Outcome
Delivered to Ran, then to a New Republic patrol

Qin is a Twi'lek prisoner played by Ismael Cruz Córdova in The Mandalorian, the brother of Xi'an and the object of Ranzar Malk's prison-ship heist. The crew reaches him, frees him, and then locks Din Djarin in the cell in his place.

The reversal is worth noting because of how the episode closes it: Din delivers Qin to Ran as agreed, collects the bounty, and leaves a New Republic tracking beacon in the credits — which is how a mercenary settles a score without breaking a contract. It is the most precise piece of guild ethics the series has staged.
