We were talking on Dinbo server about Din's oath under the shining moon, when it hit me it's NOT YOUR AVERAGE MOON!
Ok hear me out. Bo was born on Mandalore, Din wasn't born on Concordia, but it's the place where he was baptized Mandalorian, "Din Djarin of Concordia" after all. So giving this oath to her on Mandalore in the light of the Concordian moon is a metaphor for his promise. He will always be with her like Concordia is around Mandalore, lighting up the darkest of nights, and guiding her through the unknown.
Hello, I'm Lux and I'm your local detail enjoyer. Enjoy the pain.

I think we don't talk about this scene enough, so let's dive in:
Earlier episode 5 establishes that Din and Bo had grown closer to each other, while staying at the Covert:
There's plenty of space so there's no need to sit so close to each other unless they've grown closer.
Now back to this scene where the Armorer asks Bo to remove her helmet.
She was hesitant, and we rarely see Bo being hesitant about anything.
Now ask yourself why? Why was she so hesitant here?
Why wouldn't she want to get rid of her helmet? Not so long ago, she called Din's tribe a cult because of keeping their helmets on.
So what changed?
She lost her home. Din offered shelter. Then she *accidentally* joined his cult.
It's not indicated anywhere how much time passes between episode 3 and 5, but I would say at least a few weeks, if not a couple of months.
So why wouldn't she be relieved to receive the chance of removing her helmet?
You could say, well because she would become an apostate in the other's eyes, and therefore would be thrown out of the Tribe.
But, the Armorer refutes that by explaining "Bo Katan is walking both worlds."
But she is not concerned with the others, at least not at first. Her whole attention is hanging on Din's reaction.
She's afraid of losing his respect, and his friendship they had forged during their time together in the Covert up until this point.
She seems to want to say something in her own defence, but can't, because there's nothing. Instead, she's pleading with her eyes. (Katee's acting here is phenomenal)
This moment is about whether or not Din will reject her for taking off the helmet, like her Nite Owls rejected her for not getting the Dark saber.
And we know, that he not only doesn't reject her, (like he did in the past at their first meeting), but he joins to help her seek out her fleet.
From this point on, Bo is looking for his approval, and support.
Continuously!
It's so intriguing to watch how much she comes to rely on Din.
Then the pledge scene:
She's completely taken off guard.
She didn't expect him to support her after revealing how she surrendered, which inevitably led to the Night of a Thousand Tears.
This time Din goes beyond the simple nod of support by pledging his undying loyalty.
This marks another turning point in their relationship.
*Don't even try to tell me this isn't romantic as hell!!!*
It's clear where their relationship is heading.
She even says it:

ALONE. Bo X Din.
What makes the pledge scene between Bo and Din so powerful is that everyone has abandoned Bo.. She sits on a throne with nobody but a droid servant at her side leaving her ALONE. Din enters the castle and says he is here to aid her on her journey. She replies there is no journey.
When she takes her helmet off to eat she looks around and has that familiar feeling of being completely and utterly ALONE..
We see when she begins to look for volunteers to aid her nobody does, she doubts herself and again fears being left ALONE… until Din stands and says he will go with her
Everyone followed her originally because she had the saber.. an object. Not HER. When she talks with Din on the boat. She doesn’t think she can keep everyone together..
She says the saber is the only thing keeping them following HER. Sadness and worry hit her as she again feels that old familiar feeling that she could be left all ALONE.
Until Din… Din pledges himself to HER. He states that what means more to him then anything is Honor, Loyalty and Character. “These are the reasons I serve you Lady Kryze..” The final look she gives as she watches Din walk away after making his pledge is her own realization that she is no longer ALONE.
Finally… Bo-Katan Kryze is not ALONE.
