Who Else Knows?
Episode 11 of Andor season 2 starts with Imperials showing up at the hospital and looking over the carnage. The current thinking here is that there were three attackers, working as a team to take out the soldiers and get to Luthen.
The evidence the ISB have obtained comes from the scale of attack and the fact that there's no witnesses either. Well, that is until they check the surveillance footage of the area.
The hospital director, Recklaw, is not happy. He hits out at the Empire, until he finds out that this is now a crime scene and obstructing said crime scene could go very badly for him. So naturally, he begrudgingly leaves the Empire to their devices.
All of this messiness is on Dedra though, who's interrogated by the Imperials and, in particular, Orson Krennic. Krennic believes should could be a mole and her connection to Jung is a problem, whom she now learns had security clearance to sniff around her personal files.
Krennic is livid, especially as they've found – among other classified files – two years worth of Jedha Working Group printouts. This thread has given Jung reason to talk to Luthen, but Dedra explains her actions.
She's loyal to the Empire through and through, bringing up how there's a Partisan spy mentioned within the Jedha read-outs which happens to be a valet for the local Moff. She questioned him and the guy, in turn, lead her to Luthen's store.
Dedra believes they need to go after Kleya next, given she too will know Luthen's secrets, but Krennic ignores her and keeps the woman in custody.
Over at the hospital, the ISB watch security footage of Kleya leaving, making her public enemy number 1. The noose is tightening around her, especially as the security forces trace every step.
While this is going on, Kleya manages to salvage her radio equipment, sending out a distress signal in morse code across to Yavin, needing assistance to be saved.
Over on Yavin, Wilmon is the one who receives the signal and he immediately lets Cassian know, who's currently hanging with K-S20 who has been patched up and playing cards.
Some of the rebels are concerned that this could be a trap and try to talk him around, but Andor refuses to listen and heads to the signal's origin. Unfortunately, the Empire also catch wind of the signal too, checking the broadcast frequency and closing in on Kleya's location.
Time is very much of the essence here, especially as stormtroopers track down the apartment, just as Andor touches down and heads out to get her. Andor gets there first, where Kleya tells him what she knows about the superweapon. He knows they can't stay here though, and encourages her to head out to Yavin.
Kleya isn't sure whether this is a good move though, and as they bicker back and forth, soldiers close in on their location.
The Episode Review
So the penultimate episode of Andor starts to deepen the ties, with Kleya sending out this distress signal so she can tell Andor and the others about the superweapon but only when they arrive. She's in a difficult spot here because she's Wanted across the planet and given the public warrant out for her, she's got no choice but to hang at the apartment, alone.
The one thing here that's handled really well though is the irony around Dedra's character. She's ultimately her own downfall, with the delivery of the Death Star plans moving to Jung then Luthen and Kleya. Given how she's the perfect product of the Empire – raised and born for this life and loyal through and through – it's quite funny to see her as the one responsible for its ultimate undoing.
Everything here is left wide open for the finale though, which promises to bridge the gap leading up to Rogue One.
