Recap of Dune: Prophecy episode 3
In Dune: Prophecy episode 3, fans see the early lives of Tula and Valya Harkonnen. They live on Lankiveil, where the Harkonnen family has been ruined for generations by House Atreides. The episode also shows their brother Griffin murdered by Vorian Atreides. Valya then goes off to Wallach IX to train with the Sisterhood, where she becomes close with Mother Raquella.
On Valya's orders, Tula goes to Caladan, the homeworld of House Atreides. There, she falls in love with Orry Atreides and he takes her on a family hunting trip. The same night, Orry asks Tula to marry him and she agrees. However, the next morning he wakes up to Tula revealing to him that she is a Harkonnen and that she has killed his entire family. She then kills him too and spares a young child from the family.
Valya, who then doesn't go through with the Agony, returns to Lankiveil with a vial of Water of Life. There, her family shuns her for making Tula do what she did, and she runs away from the house. She then decides to go through with the Agony and while having her visions, she is woken up by Tula. Having survived the Agony, she decides to go back to Wallach IX, but Tula also comes with her now.
Back in the present time, it is revealed that Valya is seeking the help of her uncle now for unknown reasons while Tula is trying to revive Lila by administering a dosage of spice to her.
What can fans expect from Dune: Prophecy episode 4?
In episode 4 of Dune: Prophecy, fans can expect many new developments, such as Princess Ynez joining Keiran Atreides. While both of them have their romance going on, it looks like Keiran might just let Ynez on his secret of the rebellion, and the preview does signify that she will help him. It certainly looks like Ynez wants the downfall of the family too.
On the other hand, fans can expect to see Desmond continue to push against the Sisterhood. With him trying to get close to the Imperium, a war of politics will emerge as he continues to bring the reckoning upon everyone. However, fans might get to know how he survived Shai Hulud as well.
