The tenth episode of the animated television show Star Wars Resistance's first season is called "Secrets and Holograms". It was initially broadcast on December 2, 2018.
The episode begins with Torra Doza engaged in a session of the flight simulator game known as Flight Simulator Squadron. Despite her best efforts, her starfighter is consumed by an exogorth. Frustrated, Torra collapses onto the floor, where her voorpak companion, Buggles, playfully jumps on her. Torra embraces her pet, expressing a desire to escape Doza Tower for a few hours. She suggests persuading her father, Captain Imanuel Doza, to embark on a hover cruise.
At his office, Captain Doza inquires about the delay. Torra and Buggles then enter the room. When Doza asks his daughter if everything is alright, Torra says that everything is perfectly fine. While lying on the couch with Buggles resting on her stomach, Torra sarcastically says she likes hanging out in her room alone.
Captain Doza retorts that he is, at the very least, still allowing her to fly. He informs her that the situation outside is becoming increasingly perilous, significantly more so than before. Captain Doza clarifies that the threat extends beyond mere pirates. Torra acknowledges that she understands who he is referring to. She accuses her father of becoming overly protective since "they" began visiting. Torra reminds her dad that she is an Ace pilot who has fought pirates and marauders.
Captain Doza cautions her that the First Order poses a far greater danger than any pirate. Torra announces her intention to visit the marketplace. Her dad responds that anything she needs can be delivered to her. When Torra expresses her need for fresh air, Doza suggests that she use the balcony. He states that the restrictions will remain in place until the First Order departs and promises to take her on a hover cruise once business is concluded. Torra accuses her father of making too many unfulfilled promises and expresses her frustration with the tower and the Colossus station.
Although Captain Doza is unable to prevent his daughter and Buggles from leaving, he assigns 4D-M1N the task of monitoring her for the next few hours. He instructs 4D to keep Torra away from "them." 4D confirms that she will comply with her master's directives. After 4D departs, Captain Doza uses a holographic projector to contact Commander Pyre. Following an exchange of greetings, Commander Pyre instructs Doza to prepare the tower docking bay, stating that they will arrive within the hour.
Following Torra and her pet Buggles into Torra's bedroom, 4D informs Torra that she cannot permit her to leave for the next 3.5 hours. When Torra mentions that she is scheduled for patrol duty in an hour, 4D replies that Griff Halloran and Freya Fenris will cover her shift until the First Order departs. Torra then claims that Buggles needs to go outside and that they don't want him making a mess all over the place. 4D offers to take the creature out herself but will be locking the door for her own safety until she returns.
After 4D leaves, Torra unlocks her door using a passcode that she has deciphered. While sneaking through the corridor, she attracts Buggles' attention, who barks for her. 4D orders Torra to stop but is distracted when Buggles urinates on the floor, creating a purple puddle. Torra thanks Buggles, while 4D expresses her disgust.
In another location, Resistance spy Kazuda Xiono and BB-8 are navigating the Colossus marketplace. Kaz has received instructions from Poe Dameron to uncover any connections between Doza and the First Order. Kaz asks BB-8 if he has any ideas of getting into Doza Tower. BB-8 guides Kaz to the shipping and receiving entrance. BB-8 unlocks the door terminal, but Kaz accidentally bumps into Torra Doza. Torra is surprised to see Kaz, who claims that he was planning to deliver some ship parts to Hype Fazon. Torra suggests that he do that later and invites him to have some fun. She leads him away from the door. BB-8 is forced to follow.
At the Colossus marketplace, Torra peeks out from behind a crate and declares that the coast is clear. Kaz asks if she is in trouble, and Torra explains that her father wants her to remain in her room while he communicates with the First Order. As Torra examines some bowls in the marketplace, Kaz inquires about the First Order's intentions. Torra explains that the First Order is involved in addressing the recent pirate attacks and claims that they want to assist in clearing out the sector. She speculates that the pirates may have been raiding their ships as well.
Torra shows interest in an antique and asks the furry alien stall owner about its price. He quotes five credits and recognizes her as Captain Doza's daughter. He increases the price to 20 credits. Torra declines to purchase the antique, but the merchant argues that she can afford it. At that moment, Torra is spotted by the Nautolan Namua and the Theelin Jooks.
Torra attempts to be friendly with them. Jooks asks her about the pirate attacks, while Namua questions why Doza canceled another race. Bolza Grool then confronts her about rumors that Captain Doza will impose a curfew. Kaz intervenes to defend her and tells them to give her some space. Grool growls at Kaz, and he advises Torra and BB-8 to leave the market.
On the deck, Kaz suggests returning to Doza Tower before the First Order arrives. Torra agrees but points out that they are too late, indicating a descending Upsilon-class command shuttle. The shuttle flies over the Colossus towards the Tower's docking bay.
Kaz questions how the First Order will assist with the pirates. Torra explains that if her father signs the agreement, the First Order will patrol the platform. She complains that the only flying she will be able to do is playing Flight Simulator Squadron. Kaz is excited to learn that Torra owns Flight Simulator Squadron. She mentions that she has all three versions and invites him to play a game and have some food at the Ace lounge. Kaz tells BB-8 that this is their ticket inside.
At Doza Tower, Commander Pyre and two stormtroopers enter Captain Doza's office. Captain Doza welcomes Commander Pyre back to the Colossus. He asks Doza if he has considered his offer and warns that it won't be available for long. Captain Doza states that he has questions and asks how many stormtroopers will be stationed there. Pyre responds that there will be enough to prevent any pirate raid. He adds that his soldiers are better equipped for the task than Doza's Aces. When Captain Doza asks when the stormtroopers will leave after the pirate threat is eliminated, Pyre says it is difficult to provide a timeline due to the unpredictable nature of pirates.
In the meantime, Torra and Kaz sneak back into the Tower's corridors, avoiding a pair of security droids. Torra also pulls Kaz into a corridor, narrowly avoiding another pair of security droids. When Kaz asks why they are sneaking around, Torra explains that she snuck out and needs to sneak back in. They then enter a corridor to avoid a pair of security droids.
Torra leads Kaz into the Ace lounge, where the Ace pilots Hype Fazon, Bo Keevil, Freya Fenris, and Griff Halloran are socializing. The Aces notice Torra and her guests. Freya asks Torra about her father's recent secretive behavior. Torra says he is fine but has been too busy, even for her lately.
Griff says that Captain Doza should restart the races since it has been too long since they have seen some action. Torra sees Kaz devouring several fruits, including a meiloorun fruit. A disgusted Torra tells him to take as much as he wants. Hype recounts his victory in the Sublight Star Five Million race against Keevil. Hype asks for another round from the bartender Jace Rucklin.
Rucklin spots Kaz and demands to know why he is there. At that moment, Hype demands his bantha milk. When Kaz asks Rucklin what he is doing there, Rucklin angrily replies that he has to work a side job to get a new racer to replace the one that he destroyed. Rucklin vows to get even with Kaz. Hype reiterates his demand, and Rucklin rushes to serve Hype.
Torra suggests that they leave and remarks that this place is starting to reek. The three head down a corridor towards Torra's room only to find Doza conferring with Commander Pyre. Pyre tells Doza that this agreement will allow the First Order to secure both his platform and the skies. He promises to find these pirates and eliminate them. Captain Doza notices some movement as Torra, Kaz, and BB-8 sneak away.
Doza says he will need time to review. Commander Pyre warns him not to take too long because they expect his answer soon. Doza tells 4D to take the datapad to his office and says that he will see Commander Pyre out. Kaz tells BB-8 that they need that datapad and asks if he has a plan yet. BB-8 shakes his head.
As Doza leads Commander Pyre and his men out, Kaz attempts to enter Doza's office, but Torra stops him, explaining that it is her dad's office. Torra leads Kaz and BB-8 into her room, where they are greeted by Buggles. Buggles becomes interested in BB-8 and chases him around the room. Kaz is impressed that Torra has the latest simulators, but she complains that they are becoming boring.
Torra says that she thought being an Ace would be different but laments that things have changed. The only thing that cheers Torra up is her pet Buggles. Kaz sympathizes with Torra's loneliness, noting that there are not many people her age around. He says they are friends and jokes about defeating her at the flight simulator. Torra says she can't wait to see Kaz try and puts Buggles aside.
Torra lowers the curtains, and the two play a game on the flight simulator. As they compete, Kaz jokes that she can't beat him because he is the best pilot in the galaxy. As the two approach an exogorth in the game, the door monitor indicates a visitor, and Torra tells Kaz to hide.
4D enters the room and is relieved to find Torra is back. BB-8 rolls out, and 4D enters intruder mode. Torra and Buggles block 4D's path, with Torra asserting that BB-8 is not an intruder. Torra manages to deactivate 4D's intruder mode. 4D relents but tells Torra that her father warned he off possible droid spies and that you can never be too sure with a ball droid. Kaz takes the opportunity to sneak out off the room.
Kaz almost trips, but BB-8 manages to distract 4D by rolling on the floor. While 4D picks up Buggles, Torra whispers a thanks to BB-8 and bids him farewell. BB-8 and Kaz head to Captain Doza's office, avoiding a pair of security droids. BB-8 manages to open the door long enough for Kaz to enter Captain Doza's office. A passing Rucklin notices Kaz and BB-8.
At the landing platform, Rucklin catches up with Captain Doza as he is ushering Pyre and his stormtroopers aboard their shuttle. Rucklin tells Doza that he needs to talk to him about an important matter. An annoyed Doza says he is in the midst of showing his guests off. Commander Pyre asks if there is a problem but the Captain says that it is nothing he cannot handle and bids Pyre and his men farewell. Doza then attends to Rucklin.
Returning to Doza Tower, Rucklin informs Captain Doza that someone has broken into his office and that he saw them himself. Rucklin and Doza head to the office. Meanwhile, Kaz searches Doza's desk and drawers for the datapad containing the agreement with the First Order. He manages to find the datapad and begins downloading the data into a memory stick.
BB-8 is keeping watch and warns Kaz that Captain Doza and Rucklin are coming. BB-8 hides as Doza and Rucklin enter a turbolift. Kaz finishes downloading the information and puts the datapad back in the drawer. He then sees the lift panel glow and hides behind Doza's desk. Kaz accidentally presses a remote which opens the door to Doza's closet.
Kaz sees an Imperial officer's tunic inside the closet and hides inside just as the lift doors open. Captain Doza and Rucklin enter the office. When Captain Doza asks about the intruder, Rucklin says he saw Kazuda Xiono sneaking in here. When Doza asks where is he, Rucklin reiterates that he is hiding. Meanwhile, a frightened Kaz stares at Doza's Imperial officer's uniform. Rucklin tries to open Captain Doza's closet. However, Doza stops him and tells the boy to make himself useful by emptying his trash. An ominous Captain Doza watches as Rucklin enters the lift carrying the trash.
Doza is about to open the door to his closet when his daughter Torra enters and tells her father that the Aces want to speak to him. Doza wants to hold off the meeting but Torra tells him that the Aces want to know what is going on with this deal. She tells him that they have the right to know. Doza concedes and tells his daughter she is quite right and walks out with her. The two enter the lift. Torra smiles but is uncomfortable with her dad.
Kaz exits the closet. He panics when the lift doors open again but is relieved to find BB-8. Kaz shows BB-8 Doza's old Imperial uniform. Kaz tells BB-8 that Doza used to be in the Empire and is now working with the First Order. Kaz surmises that Doza was shady but thinks that this revelation is really bad.
Later, Kaz and BB-8 exit the lift. They avoid the security droids on patrol and hide behind a corner. However, Kaz is surprised by Torra, who offers to help him sneak out after he explains why he was in her dad's office. Kaz says he will tell her the truth at Aunt Z's Tavern. Torra tells her to follow him to a secret entrance where there are no guards.
As Torra keys in the passcode, Kaz asks if she has done it before. She says no but it should be safe. In the darkness, Kaz asks if this is the trash compactor, but Torra tells him that it is the trash incinerator. She tells him to relax and asks if it is the third day of the second cycle. Kaz points out that it is actually the third cycle. The three narrowly avoid laser bolts which rain down on the scrap metal and rubbish.
Kaz tells BB-8 to get that door open. BB-8 dodges laser bolts and heavy machinery. Torra manages to calm Kaz by telling him that it is like a hologame. While Kaz and Torra dodge lasers and machinery, BB-8 manages to reach the door control panel and opens the door. However, he also comes under "attack" from lasers.
Outside, Rucklin hurls some trash down the chute into the trash incinerator. The trash canister scatters above Kaz and Torra. BB-8 manages to hold the door open long enough for all three of them to escape the trash incinerator. Outside, Kaz breathes a sigh of relief and says it was too close. Torra adds that they almost died before jumping up and saying that was amazing.
She helps Kaz up and asks him why exactly he was in her father's office. Kaz claims that he wanted to see how the other half lives but Torra gives a disbelieving look. Torra tells him to be honest and asks if Kaz is a spy. Kaz denies being a spy. Torra replies that her father found out that he used to be a pilot for the New Republic. She adds that she keeps a close eye on her father's business. Torra asks what Kaz is doing here. Kaz says he is not a spy and claims that he quit the New Republic Navy to become a racer. BB-8 nods his head. Torra tells him that he better go. Kaz thanks her but Torra says that the thanks belongs to him.
After parting company, Torra heads back to her room, where she is greeted by Buggles. Torra pats Buggles. Just then, Captain Doza enters the room and hugs his daughter. He asks if she is ready for their hover cruise and says it will be nice to get her out of her room. Torra replies that will be nice for sure. Buggles barks in approval. Doza tells her gently to hurry along and Torra says she will be ready. Alone in her room with Buggles, she asks who Kaz really is.
