In this episode, we take a look at chapters fifty-three through fifty-five of Children of Dune, in which Alia tries to make sense of the chaos on Arrakis while dealing with the Baron's manipulations, The Preacher finally meets his son as they debate the horrors of Leto's plans for the future of humanity, Assan Tariq learns the dangers of going up against a prescient, and Duncan makes a desperate play to force Stilgar to break his oaths of neutrality and take a side…but not before finally dealing with Javid and the rumors about his relationship with Alia.
