Kenobi and Leia hide inside the cargo space ship to the planet Mapuzo - a mining system, and they arrive at the coordinates given to them by Haja, but no one is found there as promised. Concerned that Haja was cheating, Obi-Wan puts Leia in a Imperial transport to go to the outpost, from there to Tawl.

Upon arriving at the checkpoint, Obi-Wan is subjected to inspection by a probe drone sent by the Inquisitors. Knowing he would be exposed, he attacks the Stormtroopers, then unexpectedly aided by a female Imperial officer, Tala.

Tala is aware of the dark sides of the Empire, so she silently helps the surviving Jedi. She is part of an underground network dedicated to rescuing the Jedi, known as the Path, which brings them to Jabiim, giving them a new identity and cover so they can escape the Inquisitors' hunt. The humorous Jedi Quinlan Vos is also in this network.

Tala takes Obi-Wan and Leia to a tunnel leading to the port, waiting for a pilot ready to take them out of Mapuzo.

However, Dark Vader appears and brutally kill the townsfolk here to find Obi-Wan, leaving the old Jedi with no choice but to stay to drag Dark Vader away.

Finally, Dark Vader and Obi Wan have a their second duel. Obi Wan, after many years in hiding without practicing the Force, plus the aging make him much weaker than Dark Vader.

The episode also shows the fierce competition between Reva and the other Inquisitors for the Dark Vader's trust, along with the Grand Inquisitor position. Everyone, including Dark Vader, still believes that the past Grand Inquisitor was killed by Obi Wan, but they do not expect the culprit to be Reva.

At the end of the episode, Reva trails to the end of the tunnel, kills the pilot, and waits for Leia to appear. The smart little girl soon realizes the situation and quickly runs away.
