After an explosive start to the final season last week, this week Crosshair and Omega are trying desperately to reunite with the rest of Clone Force 99. Their damaged ship forces them to land on a random planet where some familiar beasts will be the key to getting back out safely. Let’s get into “A Different Approach” with this Bad Batch Season 3 episode 4 easter eggs, breakdown, and recap.
Bad Batch Season 3 Episode 4 Easter Eggs & Breakdown
Omega and Crosshair may have escaped Tantiss but their ship took some damage. They are forced to drop out of hyperspace and land on the nearest planet.
The shuttle crash lands, which means now they will need some other way off the planet. Crosshair suggests they start at the spaceport he saw as they flew in.
Back on Tantiss, Hemlock questions Nala Se about Omega’s blood sample showing a positive match. Nala Se shrugs him off and tells him it is just a false positive, which is common in experiments. He is angry and threatens her life before leaving her in her cell.
Crosshair, Omega, and Batcher make it to the Spaceport. There are a lot of troopers milling around but Crosshair tells her they are the ones normally stationed on a planet.
Lots of different species and droids are seen as Omega runs around stealing clothing for their disguises including a R2 unit. At first the plan is to sneak onto a shuttle but they are too well guarded.
Then Omega tries to buy their way onto the ship but is told she will need 30,000 credits to do so.
A random kid on the street is selling what looks like meiloorun fruit.
In order to get the credits, Omega and Crosshair go into the Cantina. There, Omega hustles everyone at the card table just like she did back at Sid’s place in season 1 episode 10 “Common Ground.”
Everything is going well until Imperial Captain Mann shows up and decides to play against Omega. He doesn’t like Batcher watching so Crosshair takes her outside.
He loses, but instead of letting her leave he says she must pay him 10,000 credits or she will be arrested for gambling. She hands over the credits, leaving her and Crosshair 35,000, enough for their tickets with some to spare.
Outside however, they find out Batcher is missing. After paying the meiloorun fruit kid 5,000 credits, they learn that the Imperial officer and his men took Batcher to the docks. Crosshair wants them to leave the lurca hound behind but Omega refuses. She gives him the credits and tells him to leave if he wants to.
At the docks, Omega discovers a lot of creatures locked up in cages to be shipped off to who knows where. Crosshair arrives to help her free Batcher.
Captain Mann confronts them, telling Omega that Lau has a strict pet policy. There is no buying her way out of this mess though, because Mann has contacted Dr. Hemlock, who is on his way to capture her. She throws the credits at Mann and tells Crosshair to handle this his way.
As Crosshair picks off opponents, Omega releases all the creatures on the dock on her way to steal a ship. The largest creature is a Rathtar, the tentacled beast that Han Solo and Chewbacca were transporting in The Force Awakens. It makes quick work of the Captain.
Reunited with Batcher, Omega and Crosshair escape Lau right before Hemlock arrives.
Crosshair knows the Empire can track their ship but Omega is already two steps ahead of him. She has contacted Hunter and Wrecker via a coded transmission and they are all headed to a remote location to meet up.
The Marauder is there when they land. The Bad Batch is back together…minus Tech. Rest In Peace.
The Bad Batch Season 3 Episodes 1-4 are now streaming on Disney+.
