In the present timeline, the political intrigue ramps up. The tension within the Imperial court feels reminiscent of Game of Thrones at its peak, but with that distinct Herbertian flavor of philosophical dread. The narrative thread involving the suspicious death of a key noble acts as a catalyst, forcing the Sisterhood to use their influence to manipulate the Emperor (played with weary authority by Mark Strong).
