In this episode, we take a look at chapters thirty-seven through thirty-nine of Children of Dune, in which Leto has a harsh (and creepy!) awakening into a high-stakes game of riddles, Jessica begins Farad'n's Bene Gesserit training, Leto is forced to undergo the spice trance he and his sister have been steadfastly avoiding in hopes of staving off Abomination, and Gurney is revealed as Leto's mysterious captor. (As well as mercilessly savaged over his looks by our esteemed author, as usual. WE GET IT, FRANK.)
