History Recap / TheMandalorianS2E3Chapter11TheHeiress

* YouHaveGotToBeKiddingMe: Din's reaction to the Mon Calamari dock worker's worksmanship on his ship, which is essentially just tying the whole thing together with rope and nets.
-->'''Din:''' ''Mon Calamari.'' Unbelievable.

This episode was directed by Creator/BryceDallasHoward and written by Creator/JonFavreau.

** The fact that Bo-Katan knows Ahsoka's whereabouts indicates either she and Sabine Wren are still looking for Ezra Bridger ever since the finale of ''WesternAnimation/StarWarsRebels'', when she returned after being presumed dead for a while, or she has since settled down after they eventually found him.

* BusCrash: Possibly for Bo-Katan's nephew Korkie. She says she is the last of her line, but lines usually refer to parent-child lineage and don't automatically include relations like nephews. So Bo-Katan’s nephew could’ve missed that bus, He could still turn up.

** Ahsoka Tano is a main character in ''WesternAnimation/StarWarsTheCloneWars''[[note]]the former padawan of Anakin Skywalker between ''Film/AttackOfTheClones'' and ''RevengeOfTheSith''[[/note]] and ''WesternAnimation/StarWarsRebels''.

* BusCrash: Possibly for Bo-Katan's nephew Korkie. She says she is the last of her line, but lines usually refer to parent-child lineage and don't automatically include relations like nephews.

** Koska rescues the Child from the mamacore and reassures him that he's safe now as she returns him to Din. She also seems to be looking playfully at the Child while she eats her [[AlienLunch alien squid chowder]].

** Ahsoka Tano is a main character in ''WesternAnimation/StarWarsTheCloneWars'' and ''WesternAnimation/StarWarsRebels''.

* AdultFear: The Child is swallowed by the mamacore and dragged beneath the water. Din immediately tries to go after him but can't catch the beast and struggles to breathe as he's forced underwater himself. He's clearly terrified for his adopted son and, when Koska rescues the baby, Din's hands slightly shake as she hands the Child to him.

* {{Cthulhumanoid}}: Several red-skinned beings with squid heads are wandering around the docks. They appear to be perfectly ordinary citizens going about their normal business, though, and not some sort of EldritchAbomination as this trope usually entails. They're Quarrians, long established in Star Wars canon, usually as bad guys.

* TheReveal: Bo-Katan identifies Din as a Child of the Watch, who, in her words, are a religiously zealous cult that broke away from standard Mandalorian culture in the belief of re-establishing the ancient way.

* BadassInDistress: Din, twice. First, he's tricked into diving into a pool while the hatch above him is sealed. Second, he's confronted by a group of thieves while carrying the Child (due to the pram being destroyed in the first incident) and can't safely put the kid down to fight them. Both times he gets bailed out by [[BigDamnHeroes the Nite Owls]].

* TheBusCameBack: Bo-Katan returns after last being seen ruling over Mandalore in ''WesternAnimation/StarWarsRebels,'' having been exiled from her home since then, and working to reclaim the planet and the Darksaber.

** Two episodes back, we saw The Child was able to close off his own pram in times of trouble. This time, he uses it to protect himself before getting swallowed by the Mamacore.

** Bo-Katan offering her hand to help up Din in distress is framed similarly to the Death Watch soldier that did the same to him as a child in the flashback from [[Recap/TheMandalorianS1E8Chapter8Redemption Chapter 8]].
*** Speaking of which, this episode confirms what fans of ''Clone Wars'' already guessed, that the Mandalorians who rescued Din as a child were part of the Death Watch.

* ContinuityNod: Bo-Katan and her Mandalorians seem to have a thing for observing people of interest from a distance first, like in ''[[WesternAnimation/StarWarsTheCloneWars The Clone Wars]]'' -- when a disguised Obi-Wan arrived on Mandalore in "The Lawless", Bo-Katan saw his arrival before later rescuing him from Maul's Mandalorians, and in Ahsoka's Walkabout arc, Bo-Katan and her Mandos observed Ahsoka throughout the arc before recruiting her at the end of the arc. Here, Koska watches Din arrive at the Trask port before Bo-Katan and co. meet him later.

* DrowningPit: Din is trapped in one the Quarren fishermen by until Bo Katan's party comes to the rescue.

'''Captain:''' ''(sporting an expression that screams "Are you fucking serious?")'' ''Where?''\\

''(The Officer and several Stormtroopers are jettisoned out of the cargo hold)''

* IronicEcho: Inverted. After changing the parameters of their mission, Bo snarkily tells Mando "This is the Way". She says it to him again at the end of the mission, this time in total sincerity.

* LaserGuidedKarma: The Child after consuming the Frog Lady's eggs at least three seperate times without any hint of shame in the previous episode, gets attacked and nearly devoured by a predatory creature three times in this episode.

* NotInThisForYourRevolution: Bo-Katan and her Mandalorians want to recruit Din to their cause to retake Mandalore, but he refuses as he was told by the Watch that Mandalore is a lost cause and his own mission is to return the Child to the Jedi.

* UngratefulBastard: Initially subverted, then played straight. Din is initially grateful that his kin saved him and the child...until they take off their helmets, causing him to suspect they're pretenders like Cobb until they reveal their origins and the nature of his sect. When Bo-Katan outright tells him that he was raised in a cult, he understandably does not take it well and jetpacks off without further discussion.
* UnusuallyUninterestingSight: When the ''Razor Crest'' [[ComingInHot nearly burns up upon atmospheric re-entry and almost crashes into the dock]], no one other than a Mon Calamari dock worker notices and said dock worker only looks on curiously instead of in fear.
* VillainousValour: The unnamed Gozanti captain remains unflinchingly calm as his situation goes from bad to worse, and doesn’t even blink an eye when Moff Gideon orders him to scuttle the ship and himself with it.

'''Officer:''' In the cargo control areaaaaaaaaah!\\

* RealityEnsues:
** Mandalorian helmets aren't air-sealed, judging by Din and Koska gasping for air after diving into the water.
** Mandalorian culture is nowhere near as homogeneous as Din seems to think, leaving him gobsmacked when he meets Mandalorians who don't adhere to The Way as rigidly as his tribe.
** Going off the above, telling someone that the religious sect they dedicated their life to is a cult without any explanation just makes the person angry, as what happens with Bo-Katan and Din.
** Din is forced to take a lot of blaster fire from Stormtroopers wielding repeating blasters to remove the last obstacle standing between the Mandos and the bridge. His Beskar armor absorbs the shots, but being hit so many times so quickly clearly does a number on him and the blasts still pack a punch (as he's heard wincing in pain with each bolt hitting him).

* LaserGuidedKarma: The Child after consuming the frog eggs at least three seperate times without any hint of shame in the previous episode, gets attacked and nearly devoured by a predatory creature three times in this episode.
