Seldon offers Tennar an example of what psychohistory might eventually be able to do: the problem of government is raising taxes; their growing complexity consumes taxes and becomes incomprehensible to the people who pay them, which inspires discontent and rebellion. Tennar assumes that Seldon is recommending the simplification of the tax system. Seldon later tells Raych that Tennar will be moved to institute the simplest tax of all, a poll tax, which in the present unstable condition of Trantor will cause riots.
Dors inquires into the operation of the Prime Radiant and into the invention of the Electro-Clarifier by Elar and its construction by Cinda Monay, and then into a disturbing dream in which Wanda thought she heard two people speak of "lemonade death." She decides that this was not a dream but a conversation between Linn and another person Wanda overheard while she was dozing, hidden, in a chair in Seldon's office. Dors suggests the phrase may have been "layman-aided" death, but Amaryl's physical condition and Seldon's concern about his age leads her to suspect that the Electro-Clarifier is having a long-term effect on both of them.
Dors confronts Elar and accuses him of suggesting the birthday party as evidence to Tennar and Linn of Seldon's dangerous popularity and of being the person overheard talking to Linn in Seldon's office. Instead of layman-aided death, Dors suggests that the phrase, taken from the Elar-Monay Clarifier, was "Elar-Monay death." Dors, weakened by an intense Electro-Clarifier in Elar's office, kills Elar with a blow and staggers off to tell Seldon.
For the first time, as she is dying, Dors reveals that she is a robot and that the combination of the Electro-Clarifier and the killing of a human have damaged her beyond repair. She tells Seldon that his love made her human. The Poll-tax-induced riots begin on Trantor but Seldon is inconsolable.
In Part IV, "Wanda Seldon," Trantor is continuing to deteriorate, tax funds are short, and crime is widespread. Seldon has discovered that Wanda has the ability to read and influence people's minds (like Daneel) and tells a dying Yugo that his idea to set up two Foundations can now become reality, using people with Wanda's ability to form a Second Foundation of mentalists who will be the Second Empire's guardians.
Raych and Dubanqua decide to emigrate to Santanni with their second child Bellis; Santanni is a decent, provincial world on the other side of the Galaxy. Wanda influences them to leave her behind with Seldon. Later Santanni explodes in a revolution in which Raych dies after sending Dubanqua and Bellis on a hypership to Anacreon, but the
