Feeling betrayed by the Father, the Son dies. As the Father struggles for breath, he tells Anakin he has restored balance to the Force in this world, and that he must stay on his destiny's path to restore it to the galaxy. His final warning to Anakin: "Beware your heart." As the Father's body becomes one with the Force, the bright crystal atop the monastery shatters, filling the air with an intense white light.

Anakin, Obi-Wan and Ahsoka, consumed by the light's brilliance, find themselves in the cockpit of their shuttle on approach to their original rendezvous point. A transmission from Captain Rex breaks in, telling Anakin the shuttle had been off their scopes for a moment. Puzzled by this revelation, Anakin steers the shuttle toward the nearby Republic cruiser.
