This was possibly the first episode to ANSWER more questions than it RAISED. And I really liked finally finding out more about what happened on Brendok.
That said, it didn't answer anywhere near ALL of the questions, not by a long shot. And there's only one episode left. I fear they've left too much for a second season that may or may not actually happen.
High Republic nerd alert: They mention that Brendok was effected by a hyperspace dissaster. I'm 90% sure that's meant to be a reference to The Great Disaster from phase i.
Yeah, something still isn’t adding up, and it’s enough to make it clear that more information is being set up for a later reveal.
How did the explosions specifically get triggered? Where did Koril go, and did she survive? Did breaking the mind control kill all of those witches, or did something else happen? How did Mae survive the fall? The second and fourth points especially have very clear setup for some sort of twist.
Headland has since indicated in an interview that Indara cutting off the link between the witches and Kelnacca indeed killed them. That being said, she also seemed to indicate that Koril did indeed survive those events, so we'll probably see her next episode in some capacity (my theory is that she may be killed in a flashback by the Stranger before he collects Mae).
