After the underwhelming nature of the last episode, they came back with an explosion. The episode began with an epic space battle that did justice to the great nature of the show. We saw the grand return of Grand Admiral Thrawn and his role in the episode was that of a great antagonist, something we have been missing ever since last season. A lot of the episode was focused on Hera and her attempts to escape the Empire, and usually, I like the episodes where the entire crew are together, but with this episode being a lead-up to the finale of the series, I accept that they'll have to focus a little more time on the individual characters. And Hera is one of the best, so to see her for an entire episode was not a bad thing. I felt like the battle had an ending that was a little too abrupt for something of that importance, but it didn't do much to ruin the episode for me. The episode was strong and had some great action sequences, and Hera really stepped in as a leader here. I'm excited to see what's going to happen next, and I hope that something good will come for our heroes in the future.
