This week we see the return of Crosshair, who has stealthily become the MVP of the season.
Now that Palpatine duped the whole Senate into passing his conscription bill, the clones are getting the boot.
(That arc also boasts an episode directed by Walter Murch, the editor ofApocalypse Now.
Unsurprisingly, Crosshair doesnt care, hes still fully in his good soldiers follow orders bullshit.
Except, the new gear is not for them, this is stormtrooper gear and uniforms theyre protecting.
Just as they find the crates, Mayday and Crosshair are struck by an avalanche that nearly kills Mayday.
Mayday was a good soldier, he followed orders and this is how he got paid for it.
This is how every clone is going to be paid for their service.
Is Crosshair going to keep taking it?
He outright shoots the lieutenant, fully becoming a traitor like his brothers, before passing out.
This is it, the whole thesis of this entire show laid bare.
With the Empire in charge, however, things are simply getting worse more quickly.
The episode ends with Crosshair waking up in front of a doctor who injects him with something.
The doctor tells him to cooperate and maybe hell live.
This is Emerie Karr, who briefly appeared in the last episode.
The place Crosshair is at?
The Empires secret cloning facility.
