Outline

After failing to find where Kanan is being detained, Hera is urged by Fulcrum to put the crew of the Ghost into hiding. Against Hera’s orders to leave Kanan, Ezra devises a plan to rescue him. He strikes a deal with Vizago for an unspecified favour in the future and learns that due to the destruction of the Imperial communications tower the Empire is forced to send all its messages via courier droids. Meanwhile, Kanan is brought aboard Tarkin’s ship where he is tortured by the Inquisitor as the Empire hopes to gain more information about the rebels. The crew of the Ghost substitute a disguised Chopper for an Imperial courier droid so he can access the Empires data on Kanan, eventually learning that Tarkin plans to transfer Kanan to the prison on Mustafar where, according to Hera, Jedi go to die.
