- Andor Season 2 Section 6 Includes a Very Cathartic Moment for Bix Caleen
- Adria Arjona has explained why it is so important for her Star Wars character
- Bix has struggled to move past the trauma she suffered in the show’s first season
Andor Actor Adria Arjona has opened up on the catartic “justice” that her character Bix Caleen enjoys in this season’s sixth episode.
Front Andor Season 2’s launch I sat down with Arjona to discuss BIX’s journey in Star Wars TV Show’s last installment.
As part of our chat, I couldn’t give the opportunity to get Arjona’s thoughts on the emotional release Bix feels after events that occur in season 2 section 6, entitled ‘What A Festive Evening’, too.
Full spoilers immediately follow for Andor Season 2 section 6 and its predecessor’s last couple of episodes.
It is an understatement to say that Bix has been carried out the emotional twist in one of the best Disney+ shows.
Her problems may have begun in Andor Season 1’s early items that saw Bix contact NASCENT REBEL Alliance -Founder Luthen Rael to create a meeting between him and Cassian Andor. However, the risk she took was nothing compared to the traumatizing events she would be exposed to later that season.
In fact, when the galactic empire invaded Ferrix to trace Cassian, Bix was caught in the saying cross -fire. As one of Cassian’s closest allies (she was his ex-boyfriend, after all), Bix was taken prisoner and psychologically tortured by the creepy doctor Gorst to force her to tell the empire where Cassian is.
Long story short, Cassian saves Bix in Disney+ Series’ Season 1 final, and with Brasso and Wilmon’s help, Bix gets a relatively safe harbor that we learn in this season’s first episode, an agricultural plane in the outer edge is called Mina-Rau.
While slacking physically, Bix is still mentally and emotionally trapped by the horrible events she experienced.
The first three episodes of one of the 2025’s new Star Wars shows, whose events take place 12 months after last season’s final, are not only full of more trauma-corded moments, including almost sexually assaulted by an imperial officer in section 3, but also reveals that she is plagued by nightmares by Doctor Gorst.
In chapters four to six, which occurs one year after season 2’s first act, Box has become dependent on the illegal substance in the universe called Death Stick, which she takes to help her sleep.
It is this two-year cycle of endless mental and emotional qualifier that makes the last sequence depicted in ‘What a festive evening’ the more catartic for Bix. In fact, when Cassian is encouraged to perform a new, mysterious mission for Luthen, Bix wants to tag with.
It’s a good job she does. Before section 6 ends, we learn that Cassian and Bix have been sent to dispose of Doctor Gorst, whose secret laboratory is on Coruscant – the same planet the couple has been hiding for months.
Knowing how important this mission is to her, Cassian Bix lets the lead. Long story short, she uses the same psychological torture equipment on the evil scientist before Cassian destroys Gorst’s headquarters to make it look like it was jumping in an experiment that has gone wrong.
I will not spoil what is in store for BIX this season next six episodes – as I noticed in my Andor Season 2 Review, I’ve seen all 12 chapters. Nevertheless, section 6 is a waters moment for Bix in her efforts to cleanse herself of the pain and misery that was inflicted on her – and Arjona was fully agreed with this feeling.
“[Showrunner] Tony [Gilroy] Have a really beautiful way to include confidence in you without actually giving you a compliment! “Arjona joked to begin with.” But really, I would do justice to how he wrote Bix’s bow this season and knows what happened to her at the end of the season one.
“After last season finale, I had so many questions for Tony because I was really curious to see how to do it. How would she handle it? Would she push it under the rug or try to see it on head-on?

“I identify a lot with Bix as a character, someone who has to act hard and be strong and be part of something big,” Arjona continued. “But thanks to what happened in season one, she is physically and mentally unable to play a role in the rebellion that frustrates her.
“The big moment [in episode six] Allows her to redeem herself, and as you very soon she will find herself for the rest of the season again. She has come back in her own and you finally see the sparkle in her eye that she had in season one, again. It’s like ‘you’ve gone through so much, but now you’re back to who you were’. It was really special to see her overcome it and take ownership of her future once again. “
Andor season 2 -episodes 1 to 6 is out now. Another three episodes arrive on May 6/7, when the last trio was released on May 13, May 14.
