Episode Overview: Andor Season 2, Episode 7 – "The Messenger"

Happy New Year, 2026!

Hunter and Jessica are finally back to break down the calm before the storm in Andor Season 2, Episode 7, "The Messenger".

In this episode, the Empire is busy staging false flag operations, and Dedra Meero is choking on her ambitions while trying to keep Syril Karn in line.

Jessica has some choice words for Dedra's manipulation tactics, describing her farewell to Syril as the "most unpassionate kiss ever"—akin to kissing a "stranger's dog". Meanwhile, on Yavin, a Force healer gets inside Cassian’s head (and shoulder), planting the seeds for Bix to realize she might be holding him back from his destiny. From Mon Mothma’s senate struggles to the "dead meat" rookie troopers arriving on Gorman, the hosts analyze how all the pieces are being placed for a massive catastrophe.
