Why Valya Harkonnen goes to Arrakis with Ynez and Keiran in Dune: Prophecy’s Ending

Valya will continue to unearth the enemy behind Desmond Hart

Valya Harkonnen is over Dune: Prophecy Season 1 in a captivating destination with even more captivating travel companions, and it’s all to be broken down. First of all, Valya’s interest in Arrakis stems from Desmond Hart’s original confrontation with the sandworm. Sometime before Season 1, An unknown player retrieved Desmond’s body and implanted a thinking machine into himhoping to spread the new version of the Omnius Plague. This version of the plague is triggered by fear, killing Sister Kasha and Pruwet Richese and slowly spreading among the sisterhood, causing nightmares.

Valya’s intention is to find out who exactly tasked Desmond Hart with this task, and Arrakis is the best place to begin the search. She brought Princess Ynez with her to ensure her safetyas Ynez is the Sisterhood’s ideal candidate to be placed on the throne of the Empire and secure their control and influence over the known universe. Keiran Atreides trusts neither Valya nor Harkonnen, which he has made clear, but his only goal now is to protect Ynez. He still doesn’t agree with the Empire’s overwhelming power, but he loves Ynez and wants to help her.

Who was behind Desmond Hart’s Capture & Thinking Machine Implant?

A hidden enemy lurks in the Dune universe

Much of Desmond Hart’s origin was clarified in the final two episodes of the series, when he was revealed to be the son of Tula Harkonnen and Orry Atreides. At some point on Arrakis, he was swallowed by a sandworm and awoke with new powers, and the season 1 finale reveals that he was given these abilities by a thinking machine implant that allowed him to spread the Omnius Plague. As for who specifically chose Desmond as a candidate, carried out the process, and sent him on his mission? It’s probably a character we haven’t seen yet.

Nevertheless, there is still room for speculation about what this unknown attacker wants. Their goal is to destroy the sisterhood They chose Desmond Hart to use his pre-existing hatred of the organization as a weapon. The character is someone who was wronged by the Sisterhood, possibly during or shortly after the Butlerian Jihad. There’s also the possibility that it could be the thinking machines themselves, angry at the Sisterhood for replacing their position in society, although a human being appears to be suspected in the season 1 finale.

Why Desmond Hart arrested his mother Tula Harkonnen

Desmond still doesn’t trust Tula

Desmond Hart and Tula Harkonnen, finally reunited after being separated at his birth, share a rather tender scene for a brief moment before he decides to arrest her. The audience knows that Tula has a deep love for Desmond and that the only reason she sent him away was with the honest intention of giving him a better life, not to be a tool for Valya and the Sisterhood. However, All Desmond knows is that he was sent away and lived a terrible lifeSo it will take some convincing before they have a real mother-son relationship.

What will happen to the sisterhood after Dorotea returns?

Who knows how long Dorotea will control Lila’s body

Lila’s intervention resulted in her genetic ancestors taking over her body, with Mother Superior Raquella returning to aid Tula Harkonnen in Episode 5. The season finale saw the return of Dorotea, who was…far less helpful. Dorotea, channeled through Lila’s body, essentially leads the Sisterhood in a mutiny against Valya Harkonnen and destroys Raquella’s forbidden thinking machine technology that gave them access to the genetic archive. It is unclear how long Dorotea will have control of Lila’s body, but for now the sisterhood is lost to the Harkonnen sisters.

Why Tula lied to Valya about her baby

Tula didn’t want her baby to be a tool for the sisterhood

Tula Harkonnen was in a state of conflict the entire time Dune: Prophecy Season 1. She is deeply loyal to her sister, but despite committing the atrocities against House Atreides on behalf of Valya, she is not 100% sure about her sister’s character. In the episode 6 flashback, where Valya makes the remaining sisters swear eternal loyalty to her, Tula previously shows a conflicted expression. Like Francesca with Javicco, Tula is loyal to the sisterhood, but even she has boundaries she doesn’t want to crossand her child’s life, determined by Valya’s intrigues, is one of them.

That leaves two possible options: Prince Constantine Corrino was Javicco’s illegitimate son, or Empress Natalya could try to create a Cersei Lannister-like situation where she becomes queen.
