This episode was filled with twists and turns, and it was exhilarating! Can't believe the Prison actually got worse, but at least it finally brings Kino around to Andor's plan; but now Mon is being tested, and I'm eager to see if she'll become a little greyer in her morality.

Even though this is yet another great episode it's one of the weaker ones in my opinion. The competition is just so high. I quite like Dedra's fishing net metaphor. The Empire is fishing for the rebels, catching all sorts of random scoundrels in their net along the way. Some of her colleagues think anything caught in the net is a fish but Dedra has the clarity to see that a lot, perhaps even most of the people they catch are not rebels and are therefore either waste of interrogation resources or potentially wiling sources of information. When she asks if Bix is a fish or a thief, she's either a rebel and will suffer the consequences or she's a mere thief who got caught in her rebel fishing net. If she is a thief, she has no reason not to co-operate and perhaps even benefit from the situation. "Seems a shame to end up on the carving board if your motivation here is just money." There are a couple of details regarding the medic scene. The medtech doesn't appear to have any equipment with him beyond examining and euthanasia stuff. When he first tells the guard they need a bag and a trolley it's apparently already on its way. It seems the only purpose of a medic there is to assess if someone can continue working and euthanise them if the answer is no. Could also be that he was told that the patient was an old man so he chose to only bring the euthanasia equipment but who knows. The prisoner mistake was likely just that the prisoner ended up in the same prison he left from, which made it possible for people to confirm his story of being just released from another level. If he ended up in another prison, as was presumably the Empire's plan, he'd have a hard time convincing people that he had just been moved from another prison when he should have been set free. Sure when it would happen enough people would catch on regardless but short term I could see it succeeding in keeping people indefinitely without breaking everyone's work morale. Syril confronts his mother snooping into his stuff, she turns it into yet another lecture which suddenly turns into praise the moment she finds out about his promotion, despite that promotion changing none of the things she was lecturing him about. She's such a painfully realistic character and I am thankful my parents aren't like that. No wonder Syril crew up to be the kind of a person to unnerve an ISB supervisor which is an accomplishment in itself. Then we get more on Mon, her dilemma of staying pure or having to go grey which you put quite well. We find out Vel is her cousin and that they took a vow for the rebellion. Mon is clearly having second thoughts which Vel swiftly puts into rest, even reminding her that they don't speak of Luthen. Vel also uses almost exact words Cinta told her. "The Rebellion comes first, we take what's left"

Another great episode, and the best is yet to come! Who doesn't love a good prison break? Every episode, I just want the reaction for the next, and man, episode 10 is one of the best episodes. I loved Syril's awkward "small talk" with Dedra.... I think he sees in Dedra what he aspires to be in life, and that is why he is so obsessed with her and what she is doing, can't wait to see how their relationship will evolve Vel and Mon.. no one saw that coming!! In episode 7, Mon tells Tay that only 3 people in the galaxy know what she is doing: So, Vel, Luthen, Kleya, and/or Bail? Anyway, I'm glad she has someone on her side to talk about the rebellion. The final shot of Mon when Vel leaves, and she is alone in that room, says it all about how she lives her life; that is a great example of how cinematography helps in the storytelling, and I think that's beautiful. How many guards are on each leave? Never more than twelve!

I kinda agree with this, the major focus on this episode is getting the answer out of Kino and while I do love how they did that and utilized it to make the entire episode around it, I can understand that compared to the other episodes it does feel weaker with how much the others do. Absolutely loved the fishing metaphor, we’re getting such great ways of understanding how the ISB operates from this show, first with them being the health care of the Empire and now to this operation being an act of fishing and considering everything they catch to be Rebels. It explains their approach perfectly and sets up why Dedra is so different with how she sees things, all her colleagues don’t look as closely and get too much caught in the crossfire while she is meticulous, she saves the Empire resources and gets better results. This is such a good catch, I was surprised that the prison actually offered medical assistant to anyone here instead of just replacing them since the latter would be cheaper. But it’s such a good detail that the Empire essentially forces this medic to just be an executioner, only carrying around euthanasia equipment without giving them the option of trying to save their lives, and the then fact that the trolley and bag were already on their way is just damming, they now that someone is injured or ill and they just want them gone. The Empire’s actually plan is terrifyingly effective with the prisons, moving prisoners around instead of releasing them would drive an inmate insane and I’m sure they’d hope that after they had been moved, their hope would simply die, and they wouldn’t even try to fight. Messing up like this only caused anger and it exposed how limited their guard situation is as it allowed a mistake like this to get through. This system would allow the Empire a never-ending workforce that would constantly expand, whatever they’re building in here must be huge to require a workforce of this capacity. Seeing Syril’s mother makes me so grateful for my own parents 😂 It explains so well how he ended up the person he is and I completely agree, the best part about her character is how realistic she is and how there are people out there that have parents like this. I love seeing Mon’s dilemma in this episode, she’s been someone I’ve seen as so pure for so long so it’s nice seeing her toy with becoming greyer to save herself, makes me really look forward to how her side of things will work out to line up with where we know she ends up. Vel being her cousin was so insane, but I love what it adds to her, having her family involved like this and actively fighting is so nice as her situation is so difficult so it’s awesome that she has this kind of encouragement.

This episode was just amazing; I love so much that the main idea was just getting Kino on board as it really stressed how difficult this entire situation is! Episode 10 though was really something else!! Syril truly is something, he definitely sees Dedra as the ideal of the Empire and that means he’d be insanely attracted to her 😬 and with this man being his obsessive self, staking her would just come naturally to him. Honestly with how she handled the situation, it makes me think he just fell for her more, having her stay focused and driven and want to carry on with her day is something he’d aspire to be like, so this probably only strengthens his resolve. Vel and Mon being cousins was such an amazing twist, and I love how it was set up with how we were introduced to Vel, seeing her all rural and rugged, a front-line soldier for the Rebellion only to find out she comes from some of the wealthiest parts of the Star Wars universe. Completely agree! The cinematography of Vel leaving Mon just standing there was perfect at conveying their story, it’s really shows off how well a simple shot like this can elevate a scene so much. The final lines were so awesome and made me so pumped for the next episode!! Kino’s finally on board and now an escape attempt can truly begin!
