Look, I don't know if Brother Constant chose her name deliberately or if it's part of the doctrine of the Church of the Galactic Spirit, but just think.
The three current Cleons, Brother Dawn, Brother Day and Brother Dusk. Confronted by the emissary of the Foundation, the potential foe of Empire whom the Cleons had thought to have died out; who, in contrast to their perpetual waxing and waning is Constant.
(And, to quote some appropriate Julius Caesar III.i.58-65):
I could be well moved if I were as you.
If I could pray to move, prayers would move me.
But I am constant as the Northern Star,
Of whose true fixed and resting quality
There is no fellow in the firmament.
The skies are painted with unnumbered sparks;
They are all fire, and every one doth shine;
But there's but one in all doth hold his place.
The speech Caesar gives just before his murder...

Foundation: Creation Myths & Season 2 – TV Review
TL;DR – The crisis climbs to a crescendo as cracks cascade over a crumbling continuum of chance and causality.
⭐⭐⭐⭐
Rating: 4 out of 5.
Disclosure – I paid for the Apple TV+ service that viewed this episode.
Foundation Review –
Well, we have come to the end of the second season, and what a fascinating season it was. Adapting novels to work in a visual medium is no small feat, let alone one…

Thinking about how in season 1 of Foundation the ambassadors of Thespis and Anacreon were put on trial for an attack carried out by apparent terrorists from both of their planets, predicted by Hari Seldon, and Cleon XII publicly executed all the delegates and bombarded their planets.
And now, in season 2, Brother Constant with Thespin heritage and Poly Verisof with Anacreon heritage,* sent by Hari Seldon's Foundation as ambassadors of peace, are on trial in front of Cleon XVII, perhaps about to be publicly executed going by the trailers, and there's been some compelling speculation in our fan community that something's going to get bombarded.
Also, Constant will ask 'Should I speak first, or will you?'; pretty much the same thing Seldon said first of all to Cleon XII.
What goes around comes around.
*I can't remember if it's been mentioned in the show, but in the books Poly is the High Priest of Anacreon.
