Sandworms of Dune - Entry #19

The Epilogue (provides insight in to the next decade).
  1. Duncan returns to Qelso with thinking machines to help Liet and Stilgar.
  2. Jessica and Dr. Yueh returned to Caladan.  Scytale had grown a ghola of Duke Leto whose memories would one day be awakened so that Jessica and her beloved Duke could be together again. (Yeah, she'll be 20 years older than him but she is Bene Gesserit you know).
  3. Mother Superior Sheeana led the small band of settlers on Synchrony where they established an orthodox Bene Gesserit center.  She also had Scytale grow a ghola ... Serena Butler. 
  4. Last but not least, Paul and Chani returned to Dune.  There they worked at building a new sietch and starting a new family ... this time with no Irulan to interfere, there were no problems with her pregnancy.  Together, in peace, and in love.
I'll wrap this up with one of the last chapter starters and some good advice:
     Some problems are best solved with an optimistic approach.  Optimism shines a light on alternatives that are otherwise not visible.
