Great episode.

Glad Bo-Katan is still a part of it. I thought she may have earned the Dark Saber by rescuing Din, but I guess not.
 
Episode 3-2 was much better than 1. Still want to see Grogu grab a light sword and chop something to pieces.
 
Holy crap. I loved everything about that episode.

1. Grogu is a character with agency now. He is capable of doing things. He's no longer just a cute sack of potatoes that gets put in scenes that make you go "Awww..." The way he just casually force slammed that Alamite on his way out of the ruins was such a great "I don't have time for your bullshirt right now" move.

2. I love what they're doing with Bo-Katan. She's disillusioned, she cynical. She thinks Din is silly for believing in these things. Yet she's still helping him because she knows that Mandalorians are stronger together and however weird she may view the tenets of his sect, he's still a Mandalorian. They kind of need one another at this point: she needs his earnest belief in the tenets and the creed, he needs her knowledge and experience. When he gives her that "This is the way" after she talks about her father dying defending Mandalore, there's no cynicism or dismissal there. It's a genuine moment.

3. On that note, the Mythosaur reveal at the end. So awesome. Bo-Katan talks about how everything is myths and legends and then...the supposedly extinct symbol of her people starers her right in the eye. Great way to end the episode. .
 
This episode ruled from start to finish. This along w/ this week's The Bad Batch was probably the strongest week of Star Wars TV that we've ever had since I don't recall there ever being any overlap b/w shows before these seasons of these 2 shows...
 
AWESOMEness!

Can't believe 'the red one' callback, just great writing and flexing of universe knowledge! I am most curious about that small living creature that was using all the equipment and trapping mandalorians--draining there blood/fluids.

All of that, yes!

All of that between your point 2 and 3 was more emotionally heavy than I thought it would be.

Also, Bo-Katan wielding the dark saber, effortlessly, was just amazing. That's probably going to be a thing.

Mythosaur... believe in me now?

And I agree with Grogu. On the verge of speaking? And when he was afraid, and Bo-Katan tells him not to be afraid, she needs him to lead her. That little look of resolution and clicking on the light, was perfect.

Here I thought the next episode or two would be Mando getting the IG parts, and helping people out to get what he needs, nope. That went on for all of 20 seconds. Just go to Mandalore with this random Droid. This story is going to be so much bigger. Love it.

I think Bo-Katan might tame the mythosaur
I believe that's trumps the darksaber and would make her the Mando 'lar
Also it would keep the darksaber on Din and probably lead to Grogu weilding it down the line.
It's also good to see Bo seeing the good side of the creed. It'll move her a little closer to the religious sect of Mandos so she can be their leader as well.
Possibly also have Bo-Katan ease the never take your helmet off rule for season 4 and keep Pedro Pascal happy
