Outline

The Rebels form an uneasy alliance with Hondo in order to break into an abandoned Imperial ship to steal its valuable cargo, with Hondo promising them a shipment of proton bombs in return. However, the cargo ship is dangerously close to a heavy storm, making any salvage attempt hazardous. They enlist the aid of AP-5, but Kanan and Hera are worried that Ezra puts too much trust in Hondo. The group manages to board the ship and finds the cargo they are looking for. However, as they load the cargo onto the Ghost, they are attacked by Imperial Sentry droids which were protecting the ship. Both the Rebels and Hondo’s crew manage to narrowly escape the cargo ship before it plunges into the storm, and while the Rebels were able to retrieve most of the proton bombs, Hondo was unable to secure any of the treasure. In addition, Ezra comes to realise how little Hondo cares about his own crew or “business partners”.
