The Mandalorian fights back, blasting spiders left and right. As she stands near the marker, the beasts retreat. She’s rescued by the Ghost crew just in time. They need to locate their missing clone captain.
The crew enters a dark cave in search of Rex and their crawling enemies. As the Jedi’s lightsabers light the way, Kanan suggests he and Ezra split up. Hera sternly disagrees. “We’ve gotta get used to not having them around,” she explains privately to the others.
The Jedi duo quickly come upon a spider. As Kanan prepares to attack, Ezra has a better idea. “Let me try to connect with it.”
But his plan doesn’t go as expected. Krykna cannot be tamed by the Force.
The rest of the crew discovers several shells belonging to the skittish “dokma” they continue to see fleeing from the krykna. The group deduces they must be preyed on by the beasts.
“I could really use a hand over here!” A familiar voice shouts. It’s Rex! He’s been pinned up in the cave. “I met the neighbors. I don’t care for ‘em.”
Rex is rescued but the crew still needs to escape the crawlers -- made angrier that their prisoner was taken from them. Kanan and Ezra return, slicing the creatures’ heads with their sabers. They’re able to successfully leave the cave and Chopper pulls through with the Ghost.
But they can’t leave that easily. The krykna have glued the Ghost to the ground with their webs. They have to use the ship’s blasters to take them out.
But why didn’t the krykna attack the base? The sensor markers!
The krykna break through the ship’s doors. Rex keeps the big one at bay while the rest of the crew go outside with blasters in hand.
Kanan and Ezra Force push Sabine flying through the air to get to the sensor marker. She nearly escapes the clutches of a krykna and grabs onto a marker. It is her safe passage back to the Ghost. Ezra and Kanan get to work cutting the webs with their lightsabers.
The crew escapes, but Rex is reluctant to tell Commander Sato that the new base may not be all they hoped. “No! It took everything we had just to find this place. I’m not ready to give it up.” Hera states. “Don’t worry, I’ll handle it.”
When they return safely to the ground surrounded by markers, Sabine imparts some wisdom to Kanan about Hera’s feelings. Though she supports his decision to leave, he’s still walking out on her.
Kanan approaches her. The Twi’lek initially acts cold, but then softens. “Whatever you’re facing, I wanted us to face it together.”
“We’ll see each other again. I promise,” he assures her.
Ezra makes one last attempt to connect with the krykna. No such luck. “Fine. I guess we won’t be friends,” he says. Then, finally, Ahsoka returns.
“My experience, just when you think you understand the force, you find out how little you actually know,” she explains to the Padawan. It’s time to leave.
