Season 2 Episode 3: Shadows and Statecraft

In this episode, we take a look at chapters seven through nine of Dune Messiah, in which Reverend Mother Mohiam makes ruthless demands of Irulan, Alia makes some weird choices leading to quite possibly the most awkward encounter of her many lives, Edric debates the politics of the Empire with Paul, and we learn the true and genuinely shocking extent of the galactic jihad. Also, tarot cards turn out to be unexpectedly important.
