It's back to our regular scheduled programming this week with another "mission of the week". Or at least so we thought. "The Crossing" starts off in a very unassuming way but as things go from bad to worse on a this gold rush era, western themed mystery planet, it becomes evident that this episode has a little more going on under the surface (ahem, pun not intended). In what can be described as a "bottle episode" the creative team at Lucasfilm animation chose to forgo the larger plot and instead concentrate on some character work, specifically Omega struggling with change and loss after Echo's departure, as well as Tech's inability to relate to her. It's a welcome change from the less-than-complex one-off episodes we've seen this season, even if it does still feel light compared to the highs of the the two-part episodes last week.
