Chapterhouse Dune so far be like: Odrade thinks. She paces around. She thinks again. Idaho thinks about having to restore Teg's original memories. Odrade also thinks about that and other stuff. Scytale also thinks/plots, confined in the no-ship. Odrade thinks some more. She speaks with a Bene Gesserit sister, which causes her to do some more deep thinking. Honoured Matres exist.
