Where is the continuity?

Warning: Spoilers
To start out, this episode isn't so bad for a Jar-Jar centered one. It made sense for Palpatine to send Jar-Jar and he was tolerable. Also, the interaction between Obi-Wan, Anakin and Dooku was great, as was Hondo.

However, there are some plot holes. First of all, it's odd that the episode starts with Anakin and Obi-Wan being drugged, while at the end of the previous episode, they switched their drinks and actually the pirates got drugged. Secondly, it didn't make sense for Obi-Wan and Anakin to attempt to escape. Why didn't they just wait around for the Republic to arrive? They couldn't have known about Jar-Jar being sent and the pirates being betrayed, so they could assume the Republic would come with the ransom for Dooku. All they had to do was stay there. Dooku would be captured by the Republic and the war would be as good as over. They themselves could be freed later.

By attempting to escape, they risked losing Dooku, which is what happened eventually.
