Foundation S3E5 Recap: The Mule’s Trap Is Sprung, Empires Shatter & Gaal Faces a Familiar Foe!

In Episode 5 of Foundation Season 3, the galaxy teeters on the brink as Gaal and Brother Dawn execute a bold political maneuver to pass the Enclosure Order — but it’s all part of the Mule’s devastating master plan. Meanwhile, Day escapes to Mycogen, Han is jailed on New Terminus, and the Mallows crash-land on Haven. Emotional reunions, betrayals, and high-stakes gambits build toward a jaw-dropping climax as the Mule vaporizes Kalgan and the Imperial Fleet in one explosive move. And just when Gaal thinks the chaos is over, Demerzel returns after 300 years for a chilling face-off.
