    The book covered this. Jessica was supposed to have borne a daughter who would have been paired with Feyd Rautha to produce the Kwisatz Haderach. Paul was a wildcard who was outside the Bene Gesserit control - remember when the Reverend Mother was angry that Jessica was teaching Paul BG secrets? The BG had Lady Fenring seduce Feyd to maintain the bloodline in case they wanted to have another crack at it.

    Spoiler: they did not want another crack at it by the time Leto II was done with them.

      Right, but I’m saying that Leto 2 (or 3) is the kaketown homeboy because he saw the golden path , turned into a worm and ruled for a bajillennium.

      Edit: and the Benelux confederation suck because they didn’t realise this.

        I’m pretty sure there can be more than one, in the books it talks about how others tried too. Sounded like the Bene Tleilax had at least one.
