In the taut transition of team Echo into infiltration mode, Andor finds out that leading comes naturally to Tameryn (Gershwyn Eustache Jnr), because he was once a stormtrooper who has since defected - a shock to his sytem, but also something that gives them good cover alongside Gorn, their mole on the inside. The rebels break up into teams, team Echo One, which are the fellas, and team Valley One, Vel (Faye Marsay) and Cinta (Varada Sethu), who set up devices to scramble comms. Putting a price on faith, a folly that Jayhold sets himself up for. Petigar asks if they know it’d be their last year at the sacred temple and Jayhold tells his superior that their expansion will go as planned, eventually sanctioning a festival as far away as possible so the Empire can pillage the highlands. Put up stops with drink and rest stops, and the numbers dwindle eventually, making the trip not worthwhile. The options are accommodations or good old capitalism - both not ideal options, but the only ones on the table to lure the Dhani’s away from their land and make the trek less feasible.

Of course, it’s by introducing a bit of a swindle and taking advantage of their refusal to accept free things out of pride and cut their losses. Up in his tower Commander Jayhold (Stanley Townsen) is discussing with Colonel Petigar (Richard Katz) how he’s squashed the spirits of the Dhani’s to forego trips en masse to the sacred valley to see the titular eye, the dazzling meteor shower that will cover our rebels’ escape path. It’s such a tender moment, we just knew was going to set us up for some sort of heartbreak, hoping the kid really got through to Andor. “You’ll sleep when it’s done,” Andor responds, recognising in Nemik the young man he used to be. Cleverly for a young mind, Nemik posits how “Clem” could think it’s hopeless, but a sense of assurance washes over young Nemik as he confides in Cassian that he wonders when he’ll get to sleep. A mercenary unique for being there and with the uncaring Empire that doesn’t have to learn outside of anything they can’t control. He asks Cassian how does an insurgency adapt by using the means of mercenary? Cassian’s an unpredictable variable, yes but he can’t believe he wouldn’t be there if at least some part of him wasn’t in for the fight - even if reluctantly. In a quiet moment before the tension of the rest of the episode, the purity of Nemik sees right thought Andor’s armour.


The episode opens on the morning of the Aldhani cell’s heist, in a brief exchange of ideologies as Nemik (Alex Lawther) chooses to believe in Andor (Luna) even when Cassian can’t bring himself to.
