !req
153. I made my way
over to her, when...
Copy !req
154. we were ambushed.
Copy !req
155. My sole aim was to protect Mermista
from the Horde.
Copy !req
156. Thinking quick, I took on
the 40 to 50 Horde soldiers surrounding us
Copy !req
157. and saved Dryl.
Copy !req
158. We lost Dryl, and you punched,
like, one guy before Glimmer got us out.
Copy !req
159. Exactly, 100 guys.
Copy !req
160. Wait, wait, I was with the General
the whole time.
Copy !req
161. And why weren't you
with Sea Hawk, Mermista?
Copy !req
162. Because Frosta waved me over,
but disappeared before I could reach her.
Copy !req
163. But that doesn't make any sense.
Copy !req
164. She was with Bow, and then Glimmer,
and then the others were—
Copy !req
165. Who wants to watch me do some squats?
Copy !req
166. I bet Adora and Glimmer
don't shove suspects out the door.
Copy !req
167. Okay, Flutterina, where were you
at the start of the battle?
Copy !req
168. With Bow and Frosta, of course.
Like we planned.
Copy !req
169. Is everything okay?
Copy !req
170. Everything is fine. Now—
Copy !req
171. It's just that, everyone's so on edge
after what happened in Dryl.
Copy !req
172. Have you tried interviewing
Shadow Weaver about it?
Copy !req
173. She seems kind of untrustworthy.
Copy !req
174. Oh, no, according to Glimmer,
she's totally trustworthy,
Copy !req
175. and it's fine to just let her walk
around the castle whenever she wants.
Copy !req
176. Can you please not start this up again?
Copy !req
177. I'm just saying,
it would've been nice if you told me.
Copy !req
178. I don't have to tell you
about every decision I make.
Copy !req
179. But you tell Shadow Weaver?
Copy !req
180. Maybe it's because Shadow Weaver
actually listened
Copy !req
181. when you and Bow kept leaving without me!
Copy !req
182. You two seem like you have
a lot to talk about.
Copy !req
183. Maybe I'll just come back later.
Copy !req
184. I don't know
why I'm going along with this.
Copy !req
185. The Horde is obviously planning something.
Copy !req
186. We should be out there, looking for them,
not stuck here, playing around.
Copy !req
187. No one's playing around, Glimmer.
There is a reason we've been losing.
Copy !req
188. And we're going to keep losing
if we don't act soon.
Copy !req
189. - There you are.
Copy !req
190. Why are you just standing around?
Copy !req
191. This isn't Mer-Mystery: The Case Of People
Who Just Stood Around,
Copy !req
192. the sequel I wrote right now
about all of you.
Copy !req
193. Who is even left to question?
Copy !req
194. I think I saw Mermista
with Bow's tracker pad.
Copy !req
195. Wait, you guys have been here
the entire time?
Copy !req
196. Tiny scone?
Copy !req
197. I can't believe you read those too.
Copy !req
198. Mer-Mystery: The Maltese Otter
is my favorite.
Copy !req
199. Ugh, that one's so predictable.
Copy !req
200. I saw that twist coming a mile away.
Copy !req
201. - Swift Wind, you weren't even there.
- I told you how I took out 100—
Copy !req
202. - No, 150 guys, right?
Copy !req
203. You have to arrest me
for everyone's safety.
Copy !req
204. Otherwise, my evil alter-ego
might do it again.
Copy !req
205. Bow, knock it off.
Copy !req
206. Still no. And put that back.
Copy !req
207. It's not them.
Copy !req
208. No.
No.
Copy !req
209. Okay, dude, I think,
like, maybe She-Ra did it.
Copy !req
210. Hey, we already questioned you.
Copy !req
211. Oh, yeah, I came back for the tiny scones.
Copy !req
212. I made a fresh batch.
Copy !req
213. Fizzy beverage?
Copy !req
214. If you just lent me the book,
then I'll show you who done it.
Copy !req
215. - We should interrogate him again.
- Happened in Pearl in the Window.
Copy !req
216. Glimmer? Where are you going?
Copy !req
217. This isn't working.
Copy !req
218. Nothing we do is working.
Copy !req
219. The Horde is always ahead,
Copy !req
220. and I can't just wait
for the next bad thing to happen.
Copy !req
221. So, what? You're gonna teleport
into the Fright Zone
Copy !req
222. and try to solve this by yourself?
Copy !req
223. Someone's gotta do something.
Copy !req
224. Glimmer, please.
Copy !req
225. You can't leave in the middle of the night
without backup.
Copy !req
226. The less people involved, the better.
We don't know who to trust.
Copy !req
227. And what about me?
Were you gonna tell me? Or Bow?
Copy !req
228. - Adora, I—
- Stay.
Copy !req
229. Please.
Copy !req
230. I know we can figure this out
if we work together.
Copy !req
231. No more secrets
and doing things without us.
Copy !req
232. We need you here.
Copy !req
233. I need you here.
Copy !req
234. Okay. I'm here.
Copy !req
235. Adora! Glimmer!
Copy !req
236. Where have you guys been?
Copy !req
237. The communications panel
in the War Room has been severed.
Copy !req
238. When did this happen?
Copy !req
239. I don't know. We were passing
by the room when we saw it.
Copy !req
240. Wait, we saw you run out of here
two minutes ago.
Copy !req
241. Uh, what are you talking about?
I was with Perfuma.
Copy !req
242. Could the storm have done something
to cause this?
Copy !req
243. This wasn't an accident.
Copy !req
244. This was sabotage.
Copy !req
245. The General is working
on restoring communications.
Copy !req
246. In the meantime, there's a backup device
in the dining room, should we need it.
Copy !req
247. All of us here knew
we were trying to unmask the spy.
Copy !req
248. And we were the ones
who made the plan to take back Dryl.
Copy !req
249. We've ruled out all other suspects.
Copy !req
250. Which means the only person
the spy could be is one of us.
Copy !req
251. Perfuma let the Horde take the doors.
Copy !req
252. I wasn't there.
Copy !req
253. Wait, your team was the one
who told us to come in,
Copy !req
254. and you led Mermista away.
Copy !req
255. I did not.
Copy !req
256. Trying to throw the blame
on someone else, huh, Frosta?
Copy !req
257. If Mermista knows so much about mysteries,
Copy !req
258. she'd probably know
how to plan the perfect crime.
Copy !req
259. And there was water by the tracker pad.
Copy !req
260. Water that could've been melted ice.
Copy !req
261. It's probably me.
Copy !req
262. It's not you, Bow!
Copy !req
263. Or maybe it is,
like in Mer-Mystery: Salt-er Ego.
Copy !req
264. It couldn't be me. I was busy fighting
at least 200 soldiers.
Copy !req
265. This is a waste of time, Glimmer.
Shouldn't we be—?
Copy !req
266. Stop.
Copy !req
267. Stop questioning my choices,
Copy !req
268. stop whining
about being a decoy, just stop.
Copy !req
269. - Okay?
- I'm not whining.
Copy !req
270. All you do is question me,
question my authority.
Copy !req
271. It's exhausting.
Copy !req
272. Okay, I lied.
Copy !req
273. I didn't fight 300 soldiers.
Copy !req
274. Mermista, will you ever forgive me?
Copy !req
275. Sea Hawk, we all knew that.
Copy !req
276. I don't know who to believe anymore.
I can't trust my own eyes.
Copy !req
277. - Who am I?
Look at what she's doing.
Copy !req
278. Look at what she's doing to you.
Copy !req
279. Shadow Weaver wants power,
and you are listening to her.
Copy !req
280. Oh, what? Are you jealous because you
aren't Shadow Weaver's favorite anymore?
Copy !req
281. Or are you just mad that I'm queen
and in charge and you're not?
Copy !req
282. That's ridiculous.
Copy !req
283. You just run around
playing the perfect hero.
Copy !req
284. You have no idea
how hard it's been for me.
Copy !req
285. Because you stopped
including me in your decisions.
Copy !req
286. We used to be a team. And now?
I don't know what we are.
Copy !req
287. Come on, backup communicator,
where are you?
Copy !req
288. Hey, Flutterina.
Copy !req
289. Looking for something?
Copy !req
290. Glimmer? Heh. Adora.
Copy !req
291. Hi, hi. Uh, just looking for the bathroom.
Copy !req
292. Okay. Okay. This looks bad,
but it isn't what it looks like.
Copy !req
293. So let's all just...
Copy !req
294. Oh.
Copy !req
295. I see.
Copy !req
296. Give it up, Flutterina.
If that's really who you are.
Copy !req
297. Magic. How very clever.
Copy !req
298. Isn't it? Shadow Weaver helped.
Copy !req
299. You see—
Copy !req
300. The reveal of how they caught
the murderer is my favorite part.
Copy !req
301. In order to catch a rat,
you need to spring a trap.
Copy !req
302. So we set one up of our own.
Copy !req
303. Classic murder mystery move.
Copy !req
304. There's no murder— Never mind.
Copy !req
305. We knew a backup communication device
Copy !req
306. would be irresistible
to whoever destroyed the original.
Copy !req
307. We wanted the spy to feel
safe enough to make a move,
Copy !req
308. so we created a diversion.
Copy !req
309. Adora managed to be
a really good actress, for once.
Copy !req
310. It was really hard.
Do not ask me to do that again.
Copy !req
311. So that brings us back to you.
Copy !req
312. Who are you really, Flutterina?
Copy !req
313. Please...
Copy !req
314. call me Double Trouble.
Copy !req
315. You're a shape-shifter?
Copy !req
316. It wasn't my goggles glitching.
Copy !req
317. It was you,
pretending to be Frosta at Dryl.
Copy !req
318. And Perfuma.
Don't shortchange my credits, darling.
Copy !req
319. May I say, as one actor to another,
that was truly a masterful performance.
Copy !req
320. I really bought that you two
were furious at each other.
Copy !req
321. If you would indulge me,
Copy !req
322. were you inspired
from any real emotion or experience?
Copy !req
323. Enough. It's over, Double Trouble.
Now tell us what the Horde is planning.
Copy !req
324. Over?
Copy !req
325. Oh, love, it's just beginning.
Copy !req
326. The Horde has been planning
a massive attack for some time now.
Copy !req
327. I let Catra know
that you were going to Dryl.
Copy !req
328. After that, all I had to do
was plant seeds of doubt.
Copy !req
329. Sowing chaos where I could.
Copy !req
330. Bow, seriously, you aren't the spy.
Copy !req
331. Hey. Mermista?
Copy !req
332. It wasn't hard.
Copy !req
333. I just had to keep you isolated
and at each other's throats
Copy !req
334. until the plan was underway.
Copy !req
335. Salineas.
Copy !req
336. If the Horde controls the seas,
they control Etheria.
Copy !req
337. That will never happen. We won't let it.
Copy !req
338. Now that we know their plan,
we can stop it.
Copy !req
339. No. Stop it?
Copy !req
340. Oh, this was a ruse, darling.
A distraction.
Copy !req
341. The Battle of Salineas is over.
Copy !req
342. It happened earlier this very evening.
It's too late.
Copy !req
343. Salineas is gone.
Copy !req
344. - No.
- No.
Copy !req
345. No, it's not too late. It can't be.
Copy !req
346. We can fix this.
Copy !req
347. We have to be able to fix this, right?
Copy !req
348. This won't happen again.
Copy !req
349. I won't let it.
Copy !req
350. We won't give up.
Copy !req
351. We will take back Salineas.
Copy !req
352. Take back all of Etheria.
Copy !req
353. No matter what it costs.
Copy !req
354. No matter
what the Horde throws at us next.
Copy !req
