On the planet Coruscant, Slip and Cade, two disaffected clone troopers, discuss their mission with Admiral Rampart on Kamino. Cade reveals that he’s shared an ultimatum with the deceptive Imperial Officer. Either Rampart reveals his part in the destruction of Kamino or Cade will tell the Senate himself. But a sniper bullet rings out and Cade is silenced, sending Slip on the run.
In the senate, Emperor Palapatine’s representative Mas Amedda, warns that following the destruction of the cloning facilities on Kamino and the accelerated aging of the clone army a new military needs to be formed. Admiral Rampart has a Galactic Recruitment Bill ready to go but the vocal Senator Riyo Chuchi from the moon of Pantora opposes any new military plan that excludes reparations for the Clone army.
As the clones have no representation in the senate, Chuchi reaches out to troopers to offer her help and meets with Slip who tells her all about Admiral Rampart’s hand in the destruction of Kamino. Senator Bail Organa also suspects the premature end to the clone programme isn’t a coincidence. As Senator Chuchi tries to convince Slip to testify in front of the senate the sniper hits his mark again and Slip is killed. But with the help of former Captain Rex they capture the Sniper and learn he’s been created as the perfect assassin as he kills himself to protect Rampart. Captain Rex calls in The Bad Batch to retrieve the damning evidence from Ramparts Venator to confirm his involvement in the attack.
When it is revealed to the senate, Rampart is arrested and Emperor Palpatine seizes his opportunity. With the revelation that the Clone Troopers are just soldiers who unquestioningly follow orders he proposes a new age heralded by the Imperial Stormtrooper. Realising that they’ve played right into his hands Senator Chuchi vows to continue her fight against him and Echo makes the decision to leave the Bad Batch and help Rex as he can’t turn his back on his Clone brothers.
