An improvement. This episode was better than Rising Malevolence, and it still left room for yet a third Malevolence episode, making this storyline into a trilogy of episodes. There were some cool confrontation scenes here, like the one where Anakin, Plo, and the clones fired their torpedoes at the firing chamber for the Malevolence's deadly ion weapon. The explosion that followed worked really well, so overall this episode was good, but still not as good as the premiere.
IGN Rating: Unknown, as it was taken off the website
