History Recap / StarWarsTheCloneWarsS5E8BoundForRescue

'''Cody:''' Sir? Shouldn't we stay and fight? We can't lose the ship now!
'''Obi-Wan:''' Cody, the ship is already lost. We must face it. You and I are going to give Grievous a [[DeadlyEuphemism little parting gift]].

* ShootTheFuelTank: While fighting Grievous, Cody points out fuel canisters to Obi-Wan, and shoots the one that Obi-Wan subsequently hurls at Grievous, who survives the explosion.

* ContinuityNod: Obi-Wan and Cody pull the same "shoot the fuel canister" move against Grievous that Anakin and Rex used against vulture droids in [[Recap/StarWarsTheCloneWarsS1E7DuelOfTheDroids "Duel of the Droids"]].

* ChekhovsSkill: In the newsreel at the beginning of [[Recap/StarWarsTheCloneWarsS5E6TheGathering "The Gathering"]], the younglings were shown practicing acrobatic moves. They use these moves to con their way into a travelling circus as acrobats, so they can sneak inside Hondo's base and rescue Ahsoka.

* ContinuityNod: Obi-Wan and Cody pull the same "shoot the fuel canister" move against Grievous that Anakin and Rex did back in [[Recap/StarWarsTheCloneWarsS1E7DuelOfTheDroids "Duel of the Droids"]].

* TookALevelInBadass: Grievous regains enough levels to put him on par with his ''WesternAnimation/StarWarsCloneWars'' incarnation: his fleet routs Obi-Wan's and he tears his way through the Clone Troopers in addition to pretty much curbstomping Obi-Wan himself, forcing him to flee. Obi-Wan gets the last laugh by having the ship self-destruct, however.

!!This episode provides examples of:

* TookALevelInBadass: Grievous regains enough levels to put him on par with his ''WesternAnimation/StarWarsCloneWars'' incarnation; his fleet routs Obi-Wan's, and he tears his way through the clones and even pretty much curbstomps Obi-Wan himself, forcing him to flee. Obi-Wan gets the last laugh by having the ship self-destruct, however.

->''"When we rescue others, we rescue ourselves."''

* TheAlcoholic: Hondo Onaka, to the point where it is played for laughs.

* ChekhovsSkill: In the newsreel at the beginning of "[[Recap/StarWarsTheCloneWarsS5E6TheGathering The Gathering]]", the younglings were shown practicing acrobatic moves. They use these moves to con their way into a traveling circus as acrobats, so they can sneak inside Hondo's base and rescue Ahsoka.

Although Ahsoka saved the younglings from Hondo's pirates, she got captured in the process, and their ship was heavily damaged. After Obi-Wan's rescue mission got thwarted by a surprise attack from General Grievous, the younglings discover that their ship will explode if they don't land soon and let the engines cool off, so they're left with one option: go to Florrum and rescue Ahsoka.
