The Red Knight

 is the 8th episode of She-Ra: Princess of Power.

Moral
Loo-Kee: "Hi! It's me, Loo-Kee. Did you find where I was hiding today? If not, take another look. See me now? Here I am! Today, Bow lost the race, and felt really bad because he did. But She-Ra told him he did his best, and that's what counts. Win or lose, what counts is doing your best. See you next time!"

Behind the Scenes

 * Script was approved August 30, 1984 and final script revision took place February 26, 1985.
 * In the original script, the three unidentified competitors who enter the Rebels Run alongside Bow and the Red Knight are Gommoroth, leader of the Mountain Kingdom of Altos, Frod, a primitive caveman, and Kristan, an ice-blue warrior from Frosta's empire.
 * In the original script, the Red Knight was described as wearing a hood to disguise his featured during the race instead of his full armor.

Continuity

 * All the backgrounds for the village of Blackmoor will be seen again as the village of Bluestone in The Prisoners of Beast Island and as Valley View Castle in The Time Transformer.
 * The shot of Hordak and Mantenna in the Annihilator is reused from the episode Beast Island, with Mantenna taking the place of Shadow Weaver while striking the same pose.
 * Of the three people on the balcony during the runaway wagon scene, the man on the left uses the character model of Teela Na's friend from the He-Man and the Masters of the Universe episode Origin of the Sorceress, the female uses the character model of Sibyline from The Defection and the man in green that of the adult David from The Once and Future Duke.
 * She-Ra throws Scorpia by her tail again in the episodes A Loss for Words and The Anxious Apprentice.

Errors

 * After a young boy calls The Red Knight "the bravest man in the whole world", Bow refers to the speaker as a girl.
 * When Adora pats Kowl on the head as he says 'It won't be easy', the bottom of the animation cell is visible in some releases.
 * When Adora prepares to look for Bow, the sky behind her goes from day to night as she transforms into She-Ra.
