The Bad Batch 305 "The Return" Synopsis
Series Created by: Jennifer Corbett, Dave Filoni, Brad Rau
Episode 305 Written by: Amanda Rose Muñoz
Episode 305 Directed By: Nathaniel Villanueva
Story Editor: Matt Michnovetz
After reuniting Omega, Crosshair, Hunter and Wrecker rest up on Pabu and wait for the last member of The Bad Batch, Echo to return. While Crosshair avoids talking to Hunter, Wrecker admits that Omega’s endorsement is enough for him to welcome back his brother.
Echo arrives and debriefs Omega and Crosshair on everything they know that could lead them to Dr Hemlock and Mount Tantiss. Omega still has Nala Se’s datapad but doesn’t have access to it because of the heavy Imperial encryption.
Crosshair suggests that the team go to the abandoned Imperial outpost of Barton IV to use its terminals to bypass the security and activate the data pad.
When they arrive the supply depot has been abandoned and to get enough power to access the terminals to retrieve the data they must power down the perimeter beacons.
With the beacons down the group realise what they were protecting the base from as the Bad Batch must fight off a native monster previously repelled by the beacons. With the datapad accessed, Hunter and Crosshair lure the Monster beyond the perimeter sensors so they can be reactivated and the team can get to their ship.
While on Barton IV the Bad Batch learns about Crosshair’s journey while with the Empire and discovers that he was betrayed by the Empire and had killed an Imperial officer at the same facility. Hunter and Crosshair also manage to begin to talk to one another and rebuild some trust lost after the split of the Bad Batch.
Now aligned together and with more clues to the location of Mount Tantiss the team leave Barton IV to return to Pabu knowing that they just have to keep trying and then there might still be hope.
