The Bad Batch Episode 8 BREAKDOWN She's Coming Finally

This episode was a mix between a side mission of a side mission and Omega teaching Crosshair to meditate.

Fee gives them some intel on M-Count’s information, and informs them that the Empire has been hiring bounty hunters to capture beings with a high M-Count, so meaning, Jedi or just beings who have a higher midichlorian. The Bad Batch tell her Fennec Shand the bounty hunter would know. Hunter tells her that Fennec was hired by the Kaminoans to capture Omega, and she might know the intel on this M-Count business.

Hunter makes Omega stay with Crosshair, while Wrecker and Hunter go to find Fennec.

Meeting her in a bar, they tell her what they’re looking for, and she hits us with a side mission, if you do this for me, I’ll tell you what you want to know type of deal.

There’s a bounty on a praying mantis, they have to go to a swampy planet to get him, so they do, disable some mines, fight some gators, and bag the bounty.

Crosshair tries to fix his hand by getting it examined by AZ and they deduce that it’s all in his head from the rough experiments they did on him in Tantis. I think they probably mentally broke him and he feels traumatized so he’s always having anxiety now.

So while Wrecker Fennec and Hunter bag the bounty, Crosshair learns meditation from Omega. This will most likely heal him and he’ll have steady aim again.

She learned Jedi meditation from Gungi the Jedi. It makes me wonder if her or crosshair meditating will develop their possible force powers somehow, assuming they have any. Especially considering Omega has blood that connects to Palpatine’s M-Count, or she has M-Count adaptable blood, will she now become stronger in the force? I think it’s leading into that.

Upon the success of the mission, Fennec drops Wrecker and Hunter off at their docking bay, and tells them she’ll be in touch once she gets their information. She blasts off into space and calls who I think is Asajj Ventress, who is a bounty hunter, who is supposed to be dead, but I guess the books in canon don’t matter anymore. Her theme song can be heard during this scene, the same one from the Clone Wars.

In the next episode I think Asajj will probably track the bad batch down and try to capture Omega for the Empire because at the end of the day, that’s a bigger bounty than anything.
