## Plot

The Ninja, the Mane Six, Megan and Vania are on vacation at the Potion Ocean, and Kaya and Potion Nova warn them to stay away from a magical part of the ocean called the Cute Triangle or else risk being lost forever. She also tells the Ninja that hundred years ago, the Elemental Masters, including Wu and Garmadon, were collecting potions needed to replenish the supply for Mistakè's tea, but they were all trapped in the Cute Triangle because Lilly and Wu were having a feud argument. In order to manage out of the Cute Triangle, the Elemental Masters, including Wu and Garmadon, use the power of Spinjitzu Burst. Wanting themselves and their friends to do an activity as a group, Applejack tries desperately to get everyone to roast marshmallows together, even pulling them away from activities they would prefer doing instead, which Cole then agree with the others. Potion Nova tells Applejack not to worry about them, but Cole and Applejack were started an argument about what activities we should do, but Kaya and Vania both stop them for fighting each other.

The next morning, Applejack wakes her friends up early to go on a surfing safari together, but Cole was asleep, not wanting to let them went together, although Kaya managed to wake him up. When Cole gets up for surfing safari, he tell the others set off on their own as soon as they get on the water. Fed up, Applejack angrily tells her friends to stay together inside a formation of three rocks, while Cole then argues with Applejack the she was ruthless to her friends for pressuring them, as Zane and Vania points out there is a glowing rock underneath. The rock formation turns out to be the Cute Triangle, and its magic drags the Ninja, the Mane Six, Megan and Vania below the water.

With everyone unable to escape, Cole and Applejack apologizes to each other for a feud argument about the group activities upon them. Using some of the objects around them and the magical Spinjitzu Burst spell, Friendship Burst, the Ninja, the Mane Six, Megan and Vania escape the Cute Triangle and return to the surface.

## Trivia

* **Narrator**: Cole and Applejack
* This episode was first broadcast in Turkey on Cartoon Network on July 18, 2020, the same day where "Uncharted" and "The Blue Moon Heist" aired in Canada.
* Despite "Potion Nova Returns" was not part of the main arc, it is the fifteenth episode of the Masters of the Mountain arc that began in "Uncharted".
* This episode was similar to the *Breadwinners* episode, "Fowl Feud", when SwaySway and Buhduece were entering a feud, when they broke their most treasured items, and at the end, they resolved each other by apologizing, while in danger.
* The Cute Triangle is a reference to the Bermuda Triangle, a region in the Atlantic Ocean where ships and airplanes have disappeared under mysterious circumstances. Another occurrence that resembles the Bermuda Triangle is the Storm Belt, as several ships and airplanes have gone missing in this region and indeed dangerous.

## Continuity

* The Shintaro Crystal Guardians didn't appear for the second time.
* Bubbles makes a cameo appearance while at the Cute Triangle.
* This is the only episode to use a convergence spell using Spinjitzu Burst, called Friendship Burst. When activated, it creates a golden cyclone similar to the Tornado of Creation.
* Parts of the episode was used as a flashback for "Down and Under", where Cole has an idea to break the hole from the Rock-Bottom to escape.
	+ Cole also tell the others that they were going up, not down, inspiring him to rename the Lowly to the Upply.
	+ It was also used in "Sportacular Spectacular Musical Musak-ular" during the montage from We Shine Brighter Together and also in "Everyone's Wish Came True" during the song Rewriting the Stars Together.
* This is the first episode to feature Vania's swimwear, but it was reverted back to the causal outfits during the second part.

## Changes

### Changes from the Pony Life cartoon

* Applejack pressurizes them to stay together while having activities, causing the magic to drag them below the water. It then changes to Cole and Applejack having an argument for planning an activity.
* The Mane Six uses "some good old-fashioned friendship magic" to escape the Cute Triangle, was changed to the convergence spell Friendship Burst, as the Ninja, the Mane Six, Megan and Vania make their way out of the Cute Triangle.

## Errors

* When Kai was searching for his favorite beach towel, he was in his swimwear, but when Applejack is yelling everyone not to leave at the boundary of three rocks, he was in the Armor suit similar to the Ninja.
* When Applejack is having an angry outburst, Twilight, Fluttershy, and Rainbow Dash don't have wings.
* When the Ninja, the Mane Six, Megan and Vania find out the three rocks explodes in waves, both Rarity and Pinkie Pie have wings.
* The Ninja, the Mane Six, Megan and Vania survived underwater at the Cute Triangle, but in "Rock Bottom" and several ocean-themed episodes of Aquarium Dreams (e.g. "A Seastarry Sleepover" and "That Sinking Feeling"), some of the characters drown without oxygen because they can't breathe underwater, which makes a logical explanation to this.
* When Fluttershy gets mad at Applejack underwater, she doesn't have wings.
