I can’t believe this is the penultimate episode. We need to bring back 22-episode shows or at least 12 episodes. This 6 episode format is not working at all.

Desmond has a new uniform now.

It matches those of soldiers of the Imperium.

Oh, scratch that – they are a new elite regiment.

kind of like the Secret Service and Desmond is their Bashar.

Well, to lead all the soldiers.

Ynez is annoying.

She is just a vessel for the Bene Gesserit to use to ruin her father.

So Francesca shows up

and the Emperor’s face was like this:

while the Empress’s face was like this:

Are you picking up what they are putting down because I am?

Let me guess: Francesca is the reason why the Empress hates the Bene Gesserit. The Emperor cheated on her with Francesca and she never forgave them after that.

I have another theory; This “Francesca” is actually Theodosia sent to use her cooch to get Javicco back in line.

The Prince is Francesca’s son.

Tula is using Sister Jen to help her with Lila.

As I suspected last week, it is probably Dorotea back in Lila’s form.

Hmm… why is she here to see this boy? What game is Murderer Superior playing?

and the Harkonen nephew is also here to apologise to Desmond.

Valya is really working overtime to get back into the Emperor’s good graces.

Now I am confused about which of these characters is Theodosia. Is it the Harkonen nephew or is it Francesca?

My feelings are leaning towards both that Theodosia is shapeshifting from place to place.

Nah, scratch that. THIS is Theodosia.

For the little I have watched of Harrow Harkonnen, he is not reckless with his words neither is he cunning. This person running his mouth to Desmond is CLEARLY not Harrow.

Yep, Francesca was real.

It is Mother Raquella, not Dorotea.

I was wrong. Neither of them were Theodosia. Harrow is just playing whatever mind games Valya is telling him to play.

Valya is such an evil witch.

Or what? You will command her to kill herself? Witch!

Keiran the idiotic Atreides. He left his stuff lying carelessly and the Prince has found it.

This boy will use Keiran to gain his father’s favour.

And so he did.

Keiran has been arrested.

Now, Constantine has been given a job to do which the Empress is not happy about.

Desmond is the son of a Sister. His father is an Atreides and his mother is a Harkonen.

Oh my God his is Orry Atreides’ son.

He is going to flip when he finds out that his mother murdered his father and his entire family before he was born.

Also, the Empress is choosing to get back her power somehow so she is sleeping with the help.

The same way the Emperor did and is still doing brazenly.

Valya is in a tight corner. The tightest of corners. Desmond is her freaking nephew.

The Empress said this to Desmond.

Too bad they failed and it had to take the second coming of Atreides-Harkonen (Paul) to finally put the Bene Gesserit in their place.

Final Thoughts

So my initial thoughts of the Tiran Arafel being the Kwisatz Haderach in Dune Prophecy wasn’t wrong Paul Atreides was basically the second coming of Desmond Hart.

Born to a mother from House Harkonen and a father from House Atreides. A man so powerful that even the Bene Gesserit could not control him.

No wonder the Fremen had such superstitious beliefs. They had probably encountered Desmond in the past so when Paul started exhibiting behaviours they recognized, they saw him as their saviour.

I do wonder if Keiran’s father is Atreides boy Tula refused to kill.
