Sol confesses to his crimes and Osha, taking her first steps down the path of the dark side, punishes him for it, Force choking her former master to death. Knowing it’s too late to turn back, Osha makes a deal with The Stranger to become his pupil/acolyte in exchange for Mae’s freedom. By the end of the episode, Osha and Mae have essentially traded places: the former Jedi padawan is now the protege of a Sith Lord, while the latter is in custody on Coruscant after having her memory wiped. We’ll have to wait until a potential second season to see how their story turns out.
