Crosshair is assigned to Commander Cody on a mission to the former Separatist planet Desix to undertake a rescue mission after Imperial governor Grotton is captured and taken hostage. After a successful assault, they meet Desix's governor Tawni Ames, who defends her world's uprising after the Republic had rejected her suggestions for peace during the Clone Wars. Cody argues for a peaceful resolution, but Crosshair kills Ames on Grotton's orders and Desix is brought under Imperial control. Returning to Coruscant, Cody questions whether the Empire is really doing good around the galaxy, and deserts soon after.

The Bad Batch plans a risky heist that could put the entire team in danger. As tensions rise, the Batch must decide who to trust as they plan their escape.

Cassian returns to Ferrix for Maarva's funeral and learns of Bix's imprisonment. Dedra Meero and the local Imperial garrison prepare to use the funeral to take Andor alive for questioning regarding Axis, while Luthen plans—with Vel and Cinta's assistance—to kill Cassian using the Imperial ambush as cover. Mon Mothma continues being surveilled by the ISB, who succeed in stopping Kreegyr's attack but leave no prisoners, angering Meero. Mothma's 13-year-old daughter Leida is introduced to Davo Sculdun's 14-year-old son. During the funeral, B2EMO displays a recording of Maarva, who rallies the populace to attack the Empire, creating a riot in the main quarter. During the confusion, Cassian rescues Bix, while Syril Karn saves Meero from being attacked. Meeting with B2EMO, Brasso, and several others in a shipyard, Cassian convinces them to take Bix somewhere safe away from Ferrix. Moved by the rebellion on Ferrix, Luthen returns to his ship where Cassian is waiting. Knowing that Luthen was there to assassinate him, Cassian offers Luthen the choice to either kill him or take him in, to which Luthen smiles. In a post-credits scene, droids assemble the machinery produced by the Narkina 5 prisoners on the firing dish of the Death Star.

Maarva dies, prompting a funeral ceremony on Ferrix, which Meero encourages in the hopes of rooting out rebel activity in the area. Vel informs Kleya about Maarva, and learns of Mon's reluctant plan to marry her daughter to secure funding through Sculdun. Karn also learns about the funeral from Mosk, and makes plans to find Andor himself. Gerrera decides to assist Kreegyr on attacking Spellhaus, but is advised against it by Luthen, citing that the ISB know about the impending assault. On the return to Coruscant, Luthen escapes from an Imperial patrol, destroying several TIE fighters. Cassian and prisoner Ruescott Melshi manage to hitch a ride off of Narkina 5, travelling to Niamos to recover Cassian's belongings. After Cassian discovers Maarva has passed, the pair part ways, intending to expose the unjust prison system of the Empire.
