The opening world isn't real
Intro narration over soul gem confirms world of wraiths from series
What's actually happening – collapsing soul gem in containment field for Kyubey to observe Law of Cycles (entropy potential)
Homura's always desired to live in a safe Mitakihara with her friends, so that's her labyrinth just like Sayaka's reflects a symphony from her wish for Kyosuke
The world collapses
Everyone that isn't real stops looking real as Homura confirms to herself she's the witch
World is predicated on the illusion since Homura wants to be with Madoka in the real world and thus collapses
Kyubey's plan revealed
Homura realizes Kyubey's plan to observe and eventually learn to control the Law of Cycles to harness the entropy of the transformation to a witch
Therefore decides she must complete her transformation and be destroyed instead of being saved that way Kyubey can't learn anything about Madoka
One moment where Homura accepts Madoka for who she is and the path that she's chosen, and is willing to die for her happiness
Madoka saves her anyway
Madoka and friends attack the barrier instead of witch Homura
Homura resists, but is broken down by how this puts her in conflict with Madoka
Homura decides to simply follow her heart's desire from now on, and in this moment that's fighting alongside Madoka to break the barrier and destroy the incubators inside
Demon Homura
After breaking the barrier, back in normal time, Godoka comes to save Homura just as she's transforming
Homura is further along that normal though, as she's already gone through her transformation inside her soul gem
Homura's desire is still to be with Madoka in the real world though, so morphs the power of her transformation into a power to fracture Madoka from her Godoka form and rewrite the universe like Madoka did into one where they're all back at school together
Madoka ain't buying it
Madoka in this new world almost reconnects with her Law of Cycles form, and Homura concludes that once they defeat all the Wraiths she'll probably come into conflict with Madoka & Sayaka who said she won't forget Homura's their enemy
Likely plot for upcoming movie
