Welcome back, Batchers! Let's get this bread. In this episode, Julia and Becca are back with our trusty character, theme and plot analysis. And, of course, don't forget the goofs.

Talking points include: we're back talking about good female characters! good autonomy & agency for Omega & her relationships with others, the toxic relationship between Jedi and Star Wars media (hear me out), when tropes are appropriate & when are are played out and no longer serve the story and characters, storytelling through lighting and composition, now it's HemlockWatch 2024: where is he and what's in his basement?, why Ventress was the perfect choice for this episode, oh god, please don't make Omega be a Jedi, the Batch has come full circle, the intentional of vagueness in this episode, & monster of the week talk (feat. our new squid son).

Talking points include: More talk about how this episode fits into the greater season than the actual plot of the episode, when you're here, you're family, a brief vacation Echo interlude, when is the right time to payoff what you've set up, they're keeping us guessing on where we're going, The Convergence™, and where in the Heck is Charlie Rampart.
