Recap of Star Wars: The Bad Batch Episode 4
Star Wars: The Bad Batch Episode 4 titled “Cornered” had the Clone Force 99 hurdling through space. They were on their course to an outer-rim inhabited planet Idaflor to hide for the moment. But that is when Tech informs the crew that they must first gather fuel and rations before they go into hiding. Just then, Echo informs that their ship’s signature was put out on the comm chat on a Wanted List. Now they have no choice but to land quickly so that Tech can modify the ship’s signature keeping the Empire from tracking them. So, the nearest planet they could land on happens to be Pantora. Here when they land, the landing bay attendant, Raspar Six, identifies the ship to be an Omicron-Class Attack Shuttle. Knowing that the ship is on the wanted list, he calls a bounty hunter (Fennec Shand) in the hope of some credits. Tech and Wrecker work on modifying the ship’s signature. Meanwhile, Hunter, Echo, and Omega go out on a supply run. During the supply run, unable to sell their equipment for credits, Hunter decides to sell off Echo disguised as a military droid. Echo later leads a group of droids to their ship to repair it. In the meantime, Omega wanders off into the market only to encounter Fennec Shand. She pretends to tray and help Omega while she was casually leading her away to abduct her. But Hunter soon realizes that Omega has gone missing, and makes use of his hunting skills to track down Omega. Here, Hunter and Fennec have a fast-paced fight while Omega is asked to run away. But as soon as Hunter is outwitted by Fennec, he calls out to his teammates informing them of the situation.
The Chase
Now Hunter and Wrecker go in the search for Omega while Echo and Tech modify the ship’s signature. Omega heads into the gutters to try and get away from Fennec, that’s when Wrecker is able to reach her. He asks her to go back to the ship while he takes down Fennec. Contradicting to his beliefs, Wrecker is soon knocked down. Fennec finally gets back a hold of Omega where we witness a furious chase in the skies of Pantora. Hunter is able to rescue Omega while Fennec is left alive to hunt another day. As Teach and Echo succeed in modifying the ship’s signature, the Bad Batch gets back together to leave the planet.
