"Ever Been to Ghorman?" is the fourth episode of the second season of the American science fiction political spy thriller drama television series Andor. It is the sixteenth episode of the series overall; it was written by Beau Willimon and directed by Ariel Kleiman.
Set in BBY 3, a year after the previous episode, the episode marks the return of Forest Whitaker as anarchist rebel leader Saw Gerrera, who previously appeared in the season 1 episode "Daughter of Ferrix", and is one of two episodes in the season with original music composed by Nicholas Britell, who stepped away from Andor following its first season due to scheduling conflicts. "Ever Been to Ghorman?" also introduces the planet Ghorman, which was referred to many times since the first season of the series, but hitherto never seen. Ghorman goes onto serve a central role in subsequent episodes of the season.
The episode primarily features three storylines: Cassian and Bix's attempt to adjust to a Coruscant safehouse operated by Luthen; Syril's dealings with the local Ghorman rebellion as a spy for Dedra, and Wilmon's mission with Saw Gerrera's Partisans on behalf of Luthen. Other storylines include Mon Mothma's attempts to rally votes in order to kill the Public Order Resentencing Directive, and Lonni Jung gathering intelligence on the ISB's secret operations on Ghorman.
"Ever Been to Ghorman?" was released on Disney+ on April 29, 2025 as part of a three-episode block also including "I Have Friends Everywhere" and "What a Festive Evening", and received positive reviews from critics.
