Mike and Mike sit in one of the Mike's garage and discuss the brightest timeline for season 5 of Mando and the baby. The Mandalorian arrives with Grogu on Tython, and finds the ancient temple on top of a mountain. He seats Grogu at the center so that he may choose his path. Grogu meditates, and a protective Force field appears around him. Boba Fett arrives with the mercenary Fennec Shand, whose life he saved on Tatooine, and demands the return of his Mandalorian armor. Following a tense confrontation, the Mandalorian agrees to trade the armor for the safety of Grogu. Two shuttles arrive, disgorging stormtroopers who attempt to capture Grogu. Honoring their agreement, Fett, Shand, and the Mandalorian join forces to harry the advancing stormtroopers, inflicting heavy casualties. Moff Gideon arrives in an Imperial starcruiser and destroys the Mandalorian's ship Razor Crest from high overhead. Gideon sends out four robotic Dark Troopers, who kidnap Grogu and take him aboard their cruiser before fleeing. Fett and Shand agree to help the Mandalorian save Grogu to honor their debt. The Mandalorian seeks the now Republic Marshal Cara Dune's help in breaking out the criminal Mayfeld in order to track Gideon and rescue Grogu. Impressed with Grogu's Force powers, Moff Gideon informs Dr. Pershing that they have the donor.
