Episode 5 of the Apple TV+ adaptation of Isaac Asimov’s Foundation started to answer some of the questions it put in viewers’ minds. There is a flashback to Gaal’s homeworld of Synnax where we learn more about the events that led to her solving the Abraxas Conjecture.

On Terminus, the Anacreons plan starts to take shape in the fifth episode. The Encyclopedists were right that the Empire would intervene, but that was exactly Phara’s plan. She wanted to lure the Imperial jump ship to the outer reach so that she could shoot it down. It’s not clear what her motivation is beyond that, but she explained to Salvor why the colonists on Terminus aren’t innocent. Hari Seldon’s prophecies led Cleon to make an example out of her planet after the Starbridge attack.

Gaal wakes up after 35 years in cryosleep in episode 5. She learns that the slow ship made it to Terminus and that she’s considered Raych’s accomplice in Hari’s murder. She can’t control the ship she’s on because it was expecting Raych, and she learns that he sacrificed himself so that she could make it out. She figures out it’s heading towards Hari’s homeworld of Helicon.

At the end of episode 5, we see Gaal Dornick discover some manifestation of Hari Seldon. This may be connected to the device Raych removed from behind his ear before he put Gaal on the cryosleep escape pod.

The official Foundation TV Logline from Apple:
When revolutionary Dr. Hari Seldon predicts the impending fall of the Empire, he and a band of loyal followers venture to the far reaches of the galaxy to establish The Foundation in an attempt to rebuild and preserve the future of civilization. Enraged by Hari's claims, the ruling Cleons – a long line of emperor clones – fear their grasp on the galaxy may be weakening as they’re forced to reckon with the potential reality of losing their legacy forever.
