While no official promo teaser has been released for the upcoming episode of the show, various sources online have revealed that the episode will be centered around Gaal, Salvor, and Hari's journey to planet Ignis and the shocking discoveries they make there.

The episode's title, The Sighted and the Seen, subtly hints at the superpower that the people of Ignis hold, that is, they are able to see the future. They believe that everyone in the universe has already been 'sighted' and therefore their destinies are predetermined. It'll be interesting to see how the trio reacts to this information and whether it might throw a wrench into Hari Seldon's plans for the future.

The official synopsis of the episode, as per Rotten Tomatoes, reads:

"Gaal, Salvor and Hari arrive on Ignis and meet the source of the strange signal they've been tracking; Dawn and Dusk are suspicious of Day."

Another storyline that viewers could look out for is Brother Day's suspicious behavior. Day has not yet revealed his true intentions of remaining in Dawn and Dusk's company and they are getting paranoid that Day is up to no good and intends on destroying communities.
