What happened in 'The Acolyte' Episode 6?
Osha awakens, having been healed by the Sith Lord, only to find herself abandoned on an unknown planet.
Meanwhile, on Coruscant, Master Sol triggers Emergency Code Zero and attempts to reach out to Master Vernestra (Rebecca Henderson).
Master Sol embraces Mae, who is disguised as Osha, expressing his desire to confront the High Council and set things right.
Bazil (Hassan Taj) confronts Mae and attacks her, but she manages to reconnect the pip before resetting it to its factory settings.
On the unknown planet, Osha encounters the Sith Master, formerly known as Qimir, and seizes his lightsaber while he steps out for a bath.
Qimir speaks with Osha about her relationship with Master Sol, discussing how she values him more than anyone else.
Qimir reveals that he was a Jedi long ago. Osha informs him that Sol possesses strength in the Force and will likely search for her, but Qimir responds, stating that it is Osha's strength in the Force that matters, not Sol's.
He tells Osha that her relationship with the Jedi is one-sided and asks her to go deeper. However, she refuses to heed his words. He informs Osha that the Jedi cast her aside due to her vulnerability and emotions.
Qimir reveals to Osha that losing everything is what ultimately liberated him. Despite holding a lightsaber to his neck, Osha refuses to kill him.
Meanwhile, Sol speaks with Mae and is on the verge of revealing everything about her childhood when the connection is suddenly established.
Mae goes to talk to the transponder, but Master Sol recognizes her true identity and incapacitates her.
Qimir admits to Osha that he made a mistake with Mae and shares that he was betrayed by his Jedi Master, who stabbed him in the back. Meanwhile, Master Vernestra leads her team to Khofar to find the dead Jedi.
Qimir tells Osha to try on the Cortosis helmet, and she reluctantly agrees. Meanwhile, Master Sol tells Mae that he wants to share everything he's kept secret for 17 years.
What to expect from 'The Acolyte' Episode 7?
After hinting at it throughout the episode, we're left with a teaser of Master Sol's true secret, which we anticipate will be fully explained in the next episode, now that Sol has Mae securely tied up and can speak freely.
Once the revelation is made, we might witness Sol setting out to search for the Sith and Osha. Additionally, we'll uncover Qimir's backstory and learn about his Jedi Master who betrayed him and stabbed him in the back.
Finally, we will witness the true capabilities of the Cortosis helmet as Osha tries it on. Qimir explains that the helmet blocks out external senses, allowing the Force to function.
Additionally, we may discover Master Vernestra's plans for protecting the Jedi and her next steps.
Episodes 1-6 of 'The Acolyte' are streaming on Disney+.
