Last week was quite disappointing but this week makes up for it. Really solid episode.
I might be alone in this but there was a real Rebels feel to the episode, especially the interactions between the batch and Rampart and the humour between them really worked for me.
Before talking about the plot, the visuals in this episode were phenomenal - that cloud city shot early on was like a painting and all of the wide shots of a sunny Tantiss were amazing. I loved one small scene where they showed the Vault from above - really really nice. Also the music in the Vault was excellent, I liked it when Omega was trying to escape. I hope they release all the Tantiss music. The Kiner's have done an outstanding job creating almost timeless soundscapes for each episode on Tantiss making each one unique but fit together.
Speaking of Omega, she was quite serious and almost sinister in this episode which was good. Seeing her character adapt from child in the batch to adult in the Vault was realistic. I liked her interactions with Emeri too. The one scientist who was onto her was a little odd cause we've like never seen them before but it made sense - there are going to be jealous scientists who want the job and are going to notice stuff.
With the Batch, I liked the mission. Unlike last week where it felt quite predictable, this time felt more fluid and interesting. There was a logical progression of events rather than just get this person which was nice. Again very rebels vibes with the impersonating. Obviously it is ridiculous when they are able to not only enter a top secret base but then attach onto a secret top security shuttle with ease but it's nothing we haven't seen before in Star Wars.
Overall, I was a big fan of the episode and good to see the plot really moving forward. Fingers crossed next week's episode is another banger.
