The “Dune: Prophecy” brought us major reveals and set up some new mysteries. Let’s break them down.

Throughout its first season, Dune: Prophecy has hit us with a potent combination of space politicking and sci-fi strangeness, with everything from prophetic visions to magnificent sandworms on the table. In its Season 1 finale, Dune: Prophecy brings all this together for a revelatory conclusion, answering some of our biggest questions from the season, while raising others that will be explored in Season 2.

From revelations about the Omnius Plague to game-changing flashbacks, let’s break down Dune: Prophecy‘s Season 1 finale, “The High-Handed Enemy.”

Flashbacks reveal that Tula is Demond Hart’s mother — and why she gave him away.

Episode 5 of Dune: Prophecy revealed the true reason behind Desmond Hart’s (Travis Fimmel) hatred of the Sisterhood. His mother was a Sister, yet she gave him away. Turns out, his mother was none other than Tula Harkonenn (played by Olivia Williams in the present and Emma Canning in the past). That means his father is the late Orry Atreides (Milo Callaghan), killed by Tula’s own hand.

In a flashback, Tula discloses her pregnancy to her sister Valya (played Emily Watson in the present and Jessica Barden in the past), who is supportive of her decision to keep the baby. She becomes even more supportive after a trip to Mother Superior Raquella’s (Cathy Tyson) breeding index, which shows that a cross between the Atreides and Harkonnen lines would result in a child with extraordinary potential. (Paul Atreides says hi from 10,000 years in the future.)

However, Tula has some misgivings about Valya’s desire to mold and shape her son into a powerful figure from birth. Without Valya’s knowledge, she swaps her newborn baby with the stillborn child of a laborer on Wallach IX. She hopes that in getting her son away from the Sisterhood, he can make his own path. But how could she have predicted that path would have led him right back to the Sisterhood with vengeance in his heart?

More flashbacks show Valya’s bloody rise to power, leading to chaos on present-day Wallach IX.

“The High-Handed Enemy” remains in the past for more major reveals. In the aftermath of Valya’s murder of Sister Dorotea (Camilla Beeput), she, Tula, Kasha (Yerin Ha), and Francesca (Charithra Chandran) confront Dorotea’s disciples in order to assume total control of the Sisterhood. They offer them a choice: Follow Dorotea’s path into death, or follow Valya into the future of the order. When the Sisters don’t choose right away, Valya, Kasha, Francesca, and a hesitant Tula use the Voice to compel them. Most slit their own throats. Only Sister Avila (Barbara Marten) sides with Valya.

The incident would have been lost to history, if it wasn’t for Sister Lila (Chloe Lea) in the present. After undergoing the Agony in episode 2, Lila has become unstable, with her ancestors possessing her body for hours at a time. In episode 5, that ancestor was Raquella. Thanks to her, Tula was able to understand that the cause for present-day Kasha’s (Jihae) death was something similar Omnius Plague, a bioweapon used by thinking machines in the Butlerian Jihad that was long thought to be gone.

But in episode 6, a new ancestor grabs hold of Lila. Sister Dorotea takes control and uncovers the mass grave of her old followers, proving to the current acolytes that the entire Sisterhood was built on blood. Dorotea-as-Lila then leads the acolytes to Raquella’s thinking machine Anirul. She destroys it, possibly taking the breeding index with it.

That’s where Dune: Prophecy leaves things on Wallach IX, with the acolytes disillusioned and ready to destroy everything Valya and Tula have built. But since those two are off-planet, they’ll just have wait until Season 2 to learn about the consequences of their actions.

Salusa Secundus falls into disarray.

Wallach IX isn’t the only planet in the Imperium where all hell is breaking loose. On Salusa Secundus, Empress Natalya (Jodhi May) arrests her own daughter Ynez (Sarah-Sofie Boussnina) for trying to break Kieran Atreides (Chris Mason) out of his suspensor cell. Since Ynez is Valya’s strongest prospect for having a Sister on the throne, she decides to intervene, getting herself arrested on purpose in order to free Ynez. With the help of the Voice and Sister Theodosia’s (Jade Anouka) shapeshifting abilities — which she received as a result of genetic experimentation by the Tleilaxu — Valya, Ynez, and Kieran escape. Theodosia stays behind and disguises herself as a wounded soldier. She almost kills Desmond with the element of surprise, but he wounds her and plans to have her imprisoned. Next season, expect to learn more about her role as a Face Dancer, and the mysterious Tleilaxu who made her this way.

Things continue to fall apart for Emperor Javicco Corrino (Mark Strong). He learns that the Sisterhood has been steering his life from the very beginning, sending Sister Francesca (played in the present by Tabu) to imprint on him in his youth and setting up his match with Natalya. Now that he is no longer useful to the Sisterhood, Valya sends Francesca to kill him with the poisoned gom jabbar needle. But Javicco chooses to grab hold of what little agency remains to him and dies by suicide instead. As Francesca grieves, Natalya uses the gom jabbar to kill her.

With Javicco gone and any trace of the Sisterhood’s council removed from the palace, the Imperium presumably falls to Natalya’s control. But remember, Javicco made his and Francesca’s son Constantine (Josh Heuston) the commander of his fleet in episode 5, meaning that Season 2 could see him fighting Natalya for control.

The cure for the Omnius Plague is basically the Litany Against Fear.

At the very start of the “The Heavy-Handed Enemy,” Tula and Sister Nazir (Karima McAdams) research the mysterious bioweapon that killed Kasha, Pruwet Richese (Charlie Hodson-Prior), and members of the Landsraad. How could Kasha have withstood this virus for so long, while Pruwet and those in the Landsraad died after very little exposure to Desmond?

Turns out, Kasha had a “unique ability to live in the face of fear,” and that kept the virus at bay for a time. Nazir and Tula realize that the virus feeds on fear, explaining the nightmares of the sandworm and those glowing blue eyes that the Sisters have been having. Nazir attempts to create an antiviral by transmuting the virus within herself — similarly to how Sisters alter poison when they undergo the Agony — but fails.

However, when Valya is exposed to the virus in her confrontation with Desmond at the end of the episode, she’s able to make it through thanks to help from Tula. “You have to let go of your fears,” Tula tells her as Valya fights through a vision of the death of their brother Griffin.

She continues: “All the fear. All the pain. You can’t run from it. You can’t fight it. You have to let it pass through you.”

Sound familiar? The emphasis on withstanding fear here calls to mind the Litany Against Fear in Frank Herbert’s original Dune novels, which Lady Jessica and Paul both call upon to center themselves in dire times.

“I must not fear,” the Litany goes. “Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past, I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.”

Tula’s words to Valya sound like a precursor to the Litany, something we’ll no doubt see take form in Season 2 of Dune: Prophecy. But in Season 1, they work just as well. In her vision, Valya stands and allows the fear to pass through her. She witnesses the sandworm nightmare that has horrified so many of her fellow Sisters, but she also sees beyond it, learning what those monstrous blue eyes have been all this time.

What were the blue eyes in Dune: Prophecy?

As Valya sees, the nightmare that’s plagued her Sisters isn’t just a nightmare: It’s what Desmond Hart experienced after the sandworm attack on Arrakis. When he awoke, he came face to face with a large machine, the blue lights of which are the eyes from the nightmare.

In a gnarly sequence shot from Desmond’s point of view, we watch as the machine pulls one of Desmond’s eyes from its socket and implants his optic nerve with what must be the nanobots that transmitted the virus. A mysterious figure watches the procedure from a nearby window flooded with golden light, suggesting whoever carried out this operation was stationed on Arrakis.

With that knowledge in mind, it’s off to Arrakis for Valya, Ynez, and Kieran, who hope to find the truth behind their hidden enemy. Meanwhile, Tula stays behind in the hopes of saving Desmond from the pain the machines have caused him. But after a silent reunion, Desmond calls for Tula’s arrest. At least she’ll have Theodosia to keep her company.

So after that jam-packed finale, the biggest question remains: Who is the hidden enemy who mobilized Desmond against the Imperium and the Sisterhood?

Whoever it is would have to have access to thinking machines, and no qualms about using them. There are a few possibilities from the Dune novels we could look at. First up is the Richese family, who played a prominent part in Dune: Prophecy‘s first episodes. As longtime makers of thinking machines, they’re clearly more lax about possessing and using them, even though they’re outlawed. However, why would the Richeses use Desmond to kill and maim members of their own family? Could we be looking at a splinter faction within the family?

Another more likely possibility is the Ixians, inhabitants of the planet Ix who continued to manufacture thinking machines. Dune’s “Terminology of the Imperium” section describes Ix as having “escaped the more severe effects of the Butlerian Jihad” alongside House Richese. Now, it’s “supreme in machine culture.” With that in mind, it’s very likely that Dune: Prophecy could be setting up Ix as the next big enemy the Sisterhood and Imperium will face. After all, it’s another important faction from Herbert’s universe, so why not get it on the board for Season 2?

Season 1 of Dune: Prophecy is now streaming on Max.

Where did Wordle come from?

Originally created by engineer Josh Wardle as a gift for his partner, Wordle rapidly spread to become an international phenomenon, with thousands of people around the globe playing every day. Alternate Wordle versions created by fans also sprang up, including battle royale Squabble, music identification game Heardle, and variations like Dordle and Quordle that make you guess multiple words at once. 

Wordle eventually became so popular that it was purchased by the New York Times, and TikTok creators even livestream themselves playing.

The best Wordle starting word is the one that speaks to you. But if you prefer to be strategic in your approach, we have a few ideas to help you pick a word that might help you find the solution faster. One tip is to select a word that includes at least two different vowels, plus some common consonants like S, T, R, or N.

What happened to the Wordle archive?

The entire archive of past Wordle puzzles was originally available for anyone to enjoy whenever they felt like it, but it was later taken down, with the website’s creator stating it was done at the request of the New York Times. However, the New York Times then rolled out its own Wordle Archive, available only to NYT Games subscribers.

Is Wordle getting harder?

It might feel like Wordle is getting harder, but it actually isn’t any more difficult than when it first began. You can turn on Wordle‘s Hard Mode if you’re after more of a challenge, though.

The NYT Strands hints and answers you need to make the most of your puzzling experience.

If you’re reading this, you’re looking for a little help playing Strands, the New York Times‘ elevated word-search game.

Strands requires the player to perform a twist on the classic word search. Words can be made from linked letters — up, down, left, right, or diagonal, but words can also change direction, resulting in quirky shapes and patterns. Every single letter in the grid will be part of an answer. There’s always a theme linking every solution, along with the “spangram,” a special, word or phrase that sums up that day’s theme, and spans the entire grid horizontally or vertically.

By providing an opaque hint and not providing the word list, Strands creates a brain-teasing game that takes a little longer to play than its other games, like Wordle and Connections.

If you’re feeling stuck or just don’t have 10 or more minutes to figure out today’s puzzle, we’ve got all the NYT Strands hints for today’s puzzle you need to progress at your preferred pace.

Martin Short’s “Saturday Night Live” monologue is a musical ode to needing drugs to getting through Christmas anxiety.

Martin Short celebrated his fifth time hosting Saturday Night Live with a monologue brimming with musical holiday cheer.

The Only Murders in the Building star kicked things off with a conventional monologue, roasting everything from Cybertrucks to his co-star Steve Martin.

“He would have been here tonight, but he had a conflict with me not wanting him to be here,” Short said. “And besides, it’s rehearsal week for The Masked Singer.”

But when SNL‘s cast members beg Short to cure their holiday anxieties, the host is all too happy to oblige — in song, of course. He bursts into a parody of “We Need a Little Christmas,” telling the audience they “need a new prescription” to get through the holiday season.

Come for Short’s boundless energy and singing, stay for him throwing a child off of Santa’s lap and roasting Lorne Michaels. (“You smell wonderful, I didn’t know Jack Daniels made cologne.”) Plus, after a week of fighting with Jimmy Fallon, the pair reconcile with a passionate makeout session. It’s a Christmas miracle!

A visit from Scarlett Johansson makes this year’s ‘SNL’ Christmas joke swap especially wild.

Ever since Dec. 2018, Saturday Night Live Weekend Update anchors Colin Jost and Michael Che have celebrated Christmas with a new tradition. The two swap jokes live on-air, reading jokes their co-anchor has written that they’ve never seen until now.

Basically, it’s an excuse for Jost and Che to make the other say some wildly offensive things, and to end the year, the pair reach new heights. Nothing is off the table, from slavery reparations to allegations against rappers Sean “Diddy” Combs and Jay-Z. But Che takes things to a nuclear level by making Jost joke about his marriage to Scarlett Johansson (Fly Me to the Moon) while she’s in the studio.

That’s right: Johansson, who made a cameo in the episode’s Five-Timers Club cold open, was watching live. And SNL made sure to catch all her reactions to Jost’s jokes from Che. You just have to see it to believe it.

Martin Short joined the ‘SNL’ Five-Timers Club, so who better to welcome him than Tom Hanks, Melissa McCarthy, John Mulaney, and more?

Martin Short, welcome to the Saturday Night Live Five-Timers Club!

The Only Murders in the Building star and former SNL cast member celebrated his fifth time hosting in style, with Tom Hanks himself welcoming him into the lauded Five-Timers Club. Also present were Paul Rudd, Tina Fey, Alec Baldwin (who’s hosted a whopping 17 times), Kristen Wiig, Emma Stone, Melissa McCarthy, John Mulaney, and Scarlett Johansson, who shut her husband (Weekend Update co-anchor Colin Jost) out of the club.

Jimmy Fallon was also on hand to give Short his Five-Timers Club jacket, and if you thought Short was done roasting him after his guest spot on his show this past week, then you’d be mistaken.

“I can only stay for a little bit, and then I have to go and host another game show and laugh at my own jokes,” Fallon said upon entering.

“Well, at least someone’s laughing,” Short replied.

Fallon wasn’t the only victim of Short’s jabs, though. He also roasted Mulaney after he made mention of their short-lived 2014 sitcom Mulaney.

“But you came back strong!” Short said. “Then you crashed and burned. And then you came back strong, and we’re all so curious what will happen next.”

Not even Short’s absent partner-in-crime Steve Martin was spared. As Hanks gives Short the night’s signature cocktail, a “MartyTini”, he remarks it’s often paired with a “Steve MarTini.”

“I bet it’s even better on its own,” Short says while taking a sip.

Don’t worry, though: Members of the Five-Timers Club dish Short’s roasts back to him. To see more playful insults and learn about some intriguing romantic relationships within the Club, check out the full clip above.
