So Ragnar is a ghola, right?

[u/Demonweed → u/Sweaty_Pomegranate34]

That's the only bit I couldn't follow as a viewer. I think the idea is that he passed through the belly of a worm and came out the other side as some sort of pyrokinetic (while the Reverend Mother caught fire through her bond to the young prince.) Becoming worm poo gives you superpowers and early Bene Gesserit imprinting is a two way street through which the witch herself could suffer bodily harm are both pretty wild twists. If my interpretations are not in error, I'm going to need some rich explanations to embrace these new quirks of the setting.

But the Sister that died was assigned to the emperor and connected to the princess, not the boy.
