In the thrilling thirteenth episode of Star Wars: The Bad Batch's third season, the tale leads us back to the enigmatic Tantiss hideout, where Omega's path intersects with a sorrowful reality. She encounters her fellow child captives, Eva, Jax, Sami, and Bayrn, who, with weighted voices, paint a grim picture of their oppressive existence.
As Hunter, Wrecker, and Crosshair converge with Echo, dragging Admiral Rampart into their fold, they embark on a daring scheme. Harnessing Echo's pilfered Imperial shuttle and Rampart's invaluable intel, the Bad Batch weaves a cunning plan to infiltrate a space station hovering above the bustling Coruscant. Their ultimate goal: to intercept a vessel bound for Tantiss and tail it discreetly.
In a stealthy maneuver within the confines of her cell, Omega conducts a blood test while slyly extracting a minute pick-like tool from Emerie's supplies. Her heart aflutter with resolve, she confides in her comrades, igniting a spark of hope within their despair. She uncovers a secret passage, a narrow chute meant for blood samples, and plots her daring escape, intent on freeing them all from their confinement.
The Bad Batch successfully breaches the space station's defenses but faces a roadblock: the elusive coordinates to Tantiss remain elusive. In a desperate move, they devise a bold strategy—clinging to the underbelly of a cargo ship bound for their destination.
Echo, a master of subterfuge, exploits the droid chute's suction capabilities to sneak aboard the Imperial vessel stealthily. His comrades, meanwhile, hustle back to their commandeered shuttle, engaging in a heart-pounding race against time to catch up with the departing craft. Echo, working against the clock, narrowly disables the proximity sensors, clearing the path for the Batch's impromptu hitchhike. Hunter, with split-second precision, engages the magnetic locks, and the two ships blur into hyperspace, their sights set firmly on Tantiss, the stage for the next chapter of their daring adventure.
