This week’s episode of The Mandalorian, “The Heiress,” packed a lot of stuff in its swift 32-minute runtime.

And then in the mid-credits scene, we see Sivana scribbling symbols in his cell only to enter into a discussion with that caterpillar, who informs him and us that he is even more powerful than the sins and the wizards that were previously in conflict.
