"In the exclusive sneak peek of 'Foundation' Season 3, Demerzel and Gaal Dornick share a tense encounter"
In the latest episode of Foundation Season 3, Demerzel's (Laura Birn) true nature is unveiled as Gaal Dornick (Lou Llobell) learns that her trusted companion is, in fact, an ancient android. This revelation, which comes over 300 years since their last meeting, adds a layer of complexity to their relationship and sets the stage for the series' unfolding conflicts.
The episode, titled "The Shape of Time," is a pivotal moment in the series as the plot between Demerzel and Gaal takes centre stage. Gaal's discovery of Demerzel's robotic nature deepens the mystery surrounding the character, who has served the Empire and protected the Cleon clones over the centuries.
The intense dynamic between the two characters is reminiscent of "two centuries-old queens having it out," making their scenes a particular highlight of the episode. Gaal attempts to emphasize the inevitability of the clash between herself and the Mule, mirroring the long-standing tension between opposing forces in the story. Demerzel's role as a manipulative and enigmatic figure is further underscored, with the death of Brother Dawn possibly being a ploy.
As the series progresses, Demerzel faces an existential crisis should Hari Seldon's psychohistory predictions come true and the galaxy falls into darkness. This crisis is further exacerbated by the fact that Demerzel might not be aware of her Mentallic abilities.
In the cliffhanger finale of the last episode, Gaal expected Brother Dawn to enter the airlock of her ship, but Demerzel appeared instead. This unexpected turn of events adds to the intrigue and suspense in the series.
The upcoming episode of Foundation Season 3 airs on Aug. 15, 2025, on Apple TV+. In an exclusive clip from this week's episode, Demerzel and Gaal Dornick have a confrontation aboard a starship. The fate of Brother Dawn remains uncertain, and the possibility of an alliance between the Empire and the Foundation looms large.
