The Bad Batch stumbles into a leftover thread from the Clone Wars that makes them question what exactly is Emperor Palpatine up to.

In this fully armed and operational episode, we discuss:

• The Bad Batch's confrontation with Cid and the potential repercussions,
• Dr. Hemlock's introduction,
• How this episode ties to The Rise of Skywalker, The Mandalorian, The Clone Wars, and other Star Wars content,
• The reveal of the monster and the structure of the reveal, and
• What this episode may mean for the Bad Batch going forward.

We replayed this episode after discussing similar plot points recently in episode 930 and 933. Make sure to check them out if you haven't already.
