Overview:

Adora arrives at the First Ones citadel with Catra hot on her tail. They soon find themselves trapped in an illusion simulator that brings back painful memories.

Trivia (courtesy of the SPOP wiki):

• Octavia appears during a flashback sequence. She was originally created for the Filmation cartoon rather than the Princess of Power toy line, but was eventually released as an action figure by Mattycolletor in 2013.
• "Promise" is the first episode that Bow and Glimmer are not in.
• In the first simulation, Catra and Adora were six years old (In episode "Boys' Night Out," Octavia said that Catra was six years old when she scratched her eye)
• ND Stevenson said that "Promise" is his favorite episode.
• The temporary name for the script for this episode was "111" (for the episode number) before it was shipped for its finalization, according to a tweet by ND.
• This is the first episode where we see Shadow Weaver without her mask.
