A recap of The Acolyte episode 6
Episode 6 of the series was another short outing that helped further set up characters Mae, Osha, Sol, and Qimir for next week. The episode saw Mae sneak up on Sol's ship disguised as Osha and confront him about what happened on Brendok.
However, Sol decided to knock Mae out with a stun gun after he realized that she wasn't Osha and tied her up. He then told her that he always wondered what he would tell her if he ever met her again, and that's where their part of the episode ended.
On Osha and Qimir's side, she woke up on an unknown planet and found Qimir who then pitched her to become his new pupil. However, Osha continued to fight a dark side within her which Qimir tried to bring out. She successfully did so when she almost attacked him with his lightsaber while Sol was unarmed.
Viewers also got to learn that Qimir was a former Jedi himself, and left the order under mysterious circumstances. The episode then saw Qimir invite Osha to check out his Cortosis helmet as it was pretty much impenetrable, and the only thing its wearer could feel was the connection they had to the force. Episode 6 ended with Osha trying on the helmet and breathing heavily.
What can fans expect from The Acolyte episode 7?
Going forward, fans are likely to witness major revelations about Sol, especially considering that he has his own skeletons in the closet when it comes to Brendok. Episode 3 just hinted at something more going down during the fire that took place at Brendok. So, fans can expect to learn exactly what role Sol played in it, other than saving Osha.
With Mae also being captured by him, it will be interesting to see what he has to say to her as well. On Osha's side, many viewers can expect her to fight the pull she has towards the dark side. However, with her putting on Qimir's helmet, it certainly seems like the pull that she felt was perhaps major.
With Qimir also being a former Jedi, fans may get to learn who his Jedi master was and what made him give up the order and become a Sith.
