However, the seventh episode turned things around for the heavily criticized series with one simple scene. The episode is a flashback to the events on Brendok that led tothe death of Osha and Mae’s witch coven. In one scene, Mother Aniseya warns the Jedi about their noble intentions leading to their fall.

Furthermore, the dialog also draws parallels between Sol trying to rescue Osha and Qui-Gon Jinn rescuing Anakin Skywalker, both noble intentions.
