Episode 13 - Into the Breech dropped last night.
Spoiler!
There are now 2 episodes left til the end of the Batch.
A really solid episode, but no real big revelations. But its a build up to the raid on Tantiss.
It was nice to see Echo return to help rescue the kid, This almost fully reunites the batch sans Tech. Speaking of which we didn't see Trooper X in this episode.
Its funny when you say that Echo was the best part of the episode considering that all of the Batch members are played by the same actor.
The episode is split into two with the first half focusing around Omega and even her relationship with Emerie, and also Omega planning her great escape as she steals a sharp object when Emerie is taking her blood and begins to explore an escape route through the shaft that collects the blood samples. With Emerie she justifies things to herself by talking about how the kids are well taken care of, and she's clearly different from the other scientists who are pretty cold and unfeeling. But we know that in the end, Emerie will side with the Empire and Science.
The other half focused on the batch formulating a plan to get the coordinates to Tantiss. Rampart really shines in this as a comedy foil, sniffing haughtily when he's forced to dress as an Imperial Captain. He points out that he was a Vice Admiral.
Originally the plans were to download the coordiates from a space station in orbit over coruscant, but Echo finds out that the coordinates are on a science shuttle. So we get a nice tension filled last 5 minutes of the episode as the Batch have to rush back to their ship after Echo sneaks onto the Science Ship, and race to attach themselves to the ship before it makes a jump to lightspeed.
So in the end we get a nice cliffhanger as the batch are on their way to Tantiss and Omega is working on her escape plan.
In terms of production, this episode had a lot of money shots. the view of Coruscant was gorgeous. The facial animation has really approved and the aging on Omega from the start to now is really well done.
