Ahsoka spots something in the balcony and runs to see if it's Aurra Sing. She uses her Force powers to nudge the rifle off target just as Aurra Sing fires at Padmé. Discovered, the bounty hunter fires off a few shots at Ahsoka before giving her the slip.

Ahsoka finds out from the medic droid that Senator Amidala only suffered a shoulder wound. She tells Padmé and Bail that Aurra Sing escaped. She pleads with Padmé to cancel her speech that night and leave the conference for her own safety. Padmé refuses. Ahsoka thinks she might have a plan that could work.

Ahsoka enters the room with Bail Organa, followed by a luxury droid disguised as Senator Amidala in a cloak. The attendees applaud their arrival. Meanwhile Aurra Sing sneaks in again through an air vent. Ahsoka keeps watch with Captain Typho. Padmé, who is safely in her room, begins her speech via comlink through the droid. Ahsoka senses Aurra and runs off to investigate.

Aurra Sing is nowhere near the packed conference room, but instead lurking in the air vents in Padmé's room. Just as she aims at Padmé again, Ahsoka bursts into the room with her lightsaber ignited. She deflects the blaster fire and uses the Force to throw Aurra to the ground. The angered Aurra shoots at the door, closing it so Captain Typho and his guards can't get into the room.

Aurra tells Ahsoka that she may have left her for dead on Florrum, but Hondo Ohnaka pulled her from the wreckage. Padmé asks Aurra why she wants her dead. Aurra laughs that it's not about Padmé's politics, it's purely about revenge. Aurra's employer wants to get even with Padmé. As Aurra gloats, Padmé secretly pulls out a blaster from her shoulder sling.

Ahsoka blocks Aurra's blaster fire from hitting Padmé, but she's soon hit and falls to the ground. As Ahsoka falls, Padmé pulls out her blaster and stuns Aurra. Ahsoka is injured, but impressed with Padmé's shooting skills.

Ahsoka, Senator Amidala, Senator Bail Organa, Captain Typho and the rest of the entourage return to Coruscant with Aurra Sing in custody. Anakin and Yoda greet them at the landing platform. Padmé tells Anakin that without Ahsoka's foresight, the outcome could have been dire. Yoda commends Ahsoka on her visions.

Ahsoka's still concerned that they don't know who hired Aurra to assassinate Padmé. At Yoda's urging, Ahsoka closes her eyes to reclaim her vision, hearing bizarre laughter and seeing purple shapes. Padmé thinks she knows who it is -- Ziro the Hutt. They visit Ziro in prison and trick him into confessing about the hit he put on Padmé.
