Trivia (courtesy of the SPOP fan wiki)

• This is the first episode featuring Sea Hawk and Mermista.
• After saving Adora and Bow in the attack, Mermista blushes deeply when She-Ra compliments her. This was the first sign leading to the coining of the "Mermadora" headcanon across the fandom.
• This is the first interaction between Catra and Adora since the latter's initial defection
