A year following the events on Ghorman, Lonni warns Luthen that the Empire is building a super-weapon and that Dedra has likely uncovered both their identities. Though he initially promises Lonni and his family safe passage from Coruscant, Luthen kills him to ensure his silence. As Luthen destroys the comms system in his shop, Dedra arrives and confronts him. Luthen attempts suicide and is taken, gravely injured, to a hospital as Kleya watches from afar. Dedra is arrested by the ISB for withholding information. Interspersed throughout the episode, flashbacks reveal that Luthen was an Imperial officer that defected after his unit massacred Kleya's hometown. Finding her hiding in his ship, he informally adopts her and the two begin selling antiques while waging resistance against the Empire. In the present, Kleya sneaks into the hospital and shuts off Luthen's life support system.
