DUNE: PROPHECY Episode 3 Promo Teases The Aftermath Of Last Week's Intense Final Scene - SPOILERS

Episode 2 of Dune: Prophecy closed out with a face-off between what are widely viewed as the show's most interesting characters, and it looks like the shocking developments that followed have taken their toll on Mother Superior Valya Harkonnen (Emily Watson).

Spoilers follow.

Towards the end of "Two Wolves," Valya returned to Salusa Secundus to find herself confronted by the enigmatic Desmond Hart (Travis Fimmel), who had previously admitted to using his strange pyrotechnic abilities to murder both Revered Mother Kasha (Jinhae) and the young Pruwet Richese (Charlie Hodson-Prior).

Upon learning that Hart - who apparently survived being swallowed by a sandworm on Arrakis - had made it his mission to wipe out the Sisterhood entirely, Valya uses "the Voice" to command the soldier to plunge his own dagger into his throat. Incredibly, Hart manages to resist the order.

"I always wondered what your greatest fear would be," he responds. "Now I have seen it. It's not that no one will hear you, it's that they'll hear you and just won't care."

It seems clear that Hart is going to be a much bigger problem than Valya originally anticipated, and should be a force to be reckoned with for the entire Sisterhood with the might of the Imperium behind him.

HBO has now released a teaser promo for next week's episode, and it looks like we will flash back to Valya in her teenage years as she establishes her role as leader of the Sisterhood. We also see the Mother Superior return to Wallach IX to plan her next move in the present.

From the expansive universe of Dune, created by acclaimed author Frank Herbert, and 10,000 years before the ascension of Paul Atreides, Dune: Prophecy follows two Harkonnen sisters as they combat forces that threaten the future of humankind and establish the fabled sect that will become known as the Bene Gesserit. The series is inspired by the novel Sisterhood of Dune, written by Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson.

The cast of Dune: Prophecy includes Emily Watson, Olivia Williams, Travis Fimmel, Jodhi May, Mark Strong, Sarah-Sofie Boussnina, Josh Heuston, Chloe Lea, Jade Anouka, Faoileann Cunningham, Edward Davis, Aoife Hinds, Chris Mason, Shalom Brune-Franklin, Jihae, Tabu, Charithra Chandran, Jessica Barden, Emma Canning, and Yerin Ha.

Alison Schapker serves as showrunner and executive producer. Diane Ademu-John co-developed the series and serves as executive producer. Anna Foerster executive produced and directed multiple episodes, including the first.

New episodes of Dune: Prophecy arrive weekly on Sunday nights at 9 p.m. ET/PT on HBO and streaming on Max.

Don't understand all the hate this show has been getting, so far it seems pretty solid.

@ModHaterSLADE - I liked all the films, hell even the sci-fi series despite the budget flaws but that pilot was so boring I gave up before the last 20 minutes. I don't need action but the dialogue should at least try to keep you engaged. It's cool to see Mark Strong and that Viking guy but their characters feel so dry, I want to like them but it's hard to feel anything for them when there isn't much t latch onto. I'll probably consider trying again once the season is over and if the reviews are strong enough.

@ModHaterSLADE - I’m trying to love this show but it’s just not keeping my attention like that. I watched the first episode 3 times and just couldn’t stay engaged. It’s not a terrible show so far, I’m just having trouble staying interested

@ModHaterSLADE - idk man, I love this show so far...but I never read any books so maybe they've changed alot of the lore? Either way I'm a huge fan

@HashTagSwagg - Yeah, Mark Strong has definitely been the highlight forme. The man is gold in everything he's in.

@ModHaterSLADE - people LOVE to hate on something which has 2 episodes out before they have even watched the entire thing because that makes absolute sense in this age lol

Idk about others in here but so far I Love this show! Has been a welcome addition to the Dune movies. Granted I never read any books and am going in blind other than watching Dune and Dune Part II but I love it. I love seeing the behind the scenes of how the houses got power and the sisterhood etc... for me it's top notch although maybe others think otherwise. Oh well. Can't wait to keep watching

Show has good elements but it does not feel at all like a HBO production. Some dreadful acting and dialogue, dnd gets with the ridiculous cringe sex scenes? We get it, you're HBO, you can show boobs. Yay.

@MarkCassidy - agreed. some of the acting is questionable at best, but, i can get past that (and the cringe sex scene) and appreciate what the show is trying to show us. clearly i like it more than others. is it on par with Penguin or Last of Us, no, but its still awesome imo

Very solid show so far! However, this show could go really well or go very badly! I am enjoying it a lot BUT it seems like it is veering into a trap Star Wars found itself in when increasing the power levels of the Jedi and Sith to the point they might as well just join the Marvel Cinematic universe. One of the best things about the Villenueve Dune is that the mysticism was subtle and largely unexplained. They did not go into how the voice worked but Villenueve expertly demonstrated that it was something that needed to be practiced and made reference to needing the right pitch giving the illusion that it was just a secret ability everyone could achieve. In this case Desmond has a power that I have never heard of in Dune that is apparently telekinetic. Also his ability to resist the Voice makes one wonder why the Bene Gesserit that Valya killed could not resist it. While I am really liking it on balance I hope this does not take the Dune franchise in the wrong direction. The showrunner Alison Schapker made the same mistake with the Underworld franchise where she completely upended the mythology by introducing a new superpowered vampire, killing off a central character in a unflattering way, and almost completely ignoring central points in the film that came before. Otherwise I am liking the twists, the imagery is excellent, and for the most part what we now know about the beginnings of the Bene Gesserit is a great addition to the Dune mythology!

I like the show but sex scenes,boobs and drug taking seem to be out of place after watching the recent movies.

@marvel72 - oh man didn't even think about that but you're spot on... my only thinking is they are showing how the "1%/great houses" live a completely different lifestyle than those on Arrakis fighting for survival and waiting for their messiah to set them free. It doesn't bother me but i definitely see what you're getting at
