* ThisIsGonnaSuck: At the end of the episode, Gascon admits that the droids make a good team, that he was proud to lead them, and [[BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor would be happy to do so again anytime, anywhere]]. WAC then reveals that he'll get plenty of chances, since they've all been assigned to the same platoon together for the rest of the war. To say Gascon's [[HereWeGoAgain smile after this]] is strained is an understatement.

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: The encryption module was the whole point of D-Squad's original mission, but after numerous moments where it changed hands or seemed in danger of being lost, it disappears from the plot thanks to needing to focus on stopping the cruiser from crashing into the Republic conference. While Gascon presumbably delivers it to the Jedi offscreen, it is never revealed if it gets used, or what the coded message it was meant for contained. Although it is possible the big, hidden mission in question was, in fact, the bomb-cruiser plot.

* DueToTheDead: Gascon eulogizes BZ after he gets ThrownOutTheAirlock with the Buzz Droids.
-->'''Gascon:''' When this D-Squad started our mission, I had doubts. Grave doubts that we would ever survive, let alone succeed. But we worked together. We didn't give up hope. We showed courage in the face of death. It shocks me to say this, but we make an excellent team. Now we've lost one of our members...BZ. But we must remember. BZ sacrificed himself for us. That's what a good soldier does sometimes. The only way to honor that sacrifice is to stop this ship and prevent the Separatists from taking any more Republic lives. Are you with me?

After escaping Pons Ora in a cargo shuttle, the D-Squad heads for the Jedi Cruiser they saw in orbit, but upon landing discover that the ship seems to be devoid of personnel. After the ship jumps to hyperspace, they discover otherwise: it's packed to the rafters with Abafar's highly volatile rhydonium fuel. An encounter with a few surviving Republic droids reveals that the Separatists hijacked the ship and plan to ram it into the Republic strategy conference at Carida.
It's up to D-Squad to stop the Separatists' plot before it's too late.

!!Tropes:
* DisneyDeath: R2 gets blown up when he prematurely detonates the rhydonium on the hijacked cruiser so it won't destroy the space station the conference is held on. He gets badly damaged, but his body and memory core are still intact, and he's fully repaired by the end.
* ForegoneConclusion: Anakin, Obi-Wan and Tarkin are among the people present at the conference, and you ''know'' they're not dying. Neither is R2, for that matter.
* HeroicSacrifice:
** BZ blows himself and a massive amount of buzz droids off the ship while it's in hyperspace, getting disintegrated.
** R2 stays onboard the cruiser to stop the detonation, and ends up setting the detonator off early. Of course, he is intact enough to get fully repaired.
* OhCrap:
** Colonel Gascon, when he discovers that the Jedi Cruiser is full of rhydonium, meaning that the ship is a flying bomb.
** The Super Tactical Droid in charge of the bomb operation has a more subdued one when, after he tells R2 that the detonator can't be switched off, R2 simply accelerates the sequence so the ship will blow too early.
* ThrownOutTheAirlock: BZ spaces himself with a huge amount of buzz droids while the ship is in hyperspace to save the others.
