* DangerouslyGenreSavvy: Thrawn, of course. When Pryce reports that the rebels only have three cruisers, he realizes that they're only a fraction of the actual fleet and tells her to let them go rather than destroy a promising lead.



* OhCrap:
** Sabine when she realizes that the Y-wings have no hyperdrives, leaving them with no escape in front of a Star Destroyer.
** Ezra when the Phantom is destroyed, leaving him stranded on the station as it plummets.



* PsychologicalProjection: Kanan first pins the fear he's feeling on the spiders, then Ezra, before realizing it's his own.
* PsychosomaticSuperpowerOutage: Kanan repressing his emotions and distancing himself from everyone has severely limited his ability to sense things through the Force, to the point where he can't feel the Sith holocron, the krykna, or even Ezra. The Bendu helps him deal with it, at which point he immediately senses Ezra in danger.



* SinkOrSwimMentor: Bendu breaks the sensor marker and has Kanan walk into a cluster of krykna to teach him how to sense things with the Force. He's nearly eaten before he catches on.

* BreakTheHaughty: Ezra ''brags'' about what he's learned from listening to the Sith Holocron, how it's helped him move up in the Rebellion's hierarchy, and how he can use it to defeat the Sith. Kanan and Hera's respective scoldings, pointing out the consequences of his actions and reprimanding him, knock him down a peg or two.

* StatusQuoIsGod: After having it for one episode (though there ''was'' a TimeSkip between this and the last), Ezra gets the Sith Holocron confiscated. [[SubvertedTrope Too bad the damage is already done]], because the Presence taught Ezra enough that he's at risk of falling to the Dark side. And it turns out they have to get it back in the next episode, but if the Season 3 trailer means anything, it's a DoubleSubversion.

Having established a secret base on Atollon, the Ghost crew, now led by a more powerful Ezra, strengthens the rebel fleet by acquiring new resources and recruits eager to stand against the Empire. However, the Imperial efforts to eliminate the rebellion are now being led by the coldly analytical Grand Admiral Thrawn, whose strategic, tactical and cultural insights make him a threat unlike any they have faced before.

* DespiteThePlan: The ''Phantom'' hits a dismantling droid, blowing the recon plan. The Imperials start incinerating the Y-Wings to keep them from falling into Rebel hands, leading to Ezra deciding to change it into a full-on retrieval mission. Hondo manages to convince the Ugnaught workers into stopping the incinerations in exchange for safe passage off the station, and Ezra lets the station fall while everyone else fuels up and grabs a Y-Wing. It works... but it results in the loss of the ''Phantom'', and if Kanan hadn't come in the last second, Ezra would've been trapped and died.
