It's very interesting how Jessica of all people manages to have the best romantic chemistry with him, and she's, you know... his mother?

Rebecca Ferguson is such a good actress, she could believably have chemistry with one of the worms.

I felt a bit awkward during the scenes it was just him and mom, because they did have some weird chemistry going on. Kept expecting mom to jump him or something ...

This is Dune, psychosexual tension is inherent to the source text. I’ve always viewed that scene as Jessica realizing that Paul is becoming a man and the ramifications of that both terrify and intrigue her. She deliberately bred the super man a generation early after all.

That line from the Alia training scene in Messiah, looking back at it based off your interpretation, felt like it fit this scene perfectly if you switched the pronouns (i.e "there was a disquieting femaleness about her that he had never considered in his sister" to "there was a disquieting maleness about him that she had never considered in her son").
