Maarva has one last surprise for the Empire, courtesy of a recording stored in B2 that urges the people of Ferrix stand up and fight against their oppressors. This sparks a riot and all hell breaks loose. Stormtroopers open fire on the crowd, while Dedra almost sees her own life cut short, but she survives thanks to Syril, who is also on Ferrix searching for Cassian.

They eventually escape and Cassian helps Bix and the rest of his loved ones find a ship to go off-world before the Empire can catch them. But Cassian’s not going with them. As Luthen said earlier this season, it’s time to “fight these bastards.”
The Andor finale ties up plenty of loose ends, while setting a few storylines for the second season: what’s next for Cassian, the newest Rebel operative joining Luthen’s team of secret agents? Will Syril get the power and authority he hungers for now that he’s proven himself to be a useful ally for Dedra? Will all these disparate Rebel cells spread out across the galaxy finally come together to form the Rebel Alliance? And will Mon Mothma ever solve her banking issues?
