The Knights arent alright.
I can see a little bit of both of those concerns in episode two.

(She uses the same words: We have unfinished business.
Attack me with all your strength.)
Her attempts to take him out with her knife-throwing skills prove futile.

Like every Jedi, he onlythinkshes found peace, Qimir says.
What he really needs is something only you could give him.
He floats down to the ground and says, Forgive me.
We thought we were doing the right thing.
Then he drinks the poison.
The pacing issues that keptThe Acolytes first episode from being a four-star winner havent improved much in episode two.
Granted, theres always been a little bit of stiffness toStar Warswhen its in expository mode.
Mae and Qimir have real chemistry.
Headland is still handling action well, too, although theres really only one big set-piece in this episode.
There are a few interesting takeaways from their skirmish, though.
(So far though, each of her killshasinvolved weapons.
