* TallTale: The stories Soren is regaling his guests with on what happened on Madrigal don't seem to match what was saw, most notably on how he lost his ship.

Seeking further guidance, Kwan returns to the desert compound where her father made his stand, fortifying the area around the Sky Pipe which feeds deuterium to the fuel depot in space. Here, Soren finds her, pointing out that, if he can do so, Vinsher cannot be far behind. He is proven right almost immediately when Vinsher arrives with some thirty armed enforcers. Kwan hashes out the plan: she's going to engage the fuel pumps and fill the Sky Pipe with deuterium[[note]]"Deuterium" is an isotope of hydrogen and is typically used as a reaction agent in science-fiction energy plants, including ''Franchise/StarTrek''[='s=] matter-{{antimatter}} warp cores and the conventional (IE slower-than-light) propulsion systems in ''VideoGame/MassEffect''[[/note]], at which point a bullet in the right place will blow it all up, taking out everyone in the vicinity. To save themselves, Soren and Kwan will need to take refuge in the vault that was used to hide tje rebellion's children in the first episode. However, the pump is jammed, and Kwan needs to get to the base of the Sky Pipe to open it up. Soren fights a fierce delaying action while Kwan makes the necessary adjustments, eventually having to improvise by using a Covenant sticky grenade to kill one guard and a standard [=MA5B=] to take the shot, as Vinsher has managed to catch Soren with a stray round. Nonetheless, the two hustle themselves into the vault just in time. After that, it's all over but the fireworks.

* CallBack:
** Kwan finds John's discarded rifle from the first episode.

* OutRunTheFireBall: Vinsher gives it a solid try, but he's not nearly close enough to the bunker to make it before he gets fried.

* ThrowAwayGuns: In the first episode, there was notable attention given to Master Chief discarding his assault rifle before grabbing a truck-mount gatling gun. Kwan ends up finding the same rifle under a truck in this episode, taking it as her weapon.

* WhereItAllBegan: The climax involves returning to the same refinery of the first episode, with most, if not all, of the bodies and equipment still there, human and Covenant alike. Evidently, the Chief's rebellion derailed the usual cleanup operations that the UNSC normally engages in.

* TheReveal: Jin Ha was guarding a portal of alien origin, fueled by Madrigal's deuterium supply.

* ThrowAwayGuns: In the first episode there was notable attention given to Master Chief discarding his assault rifle before grabbing a turret (with notable CGI). This turns out to have been foreshadowing Kwan finding that gun under a truck in this episode, and taking it as her weapon.
* TimeSkip: The last time Kwan and Soren were seen Kwan had gotten Soren by surprise with a taser and she aimed his gun at his head. This episode starts with Kwan driving deeper in the desert and Soren somehow got off planet and back to the Rubble on his own.

* WhamShot: Kwan is told of an ancestor meeting a spiritual guide "from another time or reality," when she sees this in a vision this guide is a Forerunner Monitor.
* WhereItAllBegan: The climax involves returning to the same refinery of the first episode, with most, if not all, of the bodies and equipment still there.

To save themselves, Soren and Kwan will need to secret themselves in the vault that the rebellion's ill-fated children took refuge in during the first episode. Even worse, the pump is jammed, and Kwan needs to get to the base of the Sky Pipe to open it up. Soren fights a fierce delaying action while Kwan makes the necessary adjustments, eventually having to improvise by using a Covenant sticky grenade to kill one guard and a standard MA5B to take the shot, as Vinsher has managed to catch Soren with a stray round. Nonetheless, the two hustle themselves into the vault and land the fatal round on the Sky Pipe. After that, it's all over but the fireworks.

Kwan pays Soren with a massive tin of money, which they found in the Sky Pipe's control room, and gives him a ship, declaring them even. Soren, for one, shows some regret at leaving her behind, though by now she's proved to him that she can handle anything -- having emerged unscathed, after all, from a firefight that wounded even a [=SPARTAN=]. (That, of course, may be part of why he's regretful to leave her.) As his ship takes off, Kwan turns around, the MA5B slung over her back, turning to face her planet -- ready to liberate it once and for all.

* TheReveal: Jin Ha was guarding a portal of alien origin, fueled by Madrigal's deuterium supply.

* AgonyOfTheFeet: Soren drops a pallet of crates with heavy machinery on his partner's foot, to put the guy in his place after he challenged him earlier in the episode.

Kwan Ha learns more about her father's revolution, while Soren gets back to his pirate life after escaping Madrigal.

* AgonyOfTheFeet: Soren drops a pallet of crates with heavy machinery on his partner's foot, to put the guy in his place after he challenged him eariler in the episode.

* LowerDeckEpisode: This episode focuses entirely on Soren and Kwan Ha, after a minimal presence last episode.
