Ahsoka is assigned to accompany Jedi Master Luminara Unduli on her mission to bring Trade Federation Viceroy Nute Gunray in to face trial. Meanwhile, Count Dooku has tasked Asajj Ventress with the job of freeing the Viceroy…or silencing him. Darth Sidious has made it clear that another failure by Ventress will not be tolerated. While Luminara and Ahsoka butt heads over their differing approaches to interrogating the Viceroy, Ventress puts her plan into action.

Dooku specifically does not refer to Asajj Ventress as his apprentice in front of Darth Sidious, indicating that he is keeping that aspect of their relationship a secret from his master.
