The Bad Batch S2E10 "Retrieval"
Listen now
Description
With no ship, and no help from Cid, The Batch are all but stranded. But wait! Omega has a plan! They'll track their stolen ship by zeroing in on their defective power droid, Gonky. This takes the crew to a mining facility that has their own problems. Namely, a tale as old as time, in that the workers are being abused by a greedy boss. Fortunately, with the help of the thief who originally stole their ship, they're able to kill two birds with one stone - retrieve their ship, and solve the labor problem. This wraps up what appears to be a two-part arch (maybe there's a third next week?) that leaned heavily into character work, with sprinkles of interesting action in this second half. That all being said, the show seems to be lacking in stakes, making it feel a little weightless. Hopefully that changes soon as we are well into the back half of the season now.
