In Dune: Prophecy episode 2, Lila startled Mother Tula by saying "Harkonnen" during her Agony ritual. The 2012 book Sisterhood of Dune, authored by Kevin J. Anderson and Brian, the son of original Dune author Frank Herbert, served as the basis for the six-part television series Dune: Prophecy. The narrative is set over 10,000 years before Paul Atreidies' ascent, which is detailed in Denis Villenueve's Dune (2020) and Dune: Part Two (2024). The beginnings of the formidable shadow sisterhood known as the Bene Gesserit and their manipulation of human destiny are revealed in Dune: Prophecy.
Emily Watson's tough and calculating commander Valya Harkonnen and her biological sister Tula Harkonnen are introduced in "The Hidden Hand" of episode 1 of Dune: Prophecy. Episode 2 of Dune: Prophecy tells the story of what happened to Lila and her grandmother, Reverend Mother Dorotea, after Tula and Valya Harkoennen persuaded her to participate in The Agony, a potentially fatal rite, too soon. Valya urged Lila to seek instruction from the ghost of her great-grandmother, Mother Superior Raquella, since she had been waiting years for The Reckoning, also called the Tiran Arafel. The subject of the Tiran Arafel is "a holy judgment brought on by a tyrant."
