This is the episode where the plan is finally put into action. We're at the halfway point of the season, and I get the impression that the focus is going to shift a little after this episode. So this is kind of like a mid-season finale from back in the day when shows would actually have a break during the season.
We get to see the Aldhani in this episode as they gather to see the Eye. In the end though, they play a background role in what's happening. The group pretends to be some of the soldiers who are escorting the Aldhani in order to gain access.
When they do reveal themselves, Beehaz insists that he doesn't have access to the payroll and that they won't be able to access it. However, they do manage to gain access, and despite a few minor hiccups, nothing ever really seems like it's going to make the plan fall apart. I wasn't quite at the edge of my seat or anything like that. There are deaths in this episode, but none of those had a huge impact on me either.
The group falls apart quite quickly once they're under pressure. This is especially apparent when Nemik is dying, and Vel doesn't want to take him to a doctor. Cassian takes him to the doctor anyway, but he ends up dying. Interestingly, even though Skeen was the one who wanted to take Nemik to a doctor, he then turns on the others by trying to convince Cassian to take part in a plan where they split the money between the two of them.
Cassian then demands his cut and wants a ship to get away on his own. Obviously, we're not going to see the group members who died again, but I wonder if this is the last we'll see of Vel. I did think the group was going to play a larger role than they seem to have done, and now that they have the money, I really do wonder what will come next because I have no idea.
