Since no one is offering to make this episode post - I decided to do it cause it's two days after the Monday this was supposed to be made. 

I'm not sure whether or not Chrysalis, Tirek, and Cozy are trying to be allies with eachother, or with the enemy. Another synopsis says "with the enemy", but it could be a typo, which I hope so! It woulda been so much more interesting to see the chemistry between the villains and maybe learn their backstories! However, if they do plan on befriending the enemy, I hope they disguise themselves to maintain the element of surprise!

It looks like the rest of the first half of the season will air early in italy.

Well, there goes the suspense for this Sombra Justice Warrior.  And no, it's not just me. Believe it or not, there is even a comic by the legendary Silver Quill making fun of this. 

Real talk, I respect whatever the writers have done and what some fans want by actually not wanting or caring for him to return. Regardless, this makes me laugh. 

Spoiler

Sombra does not appear in it from what I've gathered. That's fine, moving on.

Update.

I saw the Italian dub. And guess what: 😣

It was terrible!!! 😤

And no, I don't mean the dubbing voices, I mean the episode itself. No Mane Six (other than Twilight impersonated by Chrysalis), no Crusaders, no Spike, and no Starlight at all. Just four villains doing absolutely nothing interesting!

Finally an song.

Another reason he's #NotMyKingSombra...

FIENDship and Siege actually developed him; S9 just threw him away.

I did not watch the episode because I want to see it in English, however I did see a few screenshots and all I have to say is that I can hardly wait, it looks very promising from what I have seen!

AVOIDING EARLY LEAKS so I'm avoiding the spoiler boxes

Regardless of how the extreme fanbase wants it, I want this final season and this episode to be its own thing for better or worse. After all, as I see myself as a believer of the Multiverse, I see whatever's going to happen in this coming episode to simply be ONE way of how things play out. And that there's an entire "tree" with branches of alternative universes where things played out differently than the "canon" way. In other words, even if the official version isn't what one expects it to be, there's always fanon of What If's 

[RDDash 18,864]

I am too lazy to watch Italian version, so I am waiting for the English one to show up.

[Ganondorf8 11,118]

I'll wait for the English version to appear which will be in a few days. The wait isn't that long and avoiding spoilers is easy if you know how and where to go.

Probably a stupid question, but why doesn't Tirek just absorb Grogar's magic while he's off-guard?

Maybe he is immune to his powers in some way, or he is too strong for it to work?
Besides, I doubt that Grogar is dull enough to ever put his guard down with any of them.
He is a villain himself, after all, he knows how it works and not to actually trust them.

@Odyssey if the episode is not good I just want to let it be known that I officially will blame you for it.

Well if the episode turns out to be amazing instead, I will thank you for it. We're even now.

Grogar's been doing this a LOT longer than any of the other villain on the show; I really don't see him being off'd anywhere near that easily.

Well, grogar probably won't put his guard down near the other villains who have a fair chance to betray him, tirek probably knows he can't absorb his magic yet(he could not absorb the princesses magic until he stole the magic from immense amount of ponies) and if he tries and fails grogar will either kill him or sent him back to tartarus so its not worth the risk.

I'd watch it if I spoke Italian. Since I don't, I guess I'll wait. I way as well. I have the episodes for season 9 so far, but haven't started watching yet.

Sombra Justice Warrior. 

[YoshiAngemon 223]

Well, today's the day. I have a feeling I'm not gonna enjoy it, but at least I can play The Misadventures of Tron Bonne after, because it's a prequel to Mega Man Legends, where you play as the bad guy.

[Rushing cash 824]

Well, the episode was written by Mike Vogel and he has an impressive record, among the episodes he wrote there are(if I'm not mistaken): "A Hearth's Warming Tail", "Stranger Then Fanfiction",  "Every Little Thing She Does", "To where and back again", "The mean six" and "Best Gift Ever", all of these are great episodes in my opinion so I have confidence in his writing skills and I am pretty sure this episode will not disappoint.
