Outline

While returning to his ship on foot with the Child in tow, the Mandalorian is ambushed by a trio of Trandoshan warriors. He disintegrates one attempting to rush and kill the child, revealing a tracking fob. Upon returning to his ship, he finds a team of Jawas scavenging it for parts. After a short battle, they retreat in their Sandcrawler and stun the Mandalorian unconscious with ion blasts. He returns to his ship, finding it stripped bare and all of his weaponry stolen. With the assistance of Kuiil, he begrudgingly bargains with the Jawas to return his ship’s parts in return for retrieving “The Egg”.

The Mandalorian locates a den, with a Mud Horn, a large horned beast, inside throwing and battering him around in the open. With his weapons failing and his armour heavily damaged, the beast charges to finish him, but the Child uses the Force to lift the beast, allowing the Mandalorian to stab and kill it. He returns with the Egg, and the Jawas cut it open and eat the contents. He and Kuiil repair his ship, after which Kuiil turns down the Mandalorian’s offer of reward and crewing his ship. After parting as friends, the Mandalorian takes to space and the Child wakes for the first time after exhausting itself using the Force.
