Quick recap

Cornered by the Honored Matres, the Bene Gesserit turn Chapterhouse into a desert to breed sandworms. Mother Superior Odrade holds Duncan Idaho, former Honored Matre Murbella and Scytale, the last Tleilaxu. Murbella survives the spice agony and becomes a Reverend Mother, and a ghola of Miles Teg regains his memories. Odrade puts Teg in charge of an attack on Gammu and Junction. Victory seems certain, but Odrade is captured and killed. Following her plan, Murbella kills the enemy leader, takes over the Honored Matres and begins merging the two orders. Sheeana, Duncan, Teg and Scytale escape in a no-ship with sandworms. In the epilogue, a mysterious couple watches them go.
