Sabotage (Star Wars: The Clone Wars)

Anakin Skywalker and Ahsoka Tano were sent to a battle on Cato Neimoidia by the Jedi Council to rescue the world from an invasion set by the Separatists. Anakin's starfighter is attacked by buzz droids, who severely damage the ship. Anakin is knocked out by a powerful shock from his damaged starfighter leaving R2-D2 in control of the ship. Ahsoka instructs R2-D2 to land the ship while she pulls Anakin out. Shortly after they are contacted by Yoda, summoning them back to the Jedi Temple to investigate a bombing. It is rumored that a Jedi may have caused the blast so Anakin and Ahsoka, having been off-world at the time, have been selected to lead the investigation. They are aided by the droid Russo-ISC in their investigation and together he and Tano went to interview the survivors of the blast. There they find a potential suspect, Jackar Bowmani.
Anakin finds Bowmani's wife, Letta Turmond who protests that her husband could have had anything to do with the explosion. While analysing the explosion, they discover the blast origin, a transport, and find that is is covered in explosive Nano-droids. They also manage to find Jackar's hand, the only part of him that survived the explosion. Nano-droids are also found in his bloodstream, leading them to believe that he "was the bomb".
Together, Anakin and Ahsoka go to his house to search for more nano droids, finding them in the food. Suspecting that someone fed the droids to Jackar, they are interupted by Letta. Suspecting that Letta might know more than she is telling them, they decide to bring her back to the Temple for more questioning.
However, Letta makes a run for it and the two Jedi follow, chasing her through the streets. Finally they corner her in an alley. Both of the Jedi now believe that she was responsible for the explosion and faced with Anakin's anger she admits to it. The Jedi bring her back to the temple. They still don't know her motives , but they intend to question her further.
Back at the Jedi Temple, Russo informs Ahsoka and Anakin that his invesitagtion confirms no Jedi were involved in the explosion. Mace Windu voices his opinion that the reason behind the bombing was meant to turn public sentiment against the Jedi and the Clone Wars. Ahsoka and Anakin discuss their own fears that a Jedi might have been the perpetrator; Anakin remarks that while there will be Jedi who disappoint, the greater number of Jedi fighting for the right thing will balance it out.
