Senator Farr's death is determined to have been murder and Lieutenant Tan Divo of the Coruscant Security Force is called in to investigate.

Lieutenant Divo tells them off for attempting their own investigation, and reveals that the autopsy concluded that Ono was slipped a Rodian-specific poison made by the Kaminoans. On this evidence, Senator Burtoni is arrested for the murders. Padmé though, spots a thread: If the poison only affected Rodians, why wasn't Lolo killed as well?

After a brief, unwelcome intrusion by the unpleasant Kaminoan Senator Halle Burtoni, they drink, only for Farr to suddenly drop dead moments later. Everyone is in shock, and Lolo is promoted to Senator, while Ono's body is sent back to Rodia.
Senator Farr's death is determined to have been murder, and Lieutenant Tan Divo of the Coruscant Security Force is called in to investigate. He rubs Padmé the wrong way, though, on top of apparently making little to no progress. Padm´ learns from Umbaran Senator Mee Deechi, who was having Ono watched, that he had a meeting at the docks the night before his death. She and Bail go to investigate, and are attacked by a hooded assailant, who eventually escapes.
Padmé and Bail, on returning to the Senate office building, go to Deechi's office to confront him, believing him to be the assailant, only to discover he's been stabbed.
Lieutenant Divo tells them off for attempting their own investigation, and reveals that the autopsy concluded that Ono was slipped a Rodian-specific poison made by the Kaminoans. On this evidence, Senator Burtoni is arrested for the murders. Padmé though, spots a thread: If the poison only affected Rodians, why wasn't Lolo killed as well? She was also poured a glass, so the only way she could have avoided being poisoned was if she didn't drink . . . so why wouldn't she drink . . . unless she put the poison there to begin with.
Yes, Lolo's the killer, and she attempts to take Padmé hostage, but is eventually arrested. Her motive? She thought that Farr was "weak" and didn't deserve to be Senator anymore after he briefly sided with the Separatists. She'd tried to threaten him at the docks to get him to resign, but he refused, so she decided to kill him. She's duly taken away to jail.
