Dune: Prophecy continues to captivate fans with its gripping narrative, and Episode 3, titled Sisterhood Above All, is expected to be a major turning point in the six-episode series.
Premiering on Max on December 1, 2024, the episode builds on the dramatic events of Episode 2, setting up conflicts and revelations that will shape the series’ trajectory. Here’s what fans can expect in the highly anticipated mid-season episode.
Episode 2 concluded with the mysterious death of young Pruwet Richese on Salusa Secundus, leaving the Imperium and the Sisterhood in turmoil. The circumstances surrounding Pruwet’s death remain unclear, but the Sisterhood’s involvement hints at deeper political and personal stakes.
Fans will also see the fallout from Desmond Hart’s role as Emperor Corrino’s weapon. Desmond, who was revealed to have killed Pruwet and Mother Kasha earlier in the series, continues to serve the Emperor’s agenda, carrying out tasks that align with the Imperium’s interests. This dynamic sets up a tense confrontation between Desmond and Valya Harkonnen, further escalating the show’s central conflict.
Desmond Hart remains at the heart of Dune: Prophecy. The series has revealed intriguing details about his powers, including how he gained them after being swallowed by Shai-Hulud, the great sandworm on Arrakis. During an intense interrogation with Valya Harkonnen, Desmond shared that the experience cost him one of his eyes but gave him “something much greater” in return.
Desmond also issued a cryptic warning to Valya, hinting at an impending reckoning. A prophecy tied to this reckoning mentions someone “born twice-once in blood and once in sand.” Given Desmond’s backstory, fans can expect to see him play a significant role in the events leading up to this reckoning.
The relationship between sisters Tula and Valya Harkonnen continues to deteriorate. Valya’s extreme measures to advance the Sisterhood’s goals have caused significant strain, especially following Lila’s death. Lila, who was raised by Tula, died during the Agony, a harsh Bene Gesserit trial that Valya insisted she undergo.
Tula’s grief is likely to lead to further tension with Valya, showing their contrasting approaches. While Valya prioritizes the Sisterhood’s larger mission, Tula’s empathy for those around her creates a moral conflict. This emotional storyline is expected to take center stage in Episode 3, deepening the series’ exploration of loyalty and sacrifice.
