** Cad Bane immediately recognizes Fennic, Fennic and gives her a courteous tip of his hat, despite her earlier being established as having just started as a bounty hunter, implying hunter. This implies that the few jobs she's had were impressive enough that such a legendary member of the trade saw fit to take note of her.

* Despite being mostly on her own until Fennec shows up, Omega shows remarkable bravery and cleverness trying to escape from Bane's ship and getting in contact with the Batch to tell them her location. Even later on with her hands bound, she manages to evade capture long enough to get into a flight pod and the Batch to rescue her before she crashed. She may still have a lot to learn, but she's not completely helpless on her own.

* We get what all the fans were clamoring for after the last episode's ending, as Cad Bane and Fennec Shand go toe to toe in a fight that takes up most of the episode, and shows both at the peak of their abilities. And while Fennec technically wins as simply getting Omega away from Bane completes her assignment, Bane still survives and is now ''very'' motivated for a rematch.

** The manner of their QuickDraw is also worth noting. Hunter draws first, but as a soldier he instinctively brings his blaster up all the way to aim properly. Bane draws second and does a quick but accurate shot from the hip, hitting Hunter before Hunter has time to fire his shot.

* A villainous version - [[EnsembleDarkhorse Cad]] [[BountyHunter Bane]] returns to television and takes down an entire squad of clonetroopers off-screen before casually shooting the breeze/threatening Hunter to give him Omega. When Hunter tries to outdraw him, Bane proves faster and more accurate, blasting Hunter dead-center of his chest, and seizes Omega. He’s on screen for only around a couple of minutes, and proves himself to still be very near a HeroKiller.

* The first episode begins with Jedi Knight [[ComicBook/StarWarsKanan Depa Billaba]] and her men about to be overrun by a massive amount of B1 battle droids. Then the young [[WesternAnimation/StarWarsRebels Caleb Dume]] arrives, claiming to have brought reinforcements. When asked where the reinforcements are...

* Hunter and Rafa have a brief bout of SnarkToSnarkCombat before multiple droids show up and they wordlessly just start shooting past each other to take them down, covering each other before taking cover together, despite the persisting tension.
** Afterwards, when Omega is in danger, Hunter swiftly comes up with an escape plan that takes out a lot of the droids in the process, leaving him free to help her. He hooks the support pillar up to the conveyor belt, causing some of the walkways to collapse and wiping out a good number of police droids (and almost Rafa, much to her chagrin).

* The titular rampage of the episode by the hand of Muchi, the baby Rancor, is a sight to behold as she single-handedly mauls the slavers and later goes toe to toe with the leader's pet, which is significantly larger than her, and actually wins. She later meets her match in the form of Wrecker... and only went down due to exhaustion.

** This is actually built upon on the next episode: the InternalReveal suggests Fennec is in fact new to the bounty-hunting scene around this time. The fact that she has already built up such notoriety at this point makes her the equivalent of a newbie athlete outscoring veteran players.

* After how impressive an aged Fennec Shand already was in ''Series/TheMandalorian'', now we get to see her in her prime, expertly worming her way into Omega's confidence, matching Hunter in a shootout, taking down Wrecker with one expertly placed move, and giving her all in a car chase where she survives a crash with nothing more than a slight limp. She also shows she wasn't just a simple bad guy even back then, honoring her deal with the dock master despite the job not working out (not least because it leaves her with a reliable information source).

Nevertheless, the Batch adapt and still manage to come out of the fight on top. Tech and Echo hack one of the droids to shoot for them, and the droids are still vulnerable to their vibro-knives.
