Paul and Lady Jessica wait in their stilltent for Duncan Idaho to return. Though Paul drinks the water recycled by his stillsuit, Jessica is reluctant to do the same, fearing that doing so would indicate that she will never escape Arrakis. She dreams about Duke Leto and hears Paul’s voice singing about the spice, the Fremen, and religious war. At night, with the tent buried in a sandstorm, Paul uses a special tool to dig themselves out. Paul and Jessica stand beneath the stars and listen to the birds of Arrakis. Paul believes that they should move on from the tent. Jessica listens to her son and realizes that her life now orbits around him. They see large columns of fire in the distance: The Harkonnens are conducting a bombing raid and killing everything they can to destroy House Atreides forever. Paul and Jessica head south, finding cover among the rock formations as ornithopters fly over them.
Thufir Hawat and his men escape from the Harkonnen massacre. Knowing how badly they have been beaten, Hawat swears revenge on the Harkonnens and the traitor.
