Jacen enters the Jedi Temple and is overwhelmed by the lust for power he feels. He thinks he is not the only one feeling the tugs of the dark side. He is able to walk backwards in time and sees his grandfather Anakin Skywalker storming the Jedi temple. He touches Anakin’s emotions and is pleased that he does not have the same sense of agonizing love and potential loss that consumed Vader. He then watches in horror as Anakin kills Jedi and jerks himself back to the present. He knows his path to the Sith will be much different and far less horrible. He knows he must test Lumiya to see if she is really a help to him. He reaches through the Force and commands her to Coruscant.

Han is ambushed by a bounty hunter, but is able to hold him off until Leia arrives to save him. They decide Coruscant is a safer place to stay and head home.

Jacen and Ben await Lumiya although Ben things she’s only an informant. Ben continues to impress Jacen with his wisdom and hopes he’ll one day be his Sith apprentice. Lumiya arrives and Jacen takes her to the Jedi Temple. Once inside she proves she is able to hide her dark presence. They encounter Luke but he is unaffected by her presence.

Ben is investigating Corellian activity and learns the water supply has been contaminated. He overhears Corellians saying they know they’ll get the blame for it. He gets caught up in a riot taking place at the water plant. Ben tries to contact Jacen, but cannot reach him.

When Boba and Mirta land at their destination, Boba heads off without her.

As Han works on the Falcon, he sees Jacen, Leia and Jaina talking. Jaina says Jacen has been acting strangely lately.

As his parents tend to Ben’s wounds, the Solos arrive. Han and Luke argue over the GA handling of the situation. Han storms out to find a new ship since the Falcon is in bad shape. As Jacen prepares to leave, Luke senses the Lumiya has returned and thinks she is the dark figure he’s been dreaming of!

Because Mara is not interested, G‘vli G’Sil, head of the GA Security Council, Omas ask Jacen to head up the secret police. Jacen accepts the position as long as he can have his own team and unfettered access to information. They agree, but the authority will still have to come from the Senate.

Pellaeon resigns his post over Jacen’s appointment, and is quickly replaced by Niathal who is a Jacen supporter. The Corellians do not like the change of administration. Thrackan announces Centerpoint will be online again in three months.

Jacen and Lumiya decide that all Corellians on Coruscant should be placed in internment camps.

Jacen, Ben, along with Lon Shevu (Jacen’s top captain) lead five hundred troops into the Corellian area of Coruscant and begin searching all apartments.

Han and Leia look on in pain as their son leads the attack. Han says it’s the Empire all over again. News from the streets, however, shows that many others on the planet support Jacen’s actions.

Mara meets with Jacen and Ben and tells them that Luke is livid. He has called a High Council meeting. When she asks, Jacen tells her that there is someone he wishes he could be with, but cannot at the moment.

Han and Leia meet with Gejjen who confirms his party will establish a new government if Thrackan is killed.

Omas meets with Niathal and Jacen to tell them of the uproar that is taking place with several planets withdrawing delegations.

Fett infiltrates the biotech firm hoping to find Taun We. He finds her, but says her data will not save him. She says much of the original clone data was taken by someone else. If he could retrieve it, she would top any offer he got. When he returns to the ship, Thrackan has left him a message saying he has a proposition.

After some training exercises, Luke and Mara look on in sadness as they see their son by Jacen’s side during the raids. Later Jaina tells Luke that she no longer trusts her brother and senses darkness in him.

As Ben follows Jacen on another raid, he begins to grow increasingly wary about the situation.

After Thrackan announces a Centerpoint update, Niathal and Jacen ask Omas for permission to blockade Corellia, but Omas says he must seek Senate approval. Niathal tells Jacen that she plans to start taking steps anyway. Jacen requests command of a battle group and Niathal obliges by putting him in charge of Jaina’s.

As Fett heads to meet Thrackan, he contacts another Mandalorian and tells him to get some commandos ready as they are going to protect Centerpoint station.

In the Jedi High Council meeting, many are concerned with Jacen’s and Ben’s actions. Luke says he’ll be asking Ben to remove himself from the situation. Some believe that Jacen is an embarrassment, and perhaps he should be brought closer into the Jedi fold and even make him a Master.

After the meeting, Mara praises Jacen’s influence on Ben saying he’s been a big part in Ben’s maturation process. Luke finally admits that Lumiya has returned.
