In this episode, we take a look at chapters forty through forty-two of Dune, in which Chani wishes Paul luck for an important ceremony, Alia's having trouble fitting in, the Atreides ladies work to stave off an imminent rebellion, and Paul must make an important choice. After he masters riding a sandworm, that is.
