After two really exceptional episodes that moved the potential of a Clone uprising forward. They had not a filler episode, but an establishing episode. There wasn't much in the way of action, or new reveals.
Spoiler!
I won't go too into detail with it.
Its not that its a bad episode, I just don't know if they couldn't have done this quicker as a secondary plot in another episode?
But this episode was all about the loss of echo, and the changing of the squad with Omega being broken by her family seemingly breaking up or changing, and Tech not knowing how to handle it.
Not one of my favorite episodes. But I can forgive it because there have been some really exceptional episodes this season.
Some after comment.
The stealing of the Ship, or their home, by what looks like a kid. I expect they'll spend some time getting it back.
I like Omega, they're trying to make her this series Ashoka. And having Tech not dealing with her in a good way was a good storytelling direction. But We have to remember that even now these Clones are the equivalents of 14 year olds, not really all that more mentally mature or emotionally secure then Omega.
The animation, especially in the caves is so top notch.
Having Cid initially refusing to help the Batch, even as they reminded her of the score card and they were going to run out of rations, and Cid literally telling them that they're on their own, links back nicely to the racing episode when the Batch was told that Cid was in it for herself and would stab them in the back.
I have a feeling that if the Squad becomes too much trouble that Cid is going to call the Imperial hot tip line of 1-888-traitor
