We all know Dooku is a jerk.  Now Anakin and Obi-Wan have to team up with him.  What happens is they are negotiating Dooku's ransom when they are taken prisoners as well.  They end up in the same holding area as Dooku.  The only way to escape is to work together.  A clone contingent is sent out but due to certain circumstances, they find themselves with the unlikeliest of leaders, Jar Jar Binks.  Love him or hate him, he's back again.

Writer Julie Siege ("Supernatural") had this to say:
“The lure of writing for STAR WARS: THE CLONE WARS is right there on the screen: It is a fantastic story, and this was a great episode. The heroes and the villain are forced to pool their brain power and fire power in order to escape.

Especially at this stage of the saga, it was fun to show the relationship between Obi-Wan and Anakin – particularly knowing where Anakin is ultimately going. But at this point in the story, he is clearly a hero. I love that dichotomy.”
