A recap of Dune: Prophecy episode 1
Episode 1 of Dune: Prophecy follows Valya Harkonnen as she joins the Sisterhood after the Harkonnens are labeled cowards. Sharing the vision of her Mother Superior, Valya believes that a sister should end up on the throne to make sure that a reckoning never comes. When her Mother Superior dies, Valya becomes her successor and starts training a new generation of Sisters.
On Salusa Secundus, Emperor Corrino is set to marry his daughter Princess Ynez to the Richese family. He is being advised by Sister Truthsayer Kasha to go along with this as well, due to Valya believing that Ynez being on the throne will help prevent the reckoning, and the Princess is set to join the Sisterhood as well. However, everything turns on its head when Desmond Hart mysteriously reappears.
Desmond Hart used to be a soldier on Arrakis for the Corrino family and was assumed to be dead. But when he appears back in front of the Emperor, he tells him that he was attacked by his allies. The Emperor also confides in him that he wants to be freed from his daughter's marriage which Desmond takes quite seriously. He also shares a sinister look with the Truthsayer Kasha.
The episode ends with him killing the young prince that Princess Ynez was set to marry. He does this by having a "gift" that was bestowed upon him which burns the skin of the prince while elsewhere Kasha dies of the same cause too.
