Episode 4 recap - Luthen offers Cassian $200,000 credits to go through with the heist

The previous episode of Andor, titled Aldhani, was directed by Susanna White and Dan Gilroy. It aired on September 28 and picked up from where the three-part premiere left off, with Cassian Andor and Luthen Rael soaring through space.

The two finally got a chance to talk after getting away from the Pre-Mor Authority and Luthen revealed why he’s recruited Cassian, who was reluctant to join the Rebel forces.

Luthen wanted Cassian to partake in a dangerous mission, one that would see a team of Rebels steal the quarterly payroll of the Imperial sector. He didn't delve into why they would be doing this, but it was clear they would use that information to hit back at the Empire. Even then, Cassian still wasn't convinced it was worth their while.

Luthen then offered Cassian $200,000 credits to go through with the heist, which was something Cassian could use, especially if he was going into hiding. He ultimately agreed, but his status as a mercenary wasn't welcome news for Vel, the leader of the mission.

With Luthen threatening to call it off altogether, she didn't get much say in Cassian’s involvement. It was clear that she and her comrades did not trust him, and that would complicate matters later.

While Cassian got to know the Rebels he would be working with, Luthen took a journey to Coruscant, where he found Senator Mon Mothma. The pair touched base briefly, and viewers got to meet Mon Mothma’s husband. He didn't seem to know about her ties with the Rebel Alliance, and he welcomed a number of enemies into their lives.

Mon Mothma’s husband to throw a dinner party in episode 5

Although there hasn't been any preview or title reveal of the upcoming episode of Andor episode 5, viewers can expect Mon Mothma’s husband to throw a dinner party, where the tensions will likely be high. None of the well-to-do attendees will know what Mon Mothma is up to with the Rebellion. However, her secrets will threaten to spill.

Episode 5 will also likely spend more time with Cassian’s new team, as viewers haven’t gotten to know the characters very well. They will continue to be cautious around Cassian, as he remains a big unknown to them.

Syril Karn also seemed pretty unhappy after being scolded by his higher-ups. He will probably be looking to prove himself again soon and that won't bode well for Cassian and his new allies.

Stream the upcoming season of Disney+'s Andor on Wednesday, October 5.
