Why G68 Mandalorian betrayed Dr Pershing? In the most recent episode of The Mandalorian, played by Omid Abtahi, Dr. Pershing's relationship with fellow ex-Imperial Elia Kane (aka G68), who began new lives on Coruscant with him, appeared to be flourishing as they both started new lives on the planet. Still, it quickly disintegrated after she betrayed him.
In the third chapter of Season 3 of The Mandalorian, Din Djarin's story is mostly neglected. Instead, the focus is on Dr. Penn Pershing, a former Imperial scientist turned ally of the New Republic, and his time spent on Coruscant.

After Mando successfully bathed in the Living Waters of Mandalore and redeemed himself in the previous episode, the primary focus of the third episode of the Disney+ series is on Dr. Penn Pershing, the Imperial scientist who took a great deal of interest in Grogu in seasons 1 and 2, and his new life on Coruscant, the government hub world within the Star Wars galaxy.
Now that he has been granted amnesty as part of the New Republic's amnesty program for former Imperial officials who want to make a clean break, Pershing finds himself doing mundane administrative work for the regime, even though he pines to resume his research into cloning and the potential benefits it could have for citizens of the New Republic. This is because the New Republic's amnesty program is designed for former Imperial officials who want to make a clean break from their past.
As a result of the new administration's decision to prohibit cloning research, Pershing has contacted Elia Kane, who serves as a communications officer aboard Moff Gideon's cruiser and is also a former Imperial who participated in the Amnesty program. She aided Dr. Pershing in his search for a mobile lab on a decommissioned Star Destroyer. Still, just as he was about to acquire the technology he needed to continue his research, a contingent of local police officials apprehended him and thanked Elia for the information.

Dr. Pershing could not acquire the technology he required to continue his investigation. The already sinister nature of Elia's betrayal was made even more so because she had Dr. Pershing bound to a Mind Flayer device, which, to avoid confusion, should not be confused with the creature from Stranger Things. At the time that Dr. Pershing was supposed to be getting a low-voltage, calming therapy, Elia secretly upped the device's power, causing him tremendous pain and giving the appearance that he was confused.
Since she is still loyal to the Empire and Moff Gideon, Elia misleads Dr. Pershing in The Mandalorian because she does not want the scientist to be able to expose the specifics of his clandestine cloning research. In the fourth episode of the second season of The Mandalorian, titled "The Siege," it was revealed that Mando and the group had discovered Pershing's cloning facility on Nevarro.
This laboratory may have created an earlier version of Supreme Leader Snoke. This indicates that the remains of the Imperial government want to keep him quiet and cover up his work since they know it would ultimately lead to the cloning of Emperor Palpatine and his reappearance in The Rise of Skywalker.
