Bad Batch Season 2 Episode 4 Recap
Cid tells Omega, Tech, and Wrecker that she has another task for them while Hunter & Echo are out on the job on Ord Mantell. She takes them with her to Safa Toma as security because the area is a lawless haven for many.
Riot races take place on a circuit, and Cid has a racer competing, earning her winnings. She races with a bashful droid named TAY-O, who is quite confident in its skills. The race and its turbulence fascinate Tech and others.
Grini Millegi, a frightening local criminal who knows Cid from her past, visits them when they’re at their pit. He claims to have the best racer and makes a bet with Cid on the winner.
Cid is sure that TAY-O will win, but just before the finish line, TAY-O is knocked unconscious by a one-two punch from two other racers. Millegi arrives to collect his reward, but Omega strikes a deal with him. If they lose again, she offers double, but if they win, he has to free Cid. Millegi accepts and keeps Cid as security while Tech and Wrecker collect the ship’s wreckage and the droid from rebuilding them.
TAY-O is reassembled for the race the following day, and Tech spends the morning analyzing the track and the various patterns. Finally, Millegi suggests a forfeit as they no longer race, but Tech volunteers to race instead. As Tech goes to take the wheel, the gangster agrees to the amendment.
He lags at the race’s start but insists it’s all part of his plan. He manages to move to the front of the line with some quick thinking, and right before the finish line, he is faced with the identical move that TAY-O faced. He does, however, successfully dodge the attack and win the race.
Millegi keeps his promise and lets Cid join them, even if Cid admits that she owes them one. Millegi warns the clones as they leave that their loyalty to Cid may not be returned. Thus they must remain alert.

Ending explained: Is Cid going to betray The Bad Batch?
Cid’s allegiance was called into question several times in this episode, with Millegi advising the crew not to put too much trust in her. While Cid had no evil intent throughout the episode, the show stresses the need to be aware of her.
We know very little about Cid’s history — despite being a former Jedi spy and assisting The Bad Batch with loot-worthy tasks, she is partly accountable for all the danger factors involved.
So in the following episodes, she’ll endanger The Bad Bad for her advantage. For the time being, Cid’s betrayal is a Chekov’s gun ready to fire.

Bad Batch Season 2 Episode 4 Review
The possibility of Cid betraying the Bad Batch is explored briefly in this episode, and while it has been hinted at on occasion, the scene here clearly points to future conflict. It’s a fascinating plot line.
With Echo and Hunter out, the tone soon lightens, and Tech steps forward to demonstrate his tactical abilities in a new setting. Animated series require numerous filler episodes to round out a season; this does the job wonderfully. It advances a minor narrative issue while giving one of the supporting characters some screen time.
