- Andor Season 2 Episode 6 includes a very cathartic moment for Bix Caiten
- Adria Arjona explained why it is so important for her character Star Wars
- Bix had trouble going beyond the trauma she suffered in the first season of the show
Andor The actor Adria Arjona opened on the cathartic “justice” that his character Bix Caleen enjoys in the sixth episode of this season.
Before Andor Launch of season 2, I sat with Arjona to discuss Bix’s trip in the last episode of the Star Wars television show.
As part of our cat, I could not let the occasion pass to obtain the reflections of Arjona on the emotional exit that Bix feels of the following events which were transpired in episode 6 of season 2, entitled “What a festive Evening”.
Complete spoilers immediately follow for Andor Season 2 episode 6 and the last episodes of his predecessor.
It is an understatement to say that Bix was put through emotional boom in one of the best Disney +shows.
His problems may have started Andor The first entries of season 1, who saw Bix, contact the nascent founder of the Rebel Luthen Rael Alliance to organize a meeting between him and Cassian Andor. However, the risk she took was not compared to the traumatized events to which she would be submitted later this season.
Indeed, when the Galactic Empire invaded Ferrix to find Cassian, Bix was captured in the proverbial fire. As one of the closest allies of Cassian (she was her ex-girlfriend, after all), Bix was taken prisoner and psychologically tortured by the insensitive doctor to force her to say it to the Empire where Cassian is located.
In short, Cassian saves Bix in the final of season 1 of the Disney series and, with the help of Brasso and Wilmon, obtains Bix to a relative refuge which, as we learn in the first episode of this season, is an agricultural planet in the outside edge called Mina-Rau.
However, when she escaped physically, Bix is always mentally and emotionally trapped by the horrible events that she lived.
The first three episodes of one of the new Star Wars programs in 2025, whose events take place 12 months after the final last season, are not only full of more traumatized moments, in particular by being almost sexually assaulted by an imperial officer in episode 3, but also reveal that she is prey to nightmares from Doctor Gorst.
In the four to six chapters, which occur a year after the first act of season 2, Box has become addicted to the substance in the illegal universe called Death Stick, which she takes to help her sleep.
It is this cycle of two years of endless mental and emotional anxiety that makes the final sequence represented in “What a festive Evening” all the more cathartic for Bix. Indeed, when Cassian is called upon to carry out a new mysterious mission for Luthen, Bix wants to accompany.
It is a good job that she does. Before the end of episode 6, we learn that Cassian and Bix were sent to have Doctor Gorst, whose secret laboratory is located on Coruscant – the same planet as the pair has been hiding for months.
Knowing how important this mission is for her, Cassian allows Bix to take the lead. In short, she uses the same psychological torture equipment on the evil scientist before Cassian destroys Gorst’s seat to give the impression that he exploded in an experience that went wrong.
I will not spoil what is in store for Bix in the next six episodes of this season – as I noted in my Andor Review of season 2, I saw the 12 chapters. Nevertheless, episode 6 is a moment of the watershed for Bix in his efforts to purge himself of the pain and the misery which was imposed on him – and Arjona was entirely agree with this feeling.
“”[Showrunner] Tony [Gilroy] Has a very nice way to breathe into yourself without making a compliment! “joked Arjona to start.” But, really, I wanted to do justice to the way he wrote Bix’s Arc this season and by what happened to him at the end of the first season.
“After last season’s final, I had so many questions for Tony because I was really curious to see how she was going to face it. How would she manage it?

“I identify myself very much with Bix as a character, who is someone who must act hard and be strong, and be part of something big,” continued Arjona. “But, thanks to what happened in the first season, she is physically and mentally unable to play a role in rebellion, which frustrates it.
“This great moment [in episode six] Allows her to redeem himself and, as you will see very soon, she reinstates herself throughout the rest of the season. She returned to hers and you finally see the brilliance in her eyes, which she had in the first season, again. It’s like “you went so much, but now you’re back to whom you were”. It was really special to see her overcome this and once again appropriate her future. “”
Episodes 1 to 6 of season 2 of the ORO are now. Three other episodes will arrive on May 6, the final trio released on May 13 and 14.
