What’s going on here? “War-Mantle” keeps its cards close to its chest for now. The clone was dragged back towards a mysterious mountain that seemingly belies the complete inactivity indicated by the initial scans of the planet. Hunter puts his nose to the ground, literally, and uses his tracking skills to sense the chase we saw in the cold open. The Prime Minister realizes the jig is up, and that the Empire would sooner destroy them rather than allow them to empower any potential adversaries, so plans are made to flee posthaste, which surely won’t go down well when they’re discovered.Ĭlone Force 99 arrives on Daro in The Bad Batch season 1, episode 14, and immediately discovers the source of the signal, but not the clone.
Admiral Rampart and Crosshair, meanwhile, continue to “keep an eye” on the Kaminoans, who are now shipping their clones off elsewhere and can’t seem to get any other private contracts for their scientific advancements. This does, though, mean abandoning a job from Cid, which isn’t great for the Bad Batch’s financial future, but doing the right thing is more important.
