This show continues to blow me away! Maarva's dead, and Bee's response during all this was just heartbreaking. It's clear now that both the Empire and the Rebellion are going to use the funeral to get to Andor, and I can only imagine how painful the final episode will be when he has to grieve through all this!

Vel: I gave him Aldhani. What have you done lately? Kleya: I don't have lately. I have always. I have a constant blur of plates spinning and knives on the floor and needy, panicked faces at the window, of which you are but one of many. This was Elizabeth Dulau's (Kleya) first big role and first scene she did after she graduated from drama school. I love Kleya; she is a mysterious character. Every scene she is in, we know more about her. Overall, this is a great episode to set all the pieces for the last episode

Alright the end (of the season anyway) is approaching fast. Rest in peace, Maarva. The imperial spy on Ferrix, Corv, is one of Dedra's two attendants. They have been with her, dressed in grey, in most ISB scenes through the season. It seems she left him to keep watch on Ferrix when she returned to Coruscant. We get a brief but great scene between Kleya and Vel, clarifying that Vel doesn't really appreciate Luthen's treatment of her, perhaps feeling insulted that Luthen wont even meet her face to face after she gave him Aldhani. Absolutely love Kleya's "I don't have lately, I have always." She's there for Luthen and the rebellion 24/7 (or whatever timescale Coruscant uses). Also loved her and Luthen's discussion in code as well as the immediate revelation that they had a good reason talk in code, right after you questioned the need for it😁. Luthen's scene with Saw was even better than their last meeting. I never expected to see imperial era Saw struggling with a moral dilemma, even if he ended up in the expected result. It seem's his interactions with Luthen definitely had to do with his descent into paranoia and no wonder. You can't trust anything when Luthen's involved. There's also the neat detail that Saw thinks Kreegyr only has 30 men while Luthen knows it to be 50 but doesn't correct him as it would just make the decision harder. This isn't the only time in the series where numbers change depending on who's telling them and to whom. We learn more about the tradition of Ferrix and I love it. The show does incredible job creating cultures and introducing us to them. The dhanis were another one, even if not nearly as explored. The concept of bricking, remaining a part of your home even after your time has come to an end is a beautiful concept. Then we got the cool scene of Luthen dealing with an imperial patrol. His counter measures to tractor beam were a pleasure to see, as well as his acting which bought him the time needed to charge them. Notably, the countermeasure required the tractor beam to be at high power which he achieved by pretending to make a run for it, thus forcing the imperials to react. We also don't see such massive discs for tractor beams in most ships so this particular method might not be effective against them. This ship, being an arrestor cruiser, had an abnormally powerful tractor beam for it's size, making it vulnerable to such a countermeasure. Luthen's lazers seem to be quite similar to what the republic's LAAT gunships had. Only, Luthen's lazers seem stationary, thus requiring a far closer approach and expert piloting to be effective. And just to twist the knife regarding Mon's decision: Leida isn't 15, she's 13. Mon got married at 15 which is probably where you got the number from.

Oh damn I totally didn't pick up that "30 men" actually wasn't correct and forgot Luthen mentioned it was 50 men last episode 😂😬

I could not love Kleya more after this scene! It’s such a terrific explanation of her character and what she does; having Vel compare her accomplishment, which we witnessed, and have it pale before what Kleya does is insane. Elizabeth is such a talented actress! I would not have guessed this was her first role as she is doing amazing, and I really have to give it to her in how she’s able to craft such a memorable performance while being surrounded by giants of the industry, she’s literally a duo with Skarsguard and she doesn’t get drowned out by him which is so impressive! Completely agree, love this episode for what it does, lots of nice set-up to pave the way for the final episode!
