In this episode, we take a look at chapters fifteen through seventeen of Dune Messiah, in which the conspirators' plot begins to take shape, Paul hesitates but ultimately commits to a path forward, we witness Alia leading a ritual before her worshippers, and Paul gets a healthy dose of guilt when he meets with his old friend and Fedaykin Otheym. Let's just say Paul's empire could probably have used some kind of veterans' welfare department.
