The Toth and Skout thread is certainly the strongest, adding to their initial scenes in the first few episodes and the little name drops about Toth’s connection to the Yaddala and reasons for helping Don Paragon. We have three incongruent plot threads that work fine on their own, are all somewhat related, but don’t quite mesh: Toth and Skout, the Nomad’s arrival in the fort, and the storybook exposition about El Rey. The last episode of the first half is more or less the same level of quality from last week, which is a good sign moving forward and into the seasonal break, but it also has a bit of an odd mixture. The Nomad awakens in the fort, his time there appeared a dream and continues his quest through the desert. But to do all of this, Toth must leave Skout behind. In addition, the Don will become the first new governor in over a century, and gain all of the power it entails.
With excuses no longer working and progress on capturing the Nomad stalling, the Don grabs her by the proverbial short hairs and reminds her of their deal: She captures the Nomad, the Don gives the Nomad’s magic to the Yaddala so they can survive. She wakes up days later back at the Oasis, while Toth gets another tongue-lashing from Don Paragon. Enraged, Toth takes the creature out with another swing but sees Skout is losing blood fast. Skout manages to nail one of its scales with the ax but gets swatted by its tail. Outside the storm, Toth manages to encourage Skout to enter with her, but they are soon attacked by some sort…lightning stego-rhino? Going by Turn Based RPG Rules, Toth holds her own well enough but is struck down. It’s hard to tell with no dialogue, even though the visuals are quite nice. …assuming he wasn’t already called that when he became king. He then ordered his governors to separate corners of the kingdom and was from then on known as El Rey. To quell an oncoming rebellion, he changed his soldiers into monsters and destroyed any and all who stood against him. The king began ordering every magic user to his castle, draining their power for himself and depleting the land’s natural resources in the process.
He ordered his guards bring him someone else informed in magic, but once they arrived, the crown reactivated and consumed the magician, regaining its power and the king’s former youth. However, as he grew older, his powers weakened, and the crown became dormant. With his power, he fed the hungry, healed the wounded and sick, and generally had good approval ratings all around. They center around a young warrior who braved many feats, challenges, and foes to claim a magic golden crown, using its power to become a king. Suddenly, the Nomad begins having visions of some kind. The woman doesn’t seem to mind, deciding to give him a tour of the fort. The Nomad is saddened by her kindness, knowing he is the only magic left, and telling her upfront he has a bounty. Hunkering down to rest (and making a couple rock friends to keep him company), he decides to sleep, waking up to an odd old woman who welcomes him and is pleased to see magic still alive. Braving the dusty winds and random lightning strikes (which apparently do actually happen in sandstorms sometimes), he finds an abandoned fort adorned with mysterious crowned eye crests. The Nomad flees in terror from a persistent Skout and Toth, soon facing a sandstorm. He reveals that he’s out here to get revenge.Old woman pronounces “gift” with a soft G?! 0/10! But after the two share their past trauma of Imperial prisons, Skeen notes that “The axe forgets, but the tree remembers,” meaning that an injured person remembers their wounds, but the one who hurt them often forgets the damage they’ve done. Then the one on his arm is “By the Hand,” which could mean a number of things in a deep cut of Star Wars lore. Cassian says, “Krayt head,” implying that Skeen’s prison gang might have had something to do with the Krayt dragons of Tatooine. One is a barcode that looks like Skeen was in an Imperial prison. When Cassian comes over, he can identify some of Skeen’s tattoos. It’s clear that no one trusts Cassian in this ragtag group of Rebels, least of all Skeen. Skeen explains that Val asked him to go through it. Then he sees Skeen going through it across the way. Then, as Cassian Andor wakes up in the Rebel camp, he notices his bag is missing. Later in the episode, we see him pull up the image of Cassian’s mug shot in some vow to redeem himself, whether he’s allowed to or not.
Though his mother assures him that she will help him, Karn is deeply frustrated. Karn attempts to retain some of his masculinity but is forced to admit that he has no other plans and nowhere else to go. The children’s cereal and ample amounts of food play up that degrading feeling of returning to live in your parent’s house due to some severe failure in your career.
