[S5E9] A Friendly Kiss Between Friends

Callie has always had a way of being great friends with her significant others, so it's not surprising that the friendships never go away. Add into the mix the fact that things were left unresolved between AJ and Callie, and it's not ideal for Aaron.

Tired of Rachel's hopelessly procrastinating 'plan' Monica plainly asks Danny 'who ignored her on purpose' to date Rachel, and he immediately accepts, much to her delight. However, she gets suspicious when she later sees him with his arms around a girl in the subway, but at his apartment finds that it's just his sister Krista, who is visiting him in town for Christmas. Yet instead of relieved she is rather appalled at how physically close and childish the adult siblings still are, and the other friends concur. Though the relationship between Danny and Krista does not really appear to be incestuous, as they do not really appear to be sexually attracted to each other, their relationship apparently hasn't changed in any way at all since they were children-Krista still feeds Danny cake off of her fingers, and still wipes stains off of his clothes for him, even when the stains in question are on the crotch area of his jeans (which Rachel, Monica, Joey and Chandler discover much to their shock and disbelief after witnessing her accidentally drop the cake onto his lap) and Danny still playfully chases his sister around and tickles her, even when she's half naked. It appears as though the siblings have bizarrely not developed any physical intimacy issues upon growing up at all, causing Rachel, Monica, Chandler and Joey to find their relationship disturbing. Rachel goes to Danny's apartment and tells him she wants to break up with him. He tries to persuade her to change her mind, seemingly not understanding how she could find anything wrong with his relationship with his sister, but when Krista reveals that they also still take baths together, Rachel fearfully runs out of the room.

Catra's situation on Adora has gone from friendly to ambiguous to negative to all the way around through the course of the show, to slowly rebuild their friendship and eventually end up romantically. In the beginning, Catra and Adora are seen jesting in the locker room, and later, taking a joy ride on a ship they borrowed without asking. Further, Catra is seen sleeping curled up at the foot of Adora's bed (which has a drawing of Adora and Catra's faces) at night, showing how close they are. However, when Adora defects, Catra gets Adora's promotion. Catra benefited from Adora's absence. Thus begins her descent into darkness. Their first meeting after this is the fight for the Salineas Sea Gate, where Catra leads an assault on the kingdom of Salineas.

Catra spends her time mostly mocking Adora, before being driven off by Mermista. Things truly begin to get ambiguous during Princess Prom. Catra exploits Adora's former friendship to capture Glimmer and Bow while stealing the Sword of Protection. Catra then gives Adora back the sword and lets her escape unmolested. In the episode \"Promise\", Catra and Adora meet again, and start out civil and friendly with each other, even helping each other against the defenses of the First Ones' Temple. However, the Temple also shows Catra and Adora's past as children, as well as causing them to relive some painful memories. This seems to cement a rage in Catra, saying that Adora was a hero and that \"every hero needs a sidekick\". This implies that Catra has come to believe that Adora only saw her as a second, and was being a hero for the sake of glory. In the episode \"White Out\", Adora gets the upper hand on Catra, although Catra doesn't seem particularly bothered, expressing the belief that Adora won't strike her.

However, the true nature of Catra's descent is covered in the episodes \"Razz\" and \"Promise\". In these episodes, it shows that Catra may have never truly made friends with the rest of her squad. Since Shadow Weaver never loved her, Adora was the only one who showed her any affection. When Adora left her, she felt betrayed by the only one who ever loved her, and this was juxtaposed by her own rise to power. This has caused Catra to increasingly see Adora, who was always loved by everyone, as the obstacle between her and success. This is what caused her actions at the end of season three. Catra's failures were something she linked with Adora's increasing return to her life.

During the end of season three, after she regains her memories while in the false reality, Catra lashes out at Adora, blaming her for the catastrophe, but Adora says, in the end, that it was Catra that pulled the lever, so she is the only one to blame for the consequences of her own choices, ending with \"now live with it\" before finally knocking Catra down. In the end, Adora manages to reinstate the normal reality and to destroy Hordak's portal emerging from it as She-Ra, but both Catra and Hordak manage to escape in the confusion, Adora giving Catra a cold, frightening stare that clearly scares her, thus causing Catra to realize that Adora is done trying to redeem her. Whatever remained of the friendship between Catra and Adora had disappeared.

Despite this Catra is initially reluctant to rebuild her friendship with Adora, keeping her at an arm's distance and outright expressing her belief that Adora will try to leave her behind again. As she grows closer with Adora's friends and joins them on their adventures, she and Adora gradually warm up to each other again. When Adora decides to take on the fail-safe code for the Heart of Etheria, however, Catra decides she is too much of a distraction to Adora's duties and tries to flee, only to change her mind after learning of Horde Prime's final plan and running back to aid Adora in releasing the Heart of Etheria, saving her from an ancient security system. When Adora was rendered incapable of becoming She-Ra by Horde Prime's virus and nearly dies from it, Catra's confession of love, and her subsequent return of it by kissing her, is what ultimately reawakens Adora's powers. With Horde Prime destroyed and his empire no more, Adora decides to go on a quest spreading magic across the universe, inviting Bow, Glimmer, and her now girlfriend, Catra, to which Catra happily accepts.

Shadow Weaver and Castaspella tell the rebels that Mystacor was built on the ruins of a First Ones' citadel and in these ruins was an artifact known as the Crystal of Arxia. Glimmer teleported Shadow Weaver, Catra, Bow, Adora, Castaspella and Melog to Mystacor where they sneaked inside using Melog's stealth. When they reached the Luminarium Catra broke stealth mode alerting the sorcerer's to their presence and a brief fight ensued with one sorcerer. Shadow Weaver opened the secret entrance within Mystacor. After bickering with Shadow Weaver in the tunnel Adora triggered a fire rune that erupted in fake flames around her. Catra jumped into the fire and 'saved' Adora. Shadow Weaver then tried, and failed, to drive a wedge between Adora and Catra by falsely claiming that her friendship, her love was what was preventing her from being able to summon She-Ra. Upon reaching the Crystal of Arxia, Shadow Weaver explains that the fail safe is a code which was stored inside inside the crystal and instructed Adora to open it with the password \"Friends of Mara\". The instructions inside said, \"Someone needs to go inside and accept the fail-safe\"; which means that someone must take the fail-safe and carry it bodily into the Heart. Catra stopped Adora and as she realized that Show Weaver has been the chamber before from watching her and asked the sorceress why didn't take the fail safe and use it to get all the power she ever wanted from the Heart. Shadow Weaver then revealed that She-Ra was the only one who could absorb the full power of the Heart only she could go, despite Catra's and everyone else's protestations. Knowing that she may not survive she decided her sacrifice would be better than Prime getting access to the Heart. But Micah showed up with two other chipped sorcerers and a fight erupted. Using the fight as a distraction Adora entered and accepted the fail-safe. Micah used dark magic to entrap the heroes and he tried to interrupt Adora's accepting of the fail-safe. Seeing her friends in distress she summoned She-Ra, accepted the fail-safe and bound Micah and the two sorcerers. Everyone fled Mystacor for their base. Catra was so upset at seeing Adora's willingness to sacrifice herself that ultimately deciding to leave with Melog rather than see Adora leave her again and watch it happen.

With five single friends, everyone was bound to play musical partners at some point, but Chandler really did a number on Joey when he kissed Kathy. To punish Chandler, Joey makes him spend Thanksgiving in a large box in the living room. To be more exact, he makes Chandler spend six hours in the box, which was the same amount of time Joey spent in their entertainment center when they were robbed earlier in the season.

During their Friendship Week stay in New York, Adrien at first was disappointed that he couldn't go, but when he found out that Marinette convinced his father to do so he was extremely grateful towards her. Despite awkward moments between them, he enjoyed spending time with her, such as enjoying the sunset and dancing in the air. However, a huge mishap led to Adrien returning home, he apologized to Marinette for her efforts to get him to New York and wouldn't have minded staying longer with her. During the plane ride home, Adrien received a surprise picture of his friends and smiles.

However he soon realized that what he was doing was wrong in making her fall in love with a stranger then when Marinette breaks down in sadness about not being able to love who she wants Cat sadly replies back she could but he could not. Things escalate when Marinette's feelings don't go unnoticed by Monarch, seeing her nearly akumatized he encouraged her to fight Monarch's influence but out of fear she was going to give in her saved her with a kiss but that made things more akward between them and realize a relationship between them wouldn't work. And with Glaciator on the rampage again he hid somewhere safe and after Andre's deakumatization they reunite on the balcony to where they apologized to each other but Cat Noir didn't take it too hard as he didn't find it too unbelievable for mistaking idolization for love and yet agreed that Marinette had the desire to love whom ever she wanted with them bidding each other goodnight. 59ce067264
