Ahsoka says she will help Maul, but wants to know one thing -- what does he want with Anakin Skywalker? Maul says that Skywalker is the key to everything: not to bring balance to the Force, but to destroy as Sidious' new apprentice. "You lie!" Ahsoka fires back. Maul continues, saying he orchestrated this entire conflict to draw Skywalker out and destroy him, thus depriving Sidious of his prized pupil. In response, Tano ignites her lightsabers.

"I see the Padawan needs one last lesson," Maul says. He activates his double-bladed weapon and unleashes a flurry of attacks. But Ahsoka stands her ground, ultimately sending the former Sith through a window.

Meanwhile, the battle in the city rages, with Republic forces gaining the upper hand. Saxon contacts Maul for help, but the servant of the dark side is uninterested. "Any moment my ship will be arriving. Die well, Mandalorian," he says. But his escape will not be so easy, as Ahsoka finds Maul in rafters high above ground.

Their duel continues, an elegant display of combat as they balance on narrow beams and trade blows. Maul's ship arrives, but Tano does not relent. She follows him upward before he can leave, and the battle continues. Finally, Maul disarms Ahsoka and slices the beam between them.

Below, the clones have gained control of the city and Rex has arrested Saxon. Seeing Ahsoka is in trouble, Rex readies a ship.

Maul offers Ahsoka one last chance to join him. "Never," she says, drawing Maul's anger. He moves toward her, blades swinging, but she evades his attack and throws him downward -- grabbing him through the Force at the last second.

"Let me go! Let me die!" he pleads. Maul grows increasingly panicked as Rex and the clones pull in. "You're all going to burn! We're all going to die! You don't know what you're doing!" Rex hits Maul with a stun shot, and Republic forces pull him in.

Ahsoka stands, gazing upward, pondering all that has been and what might be coming.
