"Chapter 22: Guns for Hire" is the sixth episode of the third season of the American television series The Mandalorian. It was written by showrunner Jon Favreau and directed by Bryce Dallas Howard. It was released on Disney+ on April 5, 2023, and received generally positive reviews.
Plot
Bo-Katan, Din Djarin and Grogu set out for the idyllic planet Plazir-15, where Bo-Katan's former army, now led by Axe Woves, have set themselves up as mercenaries after returning a Mon Calamari nobleman to his father the Mon Calamari Viceroy.
Before they can meet them, they are involuntarily diverted by the planet's rulers, ex-Imperial officer Captain Bombardier and the unnamed Duchess of Plazir-15, who ask for their help in neutralizing several repurposed—but malfunctioning—Imperial and Separatist droids. After stopping a rogue droid, Bo-Katan and Djarin follow its trail to The Resistor, a droid bar, and convince its bartender and clientele to help them. They find out that the droids were sabotaged through nanodroids in the bar's maintenance fluid, which were covertly imported by Commissioner Helgait, head of the planetary Security Office. Confronted, Helgait reveals himself as a Separatist, threatening to activate the droids back to their original 'battle droid' programming before Bo-Katan knocks him out. The Duchess exiles a remorseful Helgait to the Moon of Paraquaat for a while.
Granted an audience with the Mandalorian privateers, Bo-Katan challenges Woves for leadership and defeats him. Woves tries to goad her into challenging Din for the Darksaber, telling her that the true ruler of Mandalore should possess the ancient weapon. Bo Katan reasons that in order to take Mandalore, they should stop fighting each other and join forces. To help her ascendance, Djarin admits his capture by the cyborg in the mines of Mandalore and his rescue by Bo-Katan, defeating his captor. Seeing the truth in this revelation, Woves and the others accept that the Darksaber rightfully belongs to her. Din then bestows the weapon to her.
