Episode Summary & Review
Summary
The Empire recruits Bel Riose to investigate the resurgent Foundation. Hari leads Gaal and Salvor to a desert planet.
Our Take
A mostly setup-heavy hour that still finds room to breathe. Lee Pace’s recruitment scenes crackle, and Jared Harris continues to make even ghostly exposition feel engaging, though the desert planet storyline moves slower than it should. Worth watching for the character work, even if the plot inches forward.
