This is my favorite episode, and I'm sure it will come up more than once on this blog. Today, I want to talk about what Ba'al knew.
I think it's clear that, as of this episode, Ba'al had no clue who Jack was. None of the questioning that we saw on screen was about Jack and what Jack was doing. Jack, to Ba'al, was merely "the host."
Ba'al's only concern was Kanan. All the questions he asked concerned what Kanan wanted, what Kanan was doing. Given Ba'al's reactions to Jack later in the series, if he'd known who Jack was, there would've been as much focus on the host as on the Tok'ra.
Don't you think?
