Description
And here’s the MacGuffin of the episode.

To Grogar, Team Rocket are imbeciles. Nothing in this ep’s bookends suggest he’s aware they are plotting against them (plus, by happenstance, they still bicker like children around him)
Grogar’s behavior just doesn’t seem to add up with him not suspecting those three, since he seemingly gave up on trying to retrieve the bell, when he’s stronger than them combined, with no “let’s try again, but with me this time.”
I suspect it might be a countermeasure of sorts, whatever he’s getting.

No, Im pretty sure we’ll still see a Mane 6 v Grogar confrontation. Just that Team Rocket will find some way to take pity on M6 to turn against Grogar, likely because after the M6 are defeated, Grogar turns on them, since he just sees them as pawns.
So, I’m guessing Mane Six won’t face Grogar at all, probably won’t even know he existed and he will remain a legend for everypony as he always was.
Meh
He probably still is:
Grogar only bookends this episode as he sets off on his own quest to find an artifact of power to defeat the ponies, and on return claims he is successful, but does not say what he found or what it can do.
That makes me think this power is much more than anyone expected, so Team Rocket here is actually going to turn out to be the “good guys” and use the power of Grogar’s bell to stop Grogar. They get reformed, Twi is coronated, show ends.
Grogar: “Hah! I knew I could trust you three to be untrustworthy!”
Well, that’s lame. I was really hoping Grogar would be the endgame villain, but i guess not…
I think it’s for them to find out any weaknesses to exploit.
Pretty sure Grogar has all the knowledge in that book…@AC97
Go figure

Yup this all done w/o Grogar’s knowledge.
By the looks of that book, they’ve got their own thing going involving Grogar’s Bewitching Bell.
Just need to blast them off again.
