    One thing I forgot to mention: is it just me, or was there a very confusing edit in the middle of the scene in which the rebel base was under attack. They were taking fire, shit was going crazy, and then…it was dead calm while we saw Belinda reactivating the floor polisher. Which I guess was a flashback?

      I honestly didn’t catch any discontinuity there. I’ll try and spot it when I rewatch the episode.

        Watching it back, I think I was bumped by the fact that Belinda decides to turn herself in while the area is being shelled, and they then cut immediately to her going to the polishbot, but the attack is over by then.

          Yeah, there’s not much conveying “whew, that’s it for now” apart from the change of background soundscape. A small oopsie, you’re right.
