A recap of The Acolyte episode 7

Episode 7 took the viewers 16 years back in the past with the Jedi investigating vergence on Brendok. This ultimately led them to the coven of witches on the planet where they discovered Osha and Mae and requested the coven whether they could test the twins. The coven reluctantly agreed, however, Mae failed the test on purpose while Osha passed.

Discovering that the twins had a high M-count in their blood, the Jedi decided to seek them out but were met with resistance from the witches. Meanwhile, Mae accidentally started a fire and trapped Osha in her room. When Aniseya tried to save her, Sol took it as a threat and stabbed her. This led to a fight to break out with the witches also getting Kelnacca under their control.

Indara was able to break the witches' grasp on Kelnacca, but this also caused them all to die. Sol then rushed to save the twins, but wasn't able to hold on to the collapsing bridge and decided to sacrifice Mae while saving Osha. The Jedi then decided to lie to Osha saying that Mae started the fire so that they wouldn't break her dream.

Going into the finale, fans can expect to see Osha and Mae finally learn the truth about Brendok. Given that Mae is currently trapped by Sol, viewers can expect her to learn the truth first, followed by Osha. There will certainly be some huge consequences as this would lead Osha to distrust Sol and the Jedi order.

Also, Osha is fighting the urge to join the Dark Side as Qimir is trying to make her a new acolyte. If Osha gets to know the truth, then it may also push her further into joining the Dark side which will certainly be quite dangerous. Fans will also explore more about who Qimir's master is, and with the hints that it could be Vernestra Rwoh, fans can expect a confrontation.
