I almost didn't recognize C-3PO without his red arm. I wish Ray was still alive because I want to know how Baylan's story ends and I don't think it'll be wrapped next episode.
Given Baylan's general attitude and goals, I kind of expected him to suggest he and Ahsoka both just pass by and attend to their own business. I don't think he needs to fight her to accomplish whatever he's doing. Though I suppose he might have wanted to buy time for Shin.
Yeah, he wanted Shin to go off and do her own thing, without Ahsoka interfering. But now that Ahsoka beat him, he's basically like "fair enough" and continuing with whatever it is he's looking for. That's how I see it.
There was a joyful goofiness to Ezra's fighting that hit me in the Rebels Nostalgia. I like that thus far he is not evil Ezra. Seeding that disbelief that Sidious is really dead...leave it to Filoni to have to go back to redeem the films lol
Highlights for me:
Threepio
Ezra fighting like a monk
I wish they leaned into his force fighting a bit more. Like a tame version of Mace Windu in the old clone wars show lol
Ah yes. It was kind of like that! I thought it was pretty cool, I wanted more.
Monk fighting was great, although he seemed surprised by Shen giving him a little force push back.
It was great seeing 3PO and watching Kung Fu
Thrawn as always is so insidious and it always makes the heroes feeling confused and somewhat unsatisfied with the victory.
We'll just have to see if they can make it to the Star Destroyer in time and somehow hitch a ride. Or will they have to wait for space whales in the end again. Although I doubt they'd want to visit anytime soon.

They don't seem to visit that often anyway. Surely Thrawn and/or Ezra would've tried to hitch a ride back at some point in the past 11 years if more whales had shown up.
Kind of a letdown for the penultimate episode. Hopefully the finale is big.
I've really enjoyed this series so far, but this episode didn't progress much
It got all the Jedi together and showed off Thrawn as a very capable villain with non-tradional imperial tactics. I really liked it.
I thought it was an ok episode. Much like I think the show has been ok. The finale will certainly influence my final impression. I have a feeling that I will see the show similarly to how I saw Kenobi, which was a mixed bag of highs and lows that would have been better served by being a focused 2–3 hour film instead of a several hour season. Andor and peak Mandalorian this show is not.
