The Mandalorian Episode 6 Recap
- —-Spoilers!—-
- Episode 6 opens with the Mandalorian landing inside a floating space station and meeting with an old comrade, Ranzar Malk. In need of money, our hero agrees to join a crew of mercenaries and free a prisoner aboard a New Republic prison ship. This group of killers includes the human sharpshooter Mayfield, brutish devaronian Burg, twi’lek Xi’an, and pilot droid, Zero. Despite tensions among the mercenaries and the Mandalorian, they load up the ship and leave.
During the trip, Mayfield and Burg attempt to remove the Mandalorian’s helmet, causing a small scuffle to break out. After the fight, Burg accidentally opens up a door revealing “Baby Yoda” to the mercenaries who believe it’s a pet. Upon arriving at the prison ship, the Mandalorian, Burg, Mayfield, and Xi’an all board the vessel. During their search for the control room, a gunfight breaks out between the mercenaries and a group of New Republic droids. After vanquishing these foes, they discover the bridge where a single human pilot resides.
Threatening to call the New Republic via a tracker, the Mandalorian attempts to talk the soldier down. However, before the soldier is convinced to not call in back up, Xi’an kills him with a knife. This causes him to press the button as he dies, giving the mercenaries 20 minutes before New Republic fighters arrive. Rushing to the prison cell, they open it up and reveal the person their after is Xi’an’s brother and former associate of the Mandalorian, Qin.
Deciding to betray the Mandalorian, the mercenaries shove him into a cell and lock it. This doesn’t stop the bounty hunter for long, as he eventually frees himself, rushes back to the control room, puts the ship into lockdown, and takes the tracking beacon. This divides the mercenaries into two groups, with Qin and Mayfield together and Xi’an and Burg tasked with killing the Mandalorian. Meanwhile on the Mandalorian’s ship, Zero discovers Baby Yoda, but before he can shoot it the creature runs off and hides.
With the mercenaries separated, our protagonist quickly dispatches both Xi’an, Burg, and eventually Mayfield. During all this, Zero continues to scour the ship for the alien child. Before Qin can escape, the Mandalorian confronts him and learns that if he doesn’t bring him back to Malk he won’t get paid. Reluctantly, he brings Qin onto his ship, but not before shooting Zero right as he finds Baby Yoda.
The Mandalorian then arrives back at the space station, dropping Qin off with Malk so he can get paid. After he leaves, Malk decides to betray the Mandalorian and orders a fighter to kill him. Yet, before this happens the beacon the Mandalorian took begins to go off in Qin’s pocket. Realizing the Mandalorian set them up, Malk attempts to escape while a New Republic fighter squadron arrives and decimates the space station.
