Previously, Brother Dawn was sent flying through an airlock in episode 5 and was never mentioned, beyond Demerzel’s claims that he was dead. However, in episode 6, Brother Day’s adventure into Mycogen finally leads to something. He finds his consort Song in her apartment but her decision leads to some devastating consequences for the Cleon 1 clone.

Meanwhile, Bayta and Toran Mallow take Magnifico to New Terminus, hoping to strike a deal that benefits both the Foundation and the Traders Alliance. However, The Mule has other ideas as he interrupts the Vault opening and Hari Seldon’s speech about the future with his own attack.

These developments mark a key point in Foundation season 3, suggesting that the conflict between the Empire, Foundation, and The Mule has finally hit its most dangerous phase.

A brief recap of Foundation season 3 episode 6

Foundation season 3 episode 6 brings The Mule back on screen and not through a holo-call but with the warlord waking up with a shock on his spaceship. He then commands his right-hand man to prepare Blacktongue to attack another planet, which is later revealed to be New Terminus. Back on Gaal Dornick’s ship, Demerzel has made a shocking appearance and the encounter quickly turns violent.

However, Gaal convinces Demerzel about her role in Hari Seldon’s future and the two work together for a little while. Demerzel gets direct access to Gaal's memories and visions, which proves what the latter has been telling her. She also manages to figure out when and where Gaal and The Mule will have their first and final confrontation.

The robot eventually leaves the mentalist alone on her ship, but only after informing her that New Terminus is under attack by The Mule. Meanwhile, on Mycogen, Brother Day has finally found Song and attempts to convince her that he is the love of her life. He even offers her the memories that Demerzel deleted alongside the robot’s makeup tool which he hoped would convince her to accept him.

However, Song outright rejects Day instead and tells him that if she ever did say “I love you” to him, it was only out of fear. That seemingly breaks Day’s heart as Song’s partner, Oceanglass, steps into the room and protects Song by shooting Day with a stun gun. Song then tells him that Oceanglass is her one true love and life partner, and anything she and Day shared was fake.

What to expect from Foundation season 3 episode 7?

Foundation season 3 episode 7 will likely deal with the consequences of The Mule’s attack on New Terminus after he forced the planet’s defences to fire upon each other. More importantly, it is expected to focus on the aftermath of holographic Hari Seldon’s lack of knowledge about The Mule and how he remains a dark spot in his predictions.

Ad

The destruction caused on New Terminus, however, will likely only be the start of the warlord’s plans for the universe and the episode may explore his attempt to find Gaal Dornick. She’s currently on her ship near Clarion station, and after barely surviving a pow-wow with Demerzel, the Second Foundation’s leader has a lot of work left to do.

That is especially with Brother Dawn presumed dead, as Demerzel reveals that his nanites stopped functioning seconds after he was ejected from the airlock. But since he was wearing a safety suit, the likelihood that he survived is high and that may be explored in episode 7.

Ad

Brother Day, on the other hand, is firmly rejected by Song after finding her in the Mycogen district and he is even shot by her “true mate” Oceanglass, leaving Day heartbroken. But to make matters worse, Oceanglass is part of the district’s security force and someone who doesn’t like the Cleons or their clones, leaving his life hanging by a thread.
