Star Wars: The Dangerous Batch season 2 episode 14 units up for what is certain to be an epic finale, which airs subsequent week in two elements.
Contemplating that he has fired again on the Empire, fairly actually, it ought to come as no shock to viewers to see Crossfire remaining as a prisoner this episode. Whereas it appears like we have been lastly getting someplace with the principle storyline with Hunter, Tech, Wrecker, and Omega, it’s good to see what’s going on with Crosshair, in hopes that they may all reunite prior to later.
Don’t fear, Clone Power 99 is just not pushed fully to the facet on this episode, nonetheless. Plainly a reunion is nearer than ever.
Warning: Spoilers forward for Star Wars: The Dangerous Batch season 2 episode 14.
Within the first second of the episode followers will witness much more clones being taken prisoner because the Empire is raring to scrub their fingers of them. As soon as the ship is leaving the planet, it finds itself beneath assault. The surprising reveal is simply who’s attacking the ship – Captain Rex and Echo, who we haven’t seen for a while now – are behind it.
Lastly, Some Nice Motion
Viewers are handled to an unbelievable rating throughout the back-and-forth between the ships, which delivers some nice motion as effectively. Rex docks on the Empire jail transport and assaults from inside. The Captain of the ship initiates protocol and orders the information logs to be erased earlier than they are often accessed by the insurgents.
It’s clone versus trooper as Rex and his followers make their means by the Empire’s ship. From their orders it’s clear they’re there to free the clones which have been taken prisoner by the Empire. As we’ve seen all through the season, the Empire has no want for them anymore and has begun changing them. They’ve had no respect for them for the reason that starting, however it’s only getting worse.
After liberating the clones, they attempt to get data from the Imperial Officer on board. Because the knowledge is being erased, meaning they should depend on him for intel, and so they aren’t afraid to press him. The Officer stays loyal to the Empire nonetheless, and kills himself earlier than they’ll get him to speak.
The clones pull what they’ll out of the information that’s left and simply barely make it off the ship. Due to an intense rating, this feels extraordinarily excessive stakes – in all probability the best stakes of the season up to now – which solely provides to the suspense.
Crosshair Is Supplied A Deal
Crosshair was not one of many clones that was rescued nonetheless, as he was already on the location this ship was on its technique to, hinting that maybe Rex and Echo will discover their technique to the ability due to the information they stole. We see Crosshair with Physician Hemlock, who is kind of ominous.
He explains to Crosshair that he’s not there as a result of he shot his commanding officer, however as a result of the physician needs to provide him a clear slate. He needs to know the right way to discover Clone Power 99 as a result of they’re in possession of one thing he wants. Crosshair laughs earlier than letting the physician know that he’s losing his time – they may by no means flip Omega over.
Contemplating that Omega is a clone, and subsequently Imperial property, he states they gained’t have a selection. If Crosshair needs his freedom, all he must do is assist them out. Whereas Crosshair doesn’t know the place they’re at this second, the physician states he should have some data that can assist them. He is aware of how they suppose in any case.
Whereas the physician is torturing Crosshair for data, he’s knowledgeable of the assault on their ship and advised that the clones onboard escaped.
In the meantime, Echo learns the clones have been being charged with questioning an officer and that others who have been transported off the planet by no means returned. He didn’t get the total knowledge, however he believes he is aware of somebody who can decipher what he did.
A Daring Escape Try
Crosshair has at all times been a resourceful one, so it’s not in any respect shocking when he fakes passing out from the torture techniques after which assaults as quickly as they launch the restraints. The nurse / scientist who was watching over him tries to cease him, telling him there isn’t a escape, however he shoots her anyway and takes her keycard.
Over the course of the following jiffy, we see Crosshair going up in opposition to quite a few Stormtroopers. In fact, he is superb at what he does, therefore the identify, so it’s not a lot of a problem to him.
As soon as he will get to the principle controls, he makes use of her card to finish an outgoing transmission to Clone Power 99, telling them they should cover. He doesn’t get a lot out earlier than they shut down the system and fuel the room he’s in.
A Reunion In Pabu
Again on Pabu, we study that the contact Echo was speaking about is Clone Power 99. Probably Tech, however it’s Hunter who’s speaking about it with the Mayor. We see the residents of Pabu working onerous to rebuild after the water surge which occurred final episode, and it appears they’re doing a fantastic job and shifting alongside rapidly. Tech is giving Omega flying classes, which provides a little bit of humor and enjoyable as she is just not the perfect at it but.
Whereas this is happening, Echo enters the air as effectively. Omega may be very excited to see him (for those who recall she was fairly upset when he left) and radios to him. He tells her they’ll race to the touchdown zone, which Tech doesn’t discover to be an excellent thought. In fact, they do it anyway and Echo wins. Hunter has simply sufficient time to inform him that they reevaluated issues with Cid earlier than Omega comes operating as much as him, gleefully.
Echo asks Hunter in the event that they plan to remain on Pabu indefinitely and whereas Hunter admits they haven’t made up their thoughts but, he says he thinks it’s what’s finest for him. On the similar time, Wrecker and Omega are taking part in close by, and Hunter and Echo look on fortunately.
As for what Echo has been doing, he explains that he and Rex have arrange a community of clones and they don’t seem to be prepared to surrender the battle in opposition to the Empire. Simply then, Tech radios Hunter letting him know that he has decrypted the information.
Tarkin Asks For A Plan
Concurrently Helock is talking with Governor Tarkin concerning the assault on their transport ship and the escaped clones. Tarkin is anxious that the stolen knowledge will compromise their location, however the physician assures him there are protocols in place to cease that from occurring. He’s, nonetheless, anxious, that there was a leak to the clones that attacked them from inside.
The physician doesn’t consider that merely decommissioning problematic clones is sufficient, he needs to cope with them in… different methods. Tarkin asks him for a full plan, after which he’ll take into account it.
Tech Deciphers The Knowledge
Again on the Marauder, Tech explains what he has found. The Imperial transport that Echo hijacked was assigned to the Advances Science Division, of which there are not any data of the placement or function. All Tech may discover is the chief scientist’s identify – Physician Royce Hemlock, an officer who was expelled from the Republic science corps because of unauthorized and unorthodox experiments.
Tech was capable of decipher the prisoner data as effectively, and has realized that Crosshair is likely one of the prisoners that was despatched there. Hunter and Wrecker are shocked to study that Crosshair has turned on the Empire. Tech solidifies thought with proof – he checked their previous comm logs and located the warning that Crosshair had despatched out to them telling them to cover.
Clone Power 99 is just not certain if that is for actual or if Crosshaair is setting yet one more lure for them.
The Dangerous Batch season 2 episode 14 ends with Hemlock coming to Crosshair and telling him the one means he’ll be capable to go away is that if he permits it. He as soon as once more tries to get Crosshair to assist him out within the hunt for Omega, however Crosshair stays silent. This time Hemlock orders the injection stage to be elevated, and he begins torturing him once more – decided to interrupt him.
Total Ideas
This episode does a fantastic job of beginning to tie collectively the unfastened ends which have been sprinkled all through the season, and the collection. It began out with an action-packed battle sequence, after which frolicked reconnecting with some characters we’ve not seen shortly.
It’s possible that Crosshair will find yourself reuniting with Clone Power 99 due to his newfound hatred for the Empire and their data that he has been taken prisoner. We already know that any of the clones would put their life down to save lots of Omega, let’s simply hope it doesn’t come to that.
The ultimate two episodes of Star Wars: The Dangerous Batch air collectively subsequent Wednesday on Disney+, and it’s certain to be fairly a finale.
