*May 15, 2020*

**Corridors** is the third episode of Season Five and forty-second episode overall of *She-Ra and the Princesses of Power*.

It was released on Netflix with the rest of the fifth season on May 15, 2020.

## Synopsis

*As Bow, Entrapta and Adora attempt to keep Mara's ship functional, Horde Prime orders Catra to betray Glimmer—under threat of a memory wipe.*

## Plot

On board Horde Prime's space station, Catra gets uncomfortable with the clones following her every move. She runs into one clone who calls her by her name, and because of that she realizes it is the reconditioned Hordak. She questions him and leaves him with an internal struggle. Then Catra visits Glimmer in her cell again and the two begin talking and share a laugh and some fond memories of Adora. Then, she follows two clones to a transport room, where the clones are beamed to the surface.

On Darla, Bow tries to keep Entrapta from tinkering with it and possibly causing irreparable damage. But there is a malfunction anyway and the ship shuts down to preserve energy. Entrapta reveals that she named the ship Darla and goes to fix the problem with Bow chasing her frantically.

Horde Prime summons Catra to his throne room to ask her about an ancient ship that he discovered leaving Etheria. He tasks Catra to question Glimmer about the ship and report back to him the information. When she answers that it was impossible, Prime calls Hordak forward and demonstrates the reconditioning ceremony on him. He then tells Catra to get the information from Glimmer once again, and Catra, in fear of her memory being wiped, obliges.

Catra enters Glimmer's cell and briefs her on what Prime knows. Glimmer begs Catra to resist Prime, pointing out that Adora is on her way and if Prime used the Heart of Etheria, he will destroy the universe. Frightened, Catra flees, leaving Glimmer in tears.

Aboard Darla, Entrapta created spacesuits for everyone so she could fix the ship from the outside, which totally freaks out Bow and Adora.

Prime and the Clone Army use Catra's information to find Darla, before thanking and praising Catra for her decision. Catra leaves the throne room, and has a memory of a time when Adora and her were kids, fighting. She subsequently returns to Glimmer's cell, attacks and paralyzes Hordak, who was serving Glimmer her dinner, and frees her.

Catra then leads Glimmer to the transport pad, telling her to escape with Adora and not return. Catra contacts Adora and tells her the coordinates in which Glimmer would appear. She demands that Adora not come back to Prime's ship, to leave her behind, and beams Glimmer off Prime's ship as more clones started to pile on her. She screams an apology at Adora before she is overcome by clones.

Entrapta pilots Darla to Glimmer's coordinates while Adora and Bow do a spacewalk to rescue Glimmer, who is shielded from the harsh conditions surrounding her with some sort of force field.

Prime has Catra bound and brought before him where he accuses her of treachery and promises to find Glimmer and She-Ra. Catra scoffs in his face.
