Summary:
Din Djarin visits Peli Motto on Tatooine during the Boonta Eve festival in search of a new memory chip for IG-11. She does not have one but instead sells him R5-D4. Djarin, Grogu, and R5 fly to Mandalore, where Djarin orders R5 to scout ahead and ensure that the atmosphere is non-toxic. When R5 does not return, Djarin ventures after it and is attacked by several Alamites, a native troll-like species living in the caves. Heading deeper into the mines, Djarin is captured by a cyborg creature and sends Grogu for Bo-Katan’s help. Bo-Katan rescues Djarin and kills the cyborg before leading Djarin to the Living Waters. Djarin begins to recite the creed to restore himself as a Mandalorian. However, a sudden drop-off causes him to sink deep into the water. Bo-Katan dives in to save him. On the way back up, she comes face to face with a Mythosaur.

Picard and his love Laris are planning a trip to Chaltok IV when he receives the message and she encourages him to go.
