Andor: “Messenger” (Season 2, Episode 7)

The girls are fighting!! And by the girls, we mean the Rebellion and Luthen (probably).

In Andor’s “Messenger” (S2, E7) we parse the schism between the Rebellion proper and…whatever Luthen is up to. Relationships are at the core of this episode, and we dig into Bix and Cassian’s healthy, established love; Dedra and Syril’s anemic but weirdly passionate love affair; and Vel’s grieving process. We also watch Cassian fight to remain a free agent, even as the Rebellion grows steadily more organized. Also, does Bix have a job??
