You’d think that if you were about to play a part in a massive story- you’d actually do some research to know what you’re doing! But then again, even the people coming up with the questions haven’t thought the research it either!! The Baron didn’t give Jessica up because he had not idea she’d been born! Helen Mohiam is sent to secure a Harkonnen child, but the Baron has his own plan on making that happen- he paralyses he and rapes her but during this act she transmits a wasting disease to him which eventually causes him to need the suspensor harness to move as his legs won’t support him anymore.
They’d know all that if they bothered to read!
