Chapter 19, "The Convert," of The Mandalorian picks up right where last week's episode left us in the mines of Mandalore. Din Djarin wakes up redeemed and explains that he fell into the depths of the Living Waters, meaning he wasn't dragged down by the ancient Mythosaur Bo-Katan Kryze caught a glimpse of.
She asks if he saw anything down there and, when he says no, makes no mention of the fact she spotted one of the ancient beasts (Bo-Katan does, however, note that the Night of a Thousand Tears likely caused seismic activity that made the waters even deeper).
Leaving the planet, the trio finds themselves being pursued by TIE Interceptors, prompting Bo-Katan to point out that it's unlikely a warlord such as Moff Gideon would have access to such a large force. Could this be a hint that Grand Admiral Thrawn, Star Wars Rebels and Ahsoka's big bad, is somewhere in the shadows with a massive army of his own?
Either way, TIE Bombers destroy Bo-Katan's home and she and Din are forced to flee from the huge number of Imperial fighters.
We later find them arriving at The Armorer's covert, much to the apparent disgust of Paz Vizsla. Din is able to prove that he found redemption in the Living Waters and is a Mandalorian once more. However, as Bo-Katan dived in to save him and has not removed her helmet since, she too is offered redemption and welcomed into their group.
This Is The Way!
This could mean we don't see Bo-Katan unmask again, but she seems happy enough to join them...for now, at least. However, while everyone - minus Viszla - celebrates her and Din's return, she looks uneasily at the Mythosaur skull on the wall. Will she reveal her secret to the group?
For now, it appears we'll have to wait and see.
