Tossing around a few ideas here based upon where we have ended up.All speculation, but trying to follow what I think are the little hints they have been dropping in each episode.1) Osha and Mae represent the light and dark sides of the Force (non-controversial I think).  Mae's proclivity for power and vengeance has been highlighted throughout the story.  It was especially brought up in the flashback episode where she started off controlling (almost crushing?) the butterfly creature.  Plus her desire to control her twin throughout childhood, and her automatic default to aggression when she does not get her way.  This contrasts with Osha's more gentle and open nature throughout.2) Qimir may or may not be an actual Sith, but I think we can safely assume that he has been collecting Jedi and Sith material for ages.  I think his "cover" as a broker and collector of information and supplies actually is his real background. Perhaps early in his career or life he stumbled across forbidden Sith knowledge, leading him down the path where we are now.  He very well could be the one who rescued Mae from Brendok, since he does seem to travel a great deal searching for things.  Is he a failed Jedi?  Maybe?  Not sure on that point, we need more information.3) For what happened on Brendok.  I think it is clear that the Jedi were coming to collect Osha at the very least and perhaps Mae as well after the initial assessment.  I think the blood tests confirmed the unnatural origin of the twins, and that was viewed as a threat.  Did the Jedi murder the witches in cold blood?  I don't think that will actually be the case (but we shall see), but there may have been some sort of fight involved.I suspect that Koril was somehow involved in the Brendok fight.  We saw multiple times in the flashback that she was extremely protective of Osha and Mae, to the point of almost defying her superior in regards to how to deal with the Jedi presence. She was also the one ( as far as we can tell) who "possessed" Korbin.  Perhaps to force her way of seeing things on the rest of the witches (who basically all appeared to disagree with her in the scenes we saw) she possessed Korbin again and started an incident.  The rest of the Jedi became involved, lots of witches dead, etc.  I think she also possessed Mae at some point during the flashback scenes before the fire.  Really hard to tell with the lighting, but I think at one point right around when Mae seals the doors on Osha her eyes go pitch black just like when Korbin was possessed.All of this was brought back up by Osha remarking to Yord that her mother could enter people's minds and confuse them after he says the unknown assailant (Qimir as we know now) was able to.  That was to partially explain the battle, but I think a hint dropped for us to look back.4) Or even zanier theory, Koril is a Sith plant in the witches.  She carries the twins and births them after a witchy ritual (or cloning or the Star Wars equivalent of in-vitro) despite her superior being the "mother."  But she was in the witches to steer them to the dark side path to prepare for the Sith to return.  She therefore manipulated things to ensure she would be the vessel for this experiment.  Giving one of the twins a boost in the dark side energy (Mae) to help push things forwards.5) OK, and now for something really out there.  We have the twins switching positions in the narrative at the end of episode 5.  Do we eventually end up with some sort of bizarre fusion of the two of them?  Were the witches creating twins on purpose to eventually create some sort of balance in the force?  One light side, one dark side, proper life experience results in the two bridging the gap between traditions and then a witchy ritual combines the two into one being to achieve the balance?  This is why Ansaya was willing to consider letting Osha join the Jedi in the flashback, because she had full understanding of how the plan would work, while Koril was not fully in on it (or was, but disagreed)?In this case, the Jedi become involved because they do not see the full picture either, and this forces some sort of crisis that ends up with the flashback scenes of fire and death.We will see how it turns out.Cheers <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
