The fourth episode opens with Sabine trying to find a way to get the ship back up and running after last week's attack. Ahsoka is outside contemplating their next steps. Since the ship is down and their enemy has the map to find Ezra/Thrawn she knows they have to stop them. Even if that means they can’t go on the journey themselves. As Sabine and Ahsoka plot their next move a droid is seen in the brush observing them.
Baylan and Shin found Ahsoka’s ship and are sending people after it. Morgan asks Baylan if there’s a sense of fear in his voice and he brushes her off. Ahsoka and Sabine are back on the ship talking about Ezra. Ahsoka says they have to do what’s right regardless of their feelings. Sabine doesn’t want to hear that but accepts it reluctantly. Huyang is working on the ship when an enemy droid ambushes him with three other enemies flanking him. Ahsoka and Sabine fight them off relatively quickly.
Morgan is manipulating the map so everyone can see where Thrawn’s coordinates are. Ahsoka and Sabine are searching for Baylan’s base on foot and they find Shin waiting for them. Shin gets the better of Sabine briefly as Ahsoka finishes off her attacker. Sabine tells her to go get the map as she’s battling Shin. Ahsoka approaches Baylan’s base and she sees the map. Baylan says “Anakin spoke highly of you”, She retorts “Well he never mentioned you.” Baylan says he isn’t starting a war but Thrawn will.
They draw their lightsabers and begin dueling. Morgan begins assessing the coordinates as they’ll be ready soon. Ahsoka’s doing everything she can to get the map and get out of there but Baylan is a staunch opponent. However, she knocks him down and gets the map. Shin retreated from Sabine to aid Baylan against Ahsoka. Baylan gets up and has Ahsoka on the brink and she falls over the side of the ruins. Sabine has the map and Baylan tells her to destroy it. She’s trying to persuade her by saying they have a common goal of finding what’s on the other end of that map. His speech works and she gives the map to him.
Hera and other rebels are on their way to stop Baylan’s ship from taking off. Their ships are directly in front of Baylan’s and Morgan says to ignore them and engage hyperdrive. The jump sends the rebel ships into chaos as they crash into each other and fall of course. Ahsoka is in limbo as she hears a voice and it’s Anakin saying she didn’t expect to see her so soon as the episode ends.
The fourth installment of Ahsoka had a little bit of everything. It boasted a few solid lightsaber duels, some tension with Baylan and Ahsoka, and we finally saw Anakin appear albeit for a brief moment. It brought up some compelling questions as well. Where does Sabine’s loyalty lie after Baylan’s speech, how will Ahsoka find them after Baylan destroys the map? This episode was a huge step up from last week.
New episodes of Ahsoka debut on Disney+ every Tuesday night.
