Short summary

Shadow Weaver is insulted by Hordak and seeks an alliance with Skeletor so she can rule Etheria herself. But of course Skeletor has no intention of keeping up his part of the bargain.

Scenes cut from the shooting script:

  • There is more dialogue when Catra and Shadow Weaver return to the Fright Zone and blame each other for being defeated by She-Ra.
  • When an angry Shadow Weaver returns to Horror Hall, there are three weird and goofy looking demons cowering in the corner. She waves her hand at them and puts a spell on then which causes their legs and arms to swap places.
  • During their conversation at the Crystal Castle, Light Hope mentions that Skeletor is a being unfamiliar to him, but She-Ra is able to identify him.

In his script, Lawrence G. DiTillio refers to the Hordesmen chasing Imp as the "Let's-Eat-Imp-For-Brunch-squad."

During her transformation sequence, Adora/She-Ra stands before the same cavern background seen in He-Man and the Masters of the Universe: The Gambler (1985) during the transformation of Adam/He-Man.

The animation of Hordak threatening Skeletor with his arm cannon is reused from She-Ra: Princess of Power: Battle for Bright Moon (1985).

Script was approved December 13, 1984 and final script revision took place March 20, 1985.

    Shadow Weaver calls on Skeletor to assist her defeat Hordak and take over the Horde. However, She-ra can't sit by and see her enemy hurt even if it is Hordak.

    This episode stands out not only because Hordak is double crossed by Shadow Weaver but because Skeletor appears (without an appearance from He-Man or Adam). Also Skeletor has other ideas which don't involve Shadow-weaver. In addition, it features many of Hordak's side-kicks. There's some good scene's notably Skeletor and Hordak going head to head and when She-ra is captured in a bubble and assisted by her rebel friends which makes for some entertaining action.
