One thing just hit me: the last episode really tried to drive home the point that Mando is totally lost without his armor. First the fight where he gets hurt by thugs with sticks, then his confidence totally gone when the officer confronts him. That looks like it will play a role in the finale. Now, what could force him to take it off? The Duchess. And it's not unconcievable that Gideon would have it on his ship, considering that he has history with Mandalore...
Between this and a source of PTSD in combat droids, things are looking pretty grim for Mando...
for me this was all just foreshadowing, that he will go with "the jedi" that respond to Grogu and get some training.
they also gave a similar feel when he was with the other mandarins, he looked out of his element and sloppy when they were taking the ship. but again, he was out of his element.
I would put this more as he needs some character development, and we will see things change as they go on.
