Padm̌ is adjusting to being a wartime senator during the Clone Wars. Her secret husband, Anakin Skywalker, is off fighting the war, and excels at being a wartime Jedi. In contrast, when Padm̌ gets the opportunity to see the casualties on the war-torn front lines, she is horrified. The stakes have never been higher for the galaxy, or for the newly-married couple. Meanwhile, with Padm̌ on a secret mission, her handmaiden Sab̌ steps into the role of Senator Amidala, something no handmaiden has done for an extended period of time. While in the Senate, Sab̌ is equally horrified by the machinations that happen there. She comes face to face with a gut-wrenching decision as she realizes that she cannot fight a war this way, not even for Padm̌. And Chancellor Palpatine hovers over it all, manipulating the players to his own ends.
