Dune: Prophecy season 1 episode 4: The Face Dancers are here?
Did Dune: Prophecy season 1 episode 4 just make things infinitely more complicated? You can argue that for sure; as a matter of fact, the only people who may actually have an understanding of what is happening right now are those familiar with the books.
After all, is it clear that Theodosia is a Face Dancer, someone who has a unique shapeshifting ability? We at least know that the character disguised herself as Griffin. Unless the series is doing something rather different than the source material, it does feel a little clear as to what is happening here…
The Face Dancers are a group within the Bene Tleilax, another organization that does exist within the greater Dune universe. While Theodosia is not confirmed to be from there, Valya did not appear to be shocked when she exercised her abilities. This suggests that she was brought in for a very particular purpose, and we know that Valya has also worked in order to welcome in a wide array of people into the Sisterhood. Her inclusivity in that way helps her to achieve her end goal here, which is the repositioning of her house in a proper position of power and influence all over the known universe.
As for the other big reveal we had tonight, is it as easy as just saying that Lila’s spice-chamber was enough to revive her? Maybe this is not an enormous shock to a lot of people out there, but it still holds some pretty enormous ramifications based mostly on what that character remembers. The true extent of that, at least at this particular moment, has not been made clear. There are two episodes left, and it feels as though everything may still unravel there.
