Plot summary

The library mishap

At the Tenoo Jedi Temple's library, Jedi youngling Kai Brightstar is mesmerized by a hologram of a Jedi practicing with his lightsaber. While trying to copy his move, Brightstar trips on a cart of holobooks. The cart hits a ladder platform, which knocks into a bookcase. The bookcase falls with only the ladder platform holding it up. A Rodian youngling snaps a photo with his holocamera. Shortly later, Lys Solay, Nubs, the caretaker droid Dee and Jedi Master Zia Zaldor Zanna enter the library and discover the mess.

Master Zia asks if Brightstar was practicing lightsaber moves inside the library. Brightstar admits his mistake and Zanna reminds him that the Jedi need to be responsible for their mess. Brightstar agrees to put back the books but Solay grumbles about missing the sky skimming races. Nubs offers to help but Brightstar declines their offer, saying that he will handle the mess and allowing them to have fun. Zanna commends Brightstar for taking responsibility and tasks Dee with helping the youngling. Dee is tasked with making chilled Calitog root soup for Master Zia. Zanna leaves with the other students.

Rescue and refuge

Elsewhere, Ace Kallisto sneaks into Bulcha the Hutt's camp and rescues her droid JNX-09 (Jinx) from a crate. Before they can escape, Bulcha and his security droid and astromech droid block their path and demand to know what Kallisto is doing. When Kallisto responds that Jinx does not belong to him, Bulcha says that the droid is his master codebreaker, who helps him to steal anything from the galaxy. Kallisto kicks a stack of crates, taking advantage of the chaos to flee into space.

While escaping a desert world, Ace's ship's pulse regulator is damaged by Bulcha's ship's laser cannons. Though Ace's ship is able to jump into hyperspace, the ship's pulse regulator is damaged. Kallisto tells Jinx that she knows where to get one. Meanwhile on Tenoo, Brightstar finishes tidying up the bookcase. Dee informs him that somebody is visiting the Jedi Temple seeking his help. At the door, Brightstar and Dee are greeted by Kallisto and her droid Jinx. Kallisto explains that her ship is damaged and asks if Master Zia is at home.

Brightstar explains that Zia and the rest of the Jedi have gone out for the day. Just then, Bulcha's ship arrives above the Tenoo Jedi Temple. Kallisto tells them that they need to flee inside and to look the doors. From the battlements, Brightstar and the others watch as Bulcha and several security droids and spider droids disembark from his starship. Kallisto explains that Bulcha stole Jinx and that she stole Jinx back, incurring the Hutt's wrath. Brightstar attempts to contact Master Zia via holoprojector but Bulcha has begun jamming the Temple's signals.

The siege

From the ground, Bulcha demands the return of Jinx. Brightstar tells the Hutt crime lord to leave but Bulcha threatens to storm the Jedi Temple with his army. Kallisto backs Brightstar up. In response, Bulcha orders his security droids to scale the walls of the Tenoo Jedi Temple. The droids chip away at the masonry as they climb up the structure, startling Brightstar who grumbles that Master Zia will not be pleased. Dee hurls two flower pots at the besieging droids but this does not derail their climb.

Two security droids scale the battlements. Kai Brightstar fights one with his second lightsaber while the droid deploys a two-pronged vibroblade. Kallisto steals a vibroblade and tangles with a droid. Dee tries to knock out the droid attacking Brightstar with a flower pot, distracting it long enough for Brightstar to disable it from behind. Kallisto loses her stolen vibroblade but Jinx disables the second security droid by opening its hatch.

Bulcha and his other droids force their way through the front gate, damaging the two swinging doors. He demands that Brightstar and Kallisto surrender Jinx. When Brightstar draws his lightsaber, Bulcha sends his two spider droids to attack him. The spider droids fire their blasters, damaging the ceiling and structure. The trio retreat inside the cafeteria, with Bulcha and his droids in hot pursuit. Bulcha hurls aside tables and chairs.

Working together with Kallisto, Brightstar creates a distraction by levitating and tossing a pail. While the Hutt and droids are distracted, they flee into a bedroom. Brightstar is despondent that he is not able to protect the Jedi temple. Dee reassures him that taking care of everyone inside is more important than looking after a place. Brightstar is encouraged by Dee's words. When Jinx accidentally dislodges a game box, Brightstar comes up with plan to expel the unwelcome intruders. He tells Dee that it will involve his soup.

Expelling the home invaders

Putting his plan into action, Brightstar leads Bulcha and his gang on a chase through the Temple corridors into the Temple library. Inside the library, Brightstar delivers an ultimatum. When Bulcha ignores it and orders his droids to charge, Dee releases several pots and cauldrons of green Calitog root soup on the droid. Dee uses a vine to swing down but is captured by a security droid. Bulcha, who is unharmed, demands that they hand over Jinx. Jinx appears and together with Kallisto lures Bulcha between two book cases. Brightstar releases a platform ladder holding a bookcase up, triggering a domino effect throughout the library. Bulcha is pinned between two book cases and buried under books.

Brightstar powers down a security droid. Shortly later, an armed Master Zia arrives with Padawan Wes Vinik, Solay and Nubs, who are also armed with lightsabers. She resolves to remove bulcha. Later, Dee escorts bulcha and his deactivated security and spider droids aboard bulcha's ship. Dee warns bulcha not to steal from other people. bulcha vows revenge and warns Brightstar they will meet again as his droids retract the ramp, much to his dismay. bulcha's ship flies away.

Brightstar apologizes to Master Zia that the Temple was damaged under his watch. Kallisto comforts him with a pat on the back. Master Zia reassures him that there is nothing to apologize. While a home is important, she adds that the people inside are more important. As they head for dinner inside, Brightstar begins to tell her about the root soup. The episode ends with a shot of a Tenoo tree on top of the Tenoo Jedi Temple.
