We return to the story of Ahsoka Tano and the Mendez Sisters. They are imprisoned by the Pyke Syndicate for their deception of a spice shipment. Prisoners taken away to their cells include the Ithorian Hammerhead and the Snivvian Snaggletooth, he wears the blue uniform before it was changed to the correct shorter red form. I’m not certain how these two random Coruscant citizens ended up in Oba Diah. There is arguments between the prisoners. Rafa explains the reason for their distrust of the Jedi.
She begins explaining the prison break of Ziro the Hutt, the uncle to Jabba, who was in the Clone Wars movie. There was a Clone Wars episode, “Hostage Crisis” (2009), that had the escape of Ziro. This incident may have been after the events of the episode, but still on Coruscant. She says the Jedi were leaping speeder to speeder and that there was a “red eyed alien”, this could be Cad Bane, the bounty hunter that freed Ziro. He disabled a cargo transport, the Jedi moved it from a “populated platform” and into a wall. Rodriguez’s delivery is dry and matter-of-fact, there is no emotion of the loss of her parents.

Rafa continued saying a female Jedi tried to console her, “dark robes contrasting against her light green skin”, this points to Jedi Master Luminara Unduli who was seen in Attack of the Clones (2002). She has contempt for the Jedi for abandoning them even though they have a war to fight to save countless innocents. Ahsoka looks regretful having left the Jedi Order. Pyke guards open their cell, Ahsoka is stunned by the guards, and Rafa is taken away. She is placed in an interrogation table with an 8D smelter droid with shocking appendages that make her scream.
Trace admits she helped Ahsoka because her mother would have done the same. Rafa is taken to the cell by the Pyke guards. Trace is then taken to the interrogation room and the Torture Droid (Tom Kane) asks about the spice. She pretends to faint to make her escape. Ahsoka uses the Force to open the cell door and takes away Rafa. Trace is caught by a Pyke guard, but manages to kick the cell door of the Hammerhead. He smashes the guard against the door. Rafa and Trace run into each other. The sister argue with each other, not endearing, as the Pyke guards rush towards them.

Ahsoka gets them running and they reach the outside with Trace blasting a barrel causing an explosion. Rafa leaps across a bridge that retracted, Ahsoka uses the Force to push Trace the extra distance, and Ahsoka easily makes it across in a Force jump. Rafa struggles to get a Pyke’s gun as he is lifted up a platform. She sends Ahsoka to disable a gate. Ahsoka climbs up a tower and takes on Pykes with her Jedi fighting skills. Trace and Rafa get into a shoot out, but Ahsoka slides down the tower and again uses the Force. She recognizes her ship and runs to check on it as Rafa and Ahsoka talk. A drunk Gotal, bearded alien with two horns seen in the cantina, asks for credits and then ends up talking to a group of Pykes.
They bump into a cloaked Mandalorian. Above a rooftop, a trio of Mandalorians see the Mendez sisters taken away and Ahsoka on the run. The leader (Sharmila Devar) recognizes Ahsoka as a Jedi she saw on Carlac, this would be season four’s “A Friend in Need” (2012). The helmet design is from the Death Watch, commandos who look to upset the Mandalorian rule. The leader has a connection with Star Wars: Rebels. The Pykes take the prisoners to the jail and throw a holo projector that shows Marg Krim. He is of course angry at their deceptions and is able to recapture them again. Shouldn’t prisoners who escape together be separated? The torture and the danger of the Pykes really is the fault of Trace who dumped the spice.
