Ezra and Chopper arrive at Krownest, looking to recruit Sabine and her clan to their cause.

Thrawn leaves the fleet in Governor Pryce's command as he leads the ground assault. Back on Krownest, the Mandalorians are sympathetic to the rebels' plight, but do not think they can help. Sabine refuses to let her friends face the Empire alone, however, and convinces her clan to fight.

The Grand Admiral arrives on Atollon with a fleet of walkers, and they breach the shields. Stormtroopers attack on the ground, TIEs and A-wings clash in the sky, and the fleets battle in space. Meanwhile, Ezra and the Mandalorians have arrived to take out the Interdictor.

Thrawn reaches Hera, Kanan, and the rebels. They will surrender or die one by one, he says. But a storm is brewing. It is the Bendu. "I bring death!" the being shouts from above. Lightning rains down, destroying Imperial and rebel vehicles alike. The rebels run for the Ghost and get off planet.

Ezra and the Mandalorian strike team reach the Interdictor's hull. They fight off TIEs and troopers, and finally disable the ship. The hull ruptured, the Interdictor explodes.

Frustrated, Governor Pryce orders Kallus thrown out the airlock, but he escapes and finds his way into an escape pod. The Ghost receives Kallus' transmission and picks him up; with the Interdictor gone, the surviving rebel ships make the jump to lightspeed.

The Bendu has been shot down, and Thrawn approaches, ready to execute it. "I see your defeat," Bendu says. "Like many arms surrounding you in a cold embrace." Thrawn fires, but Bendu vanishes. His laugh echoes.

The rebels are battered, but ready for what's next -- including a trip to Yavin. "There's a future for us," Kanan says. "One where we're all free. But it's up to us to make it happen."
