Andor season 2 hasn't even reached its final act yet, but things are already at fever pitch. The latest batch of episodes saw the horrifying Ghorman Massacre, Mon Mothma's stirring speech to the senate, and a long-awaited confrontation. Well, for one party, anyway.

In the midst of the violence that breaks out on Ghorman in episode 8, Syril Karn (Kyle Soller) still manages to spot Cassian Andor (Diego Luna) across Tarkin Square. He's waited a long time for this moment, and he instantly rushes over to confront him as years of obsession come to a head. Cassian, however, doesn't even recognize him and asks, "Who are you?" Before this has had the chance to sink in, Carro Rylanz shoots Syril in the head and he dies.
