Their ship in the mouth of a purrgil, Ahsoka and Huyang travel through hyperspace, hoping to find Sabine and Ezra. Tano laments Sabine's decision to hand the map over to Baylan. “She could have ended this," Ahsoka says. "No Thrawn. No war.” “And no Ezra,” Huyang replies.

Sabine awakens on the enemy's ship, cuffed. Soon, the craft arrives at Peridea, homeworld of Morgan Elsbeth's ancestors, the Nightsister witches.

Elsbeth and the others take a shuttle to the surface, where three witches — the Great Mothers — come to greet them. “Your visions guided me across the stars,” Elsbeth tells them.

Baylan and Shin walk off. Skoll ruminates over the inevitable pattern of destruction throughout history. And this is why they are here, so that he can bring this cycle to an end. Then, from above, a Star Destroyer approaches.

Stormtroopers stand at attention as Grand Admiral Thrawn disembarks. After he discusses plans to leave this galaxy, they bring Sabine before him. He will honor Baylan's promise, and sets her free to find Ezra Bridger. But when she leaves, Thrawn orders Skoll to follow. If Sabine finds Ezra, he is to kill them both.

Sabine doesn't make it far before she and her howler mount are ambushed by roaming bandits. She defeats them, and as they walk on, the howler seems to smell something. It approaches a rock and licks it — revealing a small, friendly being.

The small creature recognizes the rebel insignia on her armor, and shows Sabine that it wears a necklace with the same symbol. Wren asks if it knows Ezra Bridger, and more of its kind — the Noti — pop up from the surrounding landscape.

Baylan and Shin find the remains of the bandits who attacked Sabine. The apprentice asks if they should leave this place, but Baylan declines, saying that something on the planet calls to him.

Sabine arrives at the Noti camp. “I knew I could count on you,” a voice says from behind. She turns to see Ezra — older, bearded, and smiling. “Though, it sure took you long enough.” They embrace.

Back on the Star Destroyer, the Great Mothers come to see Thrawn. They sense a Jedi is coming. “Well, that is unwelcome news," he says. "Could it be the recently deceased Ahsoka Tano?” He asks for all available intel on Ahsoka, and tells the Nightsisters he will require the aid of their dark magicks.
