Throughout the first season of Andor, Cassian (Diego Luna) was unknowingly pursued by ISB supervisor Dedra Meero (Denise Gough) and deputy inspector Syril Karn (Kyle Soller). The two were on his trail for separate (and in Karn’s case, personal) reasons, but when they met in the Narkina 5 arc, things got interesting.
What was a simple debrief and a warning for Karn to quit using ISB assets to find Cassian escalated into Karn finding where Meero worked, grabbing her arm, and telling her they’re not so different, he and her. That led to people shipping them, a fire that only grew when he saved her life during the chaotic finale.
Since then, folks have been wondering just what the hell is about to happen with this duo in season two. A clip recently provided to KTLA offers some interesting crumbs for what might be in store for them. In it, we see the two enter a nondescript building by themselves. Meero had him followed on the way here, and it’s somewhere out of the prying eyes of the Empire, who are watching Karn’s childhood apartment.
“How long can I stay?” Karn asks, to which Meero says, “an hour.” Music stirs as she tells him to turn the lights off, the second time being more forceful: “Turn out the lights.”

It wouldn’t be surprising if Andor had Karn and Meero hook up or engage in some kind of close relationship. The first season took its time sketching out its characters’ interior lives beyond their outlook on rebellion and bureaucracy. Yeah, the prison break and heists were fun, but it was engaging to see Vel and Cinta’s fractured lesbian romance or Mon Mothma’s deeply weird family dynamics. Whether this clip is where it happens is another matter entirely, but never say never. After all, this season is spread across four years.
We’ll find out when Andor season two begins next week on Disney+.
