Plot summary
Kanan Jarrus takes his apprentice, Ezra Bridger, to the frozen planet of Bilzen in Wild Space to practice his connection to the Force and improve his Jedi training. They use the shuttle Phantom for their journey, landing in a cave. The training session is interrupted by an ID9 seeker droid, which is destroyed by Jarrus. The droid is a herald of the Jedi-hunting Inquisitors, the Fifth Brother and the Seventh Sister, who tracked them down, with the Fifth Brother damaging the Phantom. The Inquisitors attack Jarrus and Bridger with Jarrus facing off with the Fifth Brother while Bridger faced the Seventh Sister.
Bridger retreats, forcing the Seventh Sister to search for him. She attempts to confuse Bridger, but he Force pushes her off a cliff. He rebuffs her attempts to recruit him and rejoins Jarrus, and the two combine to take out the Fifth Brother. Jarrus and Bridger retreat to the Phantom, which thanks to the Fifth Brother's previous actions, only has one engine now. As the Phantom attempts to leave, the Inquisitors block the entrance to the cave. The Ghost swoops in and fires on the Inquisitors as well as the Phantom docks with the VCX-100 light freighter and Ghost flies off.
Aboard Ghost, Jarrus and Bridger go over the events of the training session with Hera Syndulla. Meanwhile, on Bilzen, the Inquisitors dig themselves out of the snow-covered cave entrance.
