The wrong person finds Bix
Our Ferrix friends of Bix Caleen, Brasso, Wilmon Paak, and B2EMO have been scrambling to find a way to safety on their not-so-safe-anymore haven of Mina-Rau. The Empire is there for a census audit and is looking for illegal migrants with fake visas like theirs. Their local friends, including Brasso's girlfriend Talia, have gotten them a work order that's away from the area. It would give them a reason to travel and hopefully not be stopped or hassled by Imperials. Brasso passes B2EMO into Talia's care.
As they prepare to leave, they realize that Wilmon isn't there. The teenager has left to say goodbye to his girlfriend first. Brasso leaves Bix to look for him, not realizing that Wilmon has spotted the Imperials and is on the way back. In the last episode, "Sagrona Teema," an Imperial officer named Krole made advances on Bix. He returns and finds her alone. This time, he doesn't take no for an answer. He tries to rape her, but Bix fights back. She kills the man with a wrench just as Wilmon arrives.
Cassian to the almost rescue
Hopping to Cassian, he finally contacts his contact Kleya, who mentions that the Empire is at Mina-Rau. Using the TIE Advance he stole in episode one, "One Year Later," Cassian races to help his friends.
Meanwhile, Brasso is cornered by Imperials. In an attempt to protect his allies on Mina-Rau, he basically condemns himself to be captured by openly accusing one of selling him out. Just then, Cassian arrives and blasts the Imperial transports. Brasso makes a run for it on his own speeder as a firefight breaks out. Cassian destroys the last of the Imperials with the TIE, lands, and runs over to find...
Brasso is dead. He was killed by a blaster bolt. Cassian has no choice but to leave his friend behind. Picking up Bix and Wilmon, but leaving B2EMO with Talia, what's left of the Ferrix crew flees Mina-Rau.
Guess who's coming to dinner
Episode 2, "Sagrona Teema," revealed the Dedra Meero and Syril Karn are now dating. They ended the second episode as they were preparing for a special guest to visit them for dinner.
That person is Eedy Karn, Syril's overbearing mother. It's an awkward time at first as Eedy basically runs over her son and continues her emotional abuse of him. In a moment when Syril excuses himself from the table, Dedra flat-out tells Eedy that she's now the most important woman in Syril's life. She will be the one who will decide if Syril ever sees his mom again. Also, the Uncle Harlo that Eedy likes to throw around to show she has some power actually has a criminal record. So, Eedy better be nice or get out. Syril returns, and his mother is perfectly pleasant for the rest of dinner.
Wedding Woes
The last two episodes, Mon Mothma and Luthen Rael have realized that her childhood friend, Tay Kolma, is now a problem. Tay might have bailed out Mon and help her hide her rebel activity in her finances. But now, the banker has fallen on hard times, his wife left him, and he's threatening to blackmail Mon to help him or else.
After marrying off her daughter Leida to a gangster's son (remember from Season 1, the gangster is the one Tay hired to help her fix her finances, and Leida was his payment), Mon finally addresses Tay and promises to set up a meeting with him the following week. This is not enough for Luthen, who has deemed Tay too much of a liability. He tells Mon as much, and she realizes that Luthan is going to kill her friend to protect the Rebellion.
Assassin Cinta Kaz from Season 1 finally makes her appearance, posing as Tay's new driver. Cinta spots her romantic partner, Vel, who has been missing her, before she drives off with Tay to kill him off-screen. Saddened that it's come to this, Mon gets incredibly drunk and dances at her daughter's wedding reception.
Andor Season 2 is now streaming on Disney+.
