The episode jumps right into the action with Crosshair following the Batch after the previous episode's events. And that is all we see of Crosshair this week.
The animation was still beautiful, but nothing particularly stood out, except for the first shot of the abandoned facility. The music was pretty good, although I really wanted to hear the new theme heard in the last episode a bit more.
It was a very Batch-less episode and it actually worked in the show's favor. All of the members got their own time and space to bring forward their inputs and use their abilities to help rescue their little friend. The three-party stand-off with Bane, Fennec and Omega was one of the best parts about the episode and was handled very well. It allowed for their personalities and powers to pop through and show themselves.
The Bane vs. Fennec fight has to be one of the best fights in the show yet. Although I am still not sure if Bane was going easy on Fennec or if Fennec is supposed to be as strong as Bane. Because I honestly expected Bane to beat her in a couple seconds. Fennec is still probably supposed to be in her early years of bounty hunting, so going toe to toe with Bane and standing her ground was a bit surprising.
The story takes immense momentum in just a few minutes. While not the entire episode is plot-focused, there is a lot of stuff going on that makes it go forward really quick. Omega is revealed to be a kind-of sister to Boba Fett, i.e., an original copy of Jango, and the struggle inside the Kamino elite becomes extremely clear with Lama Su and Nala Se now against each other behind the scenes.
So, with amazing animation and music, albeit not being stand-out, and a really cool action set piece with an interesting stand-off, "Bounty Lost" leaves the Batch aside for a moment to focus on Omega and the bounty hunters, and make the sides a bit more clear, along with dropping a huge bomb about Omega's speciality.
Presentation (Animation/Music, etc.) - 3/4
Story - 3/3
Characters - 2/3.
