Adora is not in this episode. She is in She-Ra form for the entire duration.
The animation of She-Ra pointing her magic sword at the camera and ordering it to transform into a shield was first seen in Unexpected Ally (1985).
Script was approved June 23, 1986.
Much animation is recycled from The Unicorn King (1985), including footage of Hordak and Mantenna in the Sea Fright, Mantenna and the Capture Bots, the Force Field Generator and footage of the Unicorn King himself.
