The fifth episode of Dune: Prophecy, In Blood, Truth, premiered on Max on December 15, 2024, and was the penultimate episode of the show. While it featured many setups and reveals for the finale, it also gave fans a hint about who Desmond Hart is and where he comes from, and it looks like he may just be related to two of the biggest houses.
Dune: Prophecy episode 5 massively hints that Desmond Hart is the son of Tula Harkonnen. While the episode doesn't outright confirm this fact, this is showcased by Tula's reaction when she learns of the information. The preview for the upcoming finale also teases this and shows a young Tula holding a child and crying.
So, going into the finale, it certainly looks like fans will get to know the full secret behind Desmond Hart.

Exploring how Desmond Hart may be Tula Harkonnen's son
In Dune: Prophecy episode 3, it is revealed that on the orders of her sister Valya, Tula infiltrated House Atreides by hiding her house name on Caladan. There she fell in love with Orry Atreides and the two soon started a relationship. He even invited Tula out on a family hunting trip and on the same night proposed to her as well, and the two did get intimate with each other.
However, Tula later killed him and his entire family, as her mission was bound by revenge for the Atreides family killing her brother Griffin. Then, in Dune: Prophecy episode 5, Tula receives the DNA sample of Desmond Hart after Valya was able to grab a sample of his blood when he overwhelmed himself with his powers during the Landsraad.
When Tula ran the DNA sample through the genetic registry, it was revealed that Hart had the blood of House Harkonnen and House Atreides in him. This information especially leaves Tula quite shocked, as it is heavily implied that Desmond is the son of Orry Atreides and Tula Harkonnen.
Desmond also confirms in the episode that the reason he hates the Sisterhood so much is because his mother was a Sister herself and gave him away as a child. So, going into the finale of the show, fans can certainly expect some major reveals to take place as it looks like Tula's past is going to catch up with her in a major way.
