In there, both Jedi Knights face off the Sith Lord Count Dooku, where Kenobi is left unconscious and Skywalker wins. After Palpatine orders him to kill Dooku, he obeys. After meeting the second in command of the Droid army and the Chancellor's abductor, General Grievous, the ship is heavily damaged.

This sets the Council's suspicions, and they later appoint Anakin the dual task of monitor the Chancellor. This is seen as high treason.
