This jam-packed episode begins with Boba Fett chasing an Imperial Lambda shuttle containing Dr. Pershing through space.
If Mando finishes his quest with the child, she asks him to join their efforts and he agrees.
She requests the Darksaber as well, which we helpfully find out cannot cut through pure beskar.

She’s going to kill the Moff and take what is rightfully hers.
With the Darksaber restored to her, Mandalore will finally be in reach.
He also notes that Grogu is being held in the brig under armed guard.

Bo-Katan decides that they will use the Imperial Lambda shuttle to issue a distress call.
They agree to meet at the bridge after all of this is through.
Bo-Katan doesn’t really care if he lives or dies (really?)

as long as he surrenders to her.
And where is Boba in all of this?
She doesn’t and crash lands in the tube.

If that seems like not much Boba Fett for the season finale, just wait.
He’s got something big coming at the end.
Gideon activates the dark troopers and they start powering up as Mando starts making his way into the cruiser.

Mando makes it to the dark troopers a little too late (you had two jobs, Mando!)
and one of them escapes the holding bay doors.
He knows everything such as the fact that his whistling stars have already launched.

Mando doesn’t care about that, he just wants his child.
Mando’s beskar deflects the blows as we heard it would but Gideon forces him out into the hall.
Mando brings a shackled Gideon to the bridge along with Grogu and the lit Darksaber.
Bo-Katan doesn’t look too happy to see Mando holding the saber and Gideon smiles because he knows why.
Mando tries to give it to Bo-Katan but Gideon notes that it must be won in battle.
Mando puts Grogu in a safe place as they seal the blast doors.
Doom seems inevitable until the ship’s alarm sounds again and we see a lone X-wing fly past.
A hooded, black-clad figure makes it through the hallways and takes out the droids easily with a lightsaber.
Gideon tries to commit suicide but Cara knocks the blaster out of his hands and knocks him out.
Grogu looks at Mando and he picks him up and asks them to initiate the doors.
Fennec thinks he’s crazy but Mando does it himself.
The doors open and it is indeed Luke effing Skywalker!
Luke tells him that he’s strong with the Force but talent without training is nothing.
Mando picks up Grogu and tells him to go with Luke since he’s one of his kind.
He vows to see him again.
Grogu touches his face and Mando closes his eyes to feel it as the room gets awfully dusty.
His eyes glistening, Mando tells Grogu it’s time to go and not to be afraid.
Luke leaves as Mando and the rest of the team look on.
Echoing the beginning ofReturn of the Jedi, shots are fired and a body rolls down the staircase.
As Bib Fortuna scrambles to apologize, Boba kills him and shoves him off Jabba’s throne.
