After a bumpy landing -- in which Ezra missed the landing platform and had to be saved by Kanan, who used the Force to pull him back up -- the rebels are spotted. So much for being stealthy.
Kanan tells Sabine to toss her detonators and torch the gas, but Ezra stops her. The gas and the purrgil are connected; if they blow the gas, they'll hurt the animals. They must figure out another way.
Ezra Force pushes the security agent over the edge and takes over the cannon, covering Kanan and Sabine as they secure the landing platform. The Ghost finally docks.
More security forces arrive, and Ezra is blasted over the ledge, falling into the abyss. More TIEs are launched to take on the Ghost, and Kanan frantically calls for his apprentice.
Ezra is alive -- on top of a purrgil! But he cannot breathe in the gas.
Through the Force, he connects with the creature. He understands why they're here, and sees a great vision in its eye. "Let us help you," he says.
As if in agreement, the purrgil returns Ezra's cadet helmet.
Above, the rebels are surrounded and outmatched. "I can't believe we're gonna lose to this guy," Kanan says. Suddenly, over the comm, Ezra interrupts. "Don't worry," he says. "We'll be right there."
Standing atop a purrgil and leading a herd, the Padawan rises. As a TIE approaches, Ezra stands his ground and slices into its wing.
In the interim, the Ghost has recharged...and its cargo hold is filled with the much-needed fuel. The purrgil, meanwhile, head for the base...
...and one grabs the leader, Yushyn, in its powerful jaws. He flails as the beast takes him down into the myst.
The battle over, the Ghost takes off and destroys the refinery.
Ezra leaps from his purrgil onto the Ghost. The beast wails a goodbye and joins its herd.
Ezra tells the crew that he could see what the purrgil were thinking: they use the gas to breathe and travel. The asteroid was just one stop in a long journey.
Then, the animals' tentacles begin to illuminate. "Can it be?" Hera says. One by one, the purrgil blast into hyperspace...followed by the Ghost, ready to return to the fleet.
