What Did Bix Do to Dr. Gorst in Andor Season 2 & Why?

Curious about what happened to Dr. Gorst in Andor Season 2 Episode 6? As Cassian Andor and Bix Caleen dive deeper into the heart of the Empire, their shared past leads to a shocking moment of reckoning. Haunted by the torture she endured, Bix’s path toward justice takes a dark and personal turn—culminating in a long-awaited confrontation with the man who broke her.

Here’s a full breakdown of what happened to Dr. Gorst and why his end matters in the fight against the Empire.

Did Bix and Andor kill Dr. Gorst in Andor Season 2 and why?

Yes, Cassian Andor and Bix Caleen killed Dr. Gorst in Andor Season 2 Episode 6, titled “What a Festive Evening.”

They track him down on Coruscant and kill him in his own office. Bix subjects Gorst to the same sound-based torture he used on her in Season 1.

Dr. Gorst is an Imperial interrogator introduced in Andor Season 1. He tortured Bix using a device that played the death screams of a slaughtered alien species, the Dizonites. This method caused long-term psychological trauma, leading Bix to suffer from hallucinations and nightmares throughout Season 2.

In the second arc of Season 2 (Episodes 4–6), Bix and Cassian return to Coruscant after a mission on Ghorman. With Bix still haunted by Gorst’s torture, they decide to take action. They locate Gorst and reverse his methods by using the same sonic device on him until he dies.

This scene marks a turning point in Bix’s recovery arc. She actively participates in ending the life of the man who caused her trauma. Cassian supports her decision, reinforcing the partnership they’ve rebuilt over the past year.

Gorst’s death also reflects the rebellion’s shift toward more personal acts of retaliation against the Empire. With the Empire developing Gorst’s torture techniques into a compliance system, Bix and Andor’s actions eliminate a key enabler of that program.

Andor Season 2 is currently streaming on Disney Plus.
