Upon returning to Kalevala, they are attacked by an Imperial TIE squadron. While she and Din were able to fend off the attackers, a large squadron of TIE bombers appears moments after, destroying Bo-Katan's castle.

Plot[edit]
After the Mandalorian recovers from his sudden fall to the depths of the Living Waters, he and Bo-Katan Kryze depart from Mandalore, though Bo-Katan withholds the Mythosaur's existence from him. Upon returning to Kalevala, they are attacked by an Imperial TIE squadron. While she and Din were able to fend off the attackers, a large squadron of TIE bombers appears moments after, destroying Bo-Katan's castle. Enraged, Bo-Katan attempts to pursue the bombers and manages to destroy several of them with heat-seeking missiles, but a massive swarm of TIE interceptors arrive, forcing Bo-Katan and the Mandalorian to flee from Kalevala.
Meanwhile, on Coruscant, Dr. Pershing receives a pardon by the New Republic but is startled to find Elia Kane—a former communications officer who was a part of Moff Gideon's Imperial remnant—among the amnesty program's recipients. Kane declares to assist Pershing in his efforts to continue his cloning research, which has been outlawed by the Republic. They sneak aboard a decommissioned Imperial-class Star Destroyer to steal the necessary materials, but Kane betrays Pershing to the Republic's lawkeepers and keeps the cloning materials. Later, Kane secretly sabotages the mind-wiping procedure used on him, significantly worsening its effect.
Elsewhere, the Mandalorian and Bo-Katan arrive at the secret Mandalorian enclave, where the Mandalorian presents the Armorer with a sample of the Living Waters as proof of his redemption. Having proven himself, the Armorer tells Din that he is redeemed. Because she has also bathed in the Waters, Bo-Katan is welcomed to the enclave as well.
