* WholePlotReference: The story is lifted from the Akira Kurosawa film ''Film/{{Sanjuro}}'', which was a sequel to ''Film/{{Yojimbo}}'' (Which provided some inspiration for the original ''Star Wars'' film). A group of honest but inexperienced samurai discover corruption in their own government, and are dismayed when they bring it to the uncle of their leader and he seems disinclined to take any action. Deciding to go to another official since they assume their uncle must be complicit, it turns out he is the leader of the corruption and plans to have them all killed. Only the presence of a wandering ''ronin'' saves their lives and leads them to expose the corruption.

* CurbStompBattle: The cadets stand no chance against the corrupt police who try to capture them, who in turn stand no chance of their own against a saberless Ahsoka. She gives them an even more thorough beating at the climax of the episode, [[WithMyHandsTied while wearing restraints no less.]]

* HaveYouToldAnyoneElse: When the cadets go to the prime minister with their intel after Duchess Satine tells them they should stay out of it and focus on school, Almec asks them to specifically bring the intel and all the cadets who know about it, as he's planning to silence them. The one thing he didn't count on was that Korkie also told Ahsoka about the situation, allowing her to rescue them. Korkie later realizes that Almec's thugs have gone after the duchess because he told Almec that he'd spoken with his aunt.

* PlotHole: Although it's indicated that Almec and his forces don't completely trust her before she reveals herself, Ahsoka's FakeDefector ploy shouldn't have been as effective as it was since several of the secret police officers she beats up to rescue the cadets are seen running away afterwards with no one making any attempt to stop them. You'd think they would have reported what happened to the prime minister, but apparently not...

->''Those who enforce the law must obey the law.''
In response to Duchess Satine's request for assistance with the corruption plaguing her society, the Jedi Council sends Padawan Ahsoka Tano to instruct the cadets at the Royal Academy of Mandalore on the dangers of corruption, feeling that the students will best connect with the message if they're hearing it from someone their own age.
