Onboard a Republic assault ship, Master Obi-Wan lays out the objective for the ARC troopers he will be traveling with. As he explains, they are to take control of the Banking Clan headquarters, at which point they are to contact Obi-Wan, who will take over the situation from there. If all goes well, they will be looking at a swift end to a mostly bloodless battle.
With some downtime before the mission begins in earnest, Obi-Wan confronts Anakin, who is working on his ship. There is some lingering tension between the two, and Anakin tries to make the case for himself by pointing out that the Chancellor himself thinks highly of his skills. Obi-Wan counters by explaining that it's not Anakin's skills that are in question, but his maturity. He notes that this is not the first time they've had this conversation.
Above Muunilist, the attack has begun. Skywalker leads a fleet of V-19 fighter ships against the defending Separatists, while Obi-Wan is onboard one of thousands of Republic gunships speeding across the planet's surface. When he gives the order, one of the ships, carrying the ARC team he spoke to at the beginning of the episode, veers off from the rest of the group and toward the Banking Clan headquarters.
In the city of Harnaidan, a lone Battle Droid can be seen racing up the stairs of a tall building. Upon making his way to the rooftop, we see that he is carrying an enormous missile launcher, which he proceeds to fire on the ARC gunship, forcing the team to make a crash landing in the middle of the city. The episode ends with one of the troopers in the droid's crosshairs.
