From the beginning, it was always odd that the empire was trying so hard to hunt down omega. As season 2 ended, it became clear it had something to do with force sensitive cloning, and obviously the mention of m-count in recent episodes points to this. This episode served to certify this assumption, while also informing our heros about what is actually occurring with Omega, warning them of the danger, and giving them a choice which they may take later in the season.
So why Ventress? It makes complete sense. It's not just to bring back a new character, no it is because she is a bounty hunter, therefore be in contact with Fennec, while also being force sensitive, therefore actually knowing what is occurring both within the realm of past separatist leaders as well as within the force.
Why does Ventress say she is not sensitive? She knows it's in the best interest of the child, she cannot believe that cloning force sensitive beings would be possible and she has a very difficult grasping the true danger that this technology holds, not just for her but for the entire galaxy. It's clear omega is sensitive to some extent, we saw from the reaction of the 1st test that Omega was able to keep some concentration, but more importantly her bond with Batcher is very similar to the types of bonds Ezra has with other beings in Rebels.
Anyway, I've only seen two reviews and both were very negative, but this episode answered many questions, and set up the series for an epic finale. In Filoni I trust.
