In 21 BBY,Star Wars: Galactic Atlas dates the events of the Star Wars: The Clone Wars episode "Landing at Point Rain" to 21 BBY, and dates the death of Ponds, as seen in the episode "Lethal Trackdown," to the same year. Since places "Grievous Intrigue" between "Landing at Point Rain" and "Lethal Trackdown," its events, which include Ertay's attendance of the meeting, must take place in the same year. Finn Ertay was present at the Jedi Temple's communication center, where she watched a message from Separatist General Grievous alongside other Jedi. Ertay stood to the left of the Mon Calamari Jedi Eekar Oki, and watched as Grievous tortured Jedi Master Eeth Koth. She, Oki, and several others left the room soon after after Grand Master Yoda dismissed the Jedi younglings.
In 20 BBY,Star Wars: Galactic Atlas places the events of Ghosts of Mortis and "Water War" to 20 BBY. As the episode "Wookiee Hunt," which includes Ertay's appearance at the Jedi Temple, takes place between those two episodes according to , the episode's events must also take place in 20 BBY. Ertay was present at a landing pad at the Temple's exterior standing next to Oki and several Wookiees. There, she welcomed back Jedi trainees Jinx, O-Mer, and Ahsoka Tano, who had been rescued from Wasskah by the Wookiee General Tarfful and returned to the temple aboard the Halo, the bounty hunter Sugi's starship.
