== Plot ==
{{Long plot|section|date=March 2022}}

===Flashbacks===

An armored hovertrain approaches the [[Tusken Raider|Tusken Raiders’]] camp, taking out several Tuskens before riding away into the desert. Later that night, the Tuskens cremate their fallen. Troubled by their plight, [[Boba Fett]] travels to Tosche Station armed with a gaderffii stick and [[Blaster (Star Wars)|rifle]]. Nikto miners attack Fett at the cantina. Fett fights the miners, and takes their [[Speeder bike|speeder bikes]] outside the cantina back to the Tuskens' camp, and begins to teach them how to ride and use the bikes in a plan to rob the hovertrain.

Days later, the hovertrain approaches, Fett and the Tuskens pursue the train with the speeder bikes. They manage to board it, jumping across carriages and fighting several sentries, eventually approaching the train engine, where Fett stops the train by using his gaderffii stick to disable the ship's engines. The Tuskens loot the train of weapons and supplies, and take the surviving Pykes captive. Fett asks who the leader is. The leading Pyke stands up, removing his mask. Fett tells him that since the Tuskens claim the Dune Sea as ancestral ground, a toll must now be paid for passage, and lets them return to the Pyke Syndicate with these new terms.

Later, the Tusken chief gives Fett a lizard in a basket, which climbs into his nostrils, causing him to experience visions including him climbing out of the [[Sarlacc]]{{efn|As depicted in ''[[Return of the Jedi]]'' (1983) and ''[[The Book of Boba Fett]]'' episode “Chapter 1: Stranger in a Strange Land” (2021)}} and watching [[Jango Fett|his father]] leave Kamino on the [[Slave I]] as a child.{{efn|As depicted in ''[[Star Wars: Episode II – Attack of the Clones]]'' (2002)}} Fett returns to the Tusken camp the following day, and presents a branch from his night journey to the Tuskens. They lead Fett to a tent, where they clothe him in Tusken robes, and help him forge the branch into a new gaderffii stick. He parties that night with the other Tuskens, becoming one of their own.

===Present===

[[Fennec Shand]] leads the captured assassin from the first episode into Boba’s palace, where he holds him in court, demanding to know who sent him. After arguing, Shand presses a button that activates the trapdoor to the [[Rancor|Rancor's]] den. The assassin panics and reveals he was sent by the mayor of Mos Espa. Begging for his life, Shand reveals the pit is empty, and they take him to visit the Ithorian mayor, Mok Shaiz. Once there, one of the mayor's guards shoot the assassin, and thanks Fett for turning him in, revealing he didn’t send the assassin or have intentions of killing him, and tells Boba to visit Garsa Fwip.

At Garsa's Sanctuary and Garsa explains that "the Twins" have laid claim to their late cousin [[Jabba the Hutt|Jabba's]] bequest. Fett, Shand, and the Gamorreans walk outside to see a procession carrying the two Hutts. Fett tells the Hutts this is his territory, prompting the latter to claim this as Jabba's territory and now theirs. Fett rejects this, stating that he is the Daimyo of Mos Espa. An armed black [[Wookiee]] known as [[Krrsantan|Black Krrsantan]] approaches, but Fett is not intimidated, telling them they will have to kill him for the territory. As Shand and Krrsantan load their weapons, but Hutts leave, saying the matter will be dealt with later. As Shand tells Fett that they will have to get permission to kill the Hutts, Fett accepts that this is not over yet.
