Following a tense pursuit, the Mandalorian and Cara Dune board Dr. Pershing's shuttle and take the Imperial captive. Next, the Mandalorian returns to Trask where he recruits Bo-Katan and Koska Reeves for the mission to save the Child. Bo-Katan makes it clear that she wants Gideon's weapon: the Darksaber.

En route to Gideon's ship, Dr. Pershing informs the group that a garrison of dark troopers -- the advanced droids that captured the Child -- is waiting. With that, they decide on a plan: Once they board the cruiser, Bo-Katan, Koska, Cara Dune, and Fennec Shand will lead the attack and take the bridge; the Mandalorian will follow alone, eliminate the dark troopers, and recover the Child.

They arrive in orbit of Gideon's cruiser. Bo-Katan pilots the stolen Imperial shuttle and sends a distress call; when the cruiser dispatches TIE fighters, Bo-Katan makes a desperate landing in the launch tube.

The crew emerge and begin to fight their way to the bridge. Meanwhile, Moff Gideon orders the dark troopers activated, and the Mandalorian covertly seeks out the droid soldiers.

As Bo-Katan's group continues through the ship, the Mandalorian reaches the dark trooper holding bay. After a brutal battle with just one of the droids, he jettisons the remaining garrison out the airlock.

Finally, Bo-Katan's squad takes the bridge and the Mandalorian reaches the Child's cell...where he finds Moff Gideon guarding the tiny being, Darksaber ignited. They battle, and the Mandalorian eventually bests the Imperial.

The Mandalorian, carrying the Child and with the Darksaber in hand, brings Gideon to the bridge. But Bo-Katan seems disturbed. To claim ownership of the Darksaber, one must win it in battle, Gideon explains.

Suddenly, alarms sound: the dark troopers have returned! When the platoon reaches the bridge, the mechanical terrors begin to ram the blast doors...until an X-wing arrives.

Emerging from the rebel fighter, a cloaked figure stalks through the ship before finally arriving at the corridor to the bridge. Wielding a green-bladed lightsaber, the warrior destroys the dark troopers methodically.

The warrior is indeed a Jedi, and has come for Grogu. "I'll see you again," the Mandalorian says to the Child. "I promise."
