The sixth episode of The Acolyte is now out and this episode is filled with plot twists, more action and an exploration of the dark side of the force, this episode also has the title “Teach/Corrupt” and it focuses on the further development of the relations and the motives of the characters since the beginning of the series including now Vernestra Rwoh since she could be the one to fault for all this mess. We witness the characters dealing with their past and allegiance while fighting the constant menace of the dark side, good example is how it seems Osha might join Qimir and probably Mae, twins back together on the dark side?. This episode is full of twists and turns that will leave the a large part of the audience, at least the small audience that still watch the show; in disbelieve that there is no way they ended the episode on such cliff hanger, this is one of the best episodes so far along with episode four and the big light saber fight between Qimir and the Jedi.

Qimir is very smart and powerful so he has nothing to loose and could just snap Osha neck at any time he wants; he uses indirect approaches that are quite efficient, he does not tell Ohsa a direct lie, but rather leaves out some facts which give a rather negative picture of the Jedi, very sleek of him. He reveal to her that the Jedi have been holding her back and she is capable of much more than what the Jedi have been allowing her to do, makes me wonder if he knows where they came from, I mean the twins. This is in agreement with Ohsa who has always felt like an outcast in the Order and one of the reasons she "left". It actually look too easy but to be hones Osha is not that smart, this seduction turns out successful when Ohsa wears the Cortosis helmet, , this scene is quite intense and a bit creepy, she can't almost see shit with the helmet but probably its  the hole idea, she alone with the Force.

The episode suggests that there is some more to Qimir’s relationship with other characters especially Sol, as it is clear that they have a certain conflict and some sort of relation, but it is not completely clear what it is, seem like Qimir remembers Sol but not the other way around, there is some sort of uncompleted story between them creating a thicker layer of suspense making me wonder what else is there to know about them besides Sol keep telling Osha / Mae that he will tell her the truth for the past three episodes now and we yet don't know wtf he is talking about.

The sixth episode of The Acolyte is one of the best examples of how a single episode can focus on the characters growth, conflicts, and feelings comparing to the rest of the series, it goes into detail about the dark side, the web of lies between Jedi, not everything is pink color for them neither. The aspects of the seduction of Ohsa, the enigma of Qimir and the struggle within Sol makes for a very interesting and twisted plot that keeps me interested on the series despite all the negativity around it, I have mention before this series is probably not good for Star Wars fan but its entertaining and might get new viewers into the franchise.
