! Scene 3 - What Is It?
%%blue [Sheriam|Sheriam (Show)]%%, %%blue [Leane|Leane (Show)]%%, and %%red [Liandrin|Liandrin (Show)]%% stand with [Nynaeve|Nynaeve (Show)] in a chamber at the [White Tower] containing the [Three Arches], a [ter'angreal|Angreal] from before the [Breaking of the World|Breaking]. They explain that [ter'angreals|Angreal] serve many purposes, but their creation is a lost art, and many [Aes Sedai] have been killed or burned out studying them. %%blue [Leane|Leane (Show)]%% reassures [Nynaeve|Nynaeve (Show)] that this [ter'angreal|Angreal]’s function is known: it forces a novice to confront her greatest fears, though what she experiences remains private, and she need only walk through each arch and return. They then share two rules, kept secret until this moment:
# Once you start, you must continue to the end or otherwise they will be put out of the [Tower|White Tower] with enough money for a year, and never be allowed back.
# "To seek, to strive, is to know danger." and there is the possibility of danger. Some women have never returned.
They offer [Nynaeve|Nynaeve (Show)] one last chance to refuse, noting that each woman gets three attempts before permanent expulsion from the [Tower|White Tower]. %%blue [Leane|Leane (Show)]%% admits she failed her first attempt. [Nynaeve|Nynaeve (Show)] declares she’s ready, and %%blue [Sheriam|Sheriam (Show)]%% instructs her to strip to her shift, as she can bring nothing inside and cannot [channel|One Power]. %%blue [Sheriam|Sheriam (Show)]%%, %%blue [Leane|Leane (Show)]%%, and %%red [Liandrin|Liandrin (Show)]%% weave to activate the [Three Arches]. %%blue [Sheriam|Sheriam (Show)]%% warns, "The way back will come but once."
[Nynaeve|Nynaeve (Show)] steps into the first arch.
! Scene 4 - What Was
Inside the first arch, [Nynaeve|Nynaeve (Show)] finds herself in her childhood. Her father, [Beerien|Beerien (Show)], notices crimsonthorn root in her hand and takes her to a nearby stream to rinse it off. Bandits armed with bows emerge, shooting at [Nynaeve|Nynaeve (Show)] and [Beerien|Beerien (Show)]. They flee, pursued by the bandits, until [Nynaeve|Nynaeve (Show)]’s mother, [Elnore|Elnore (Show)], appears with a bow, shooting back to cover their escape. The al’Mearas reach their home, locking the door, and hide [Nynaeve|Nynaeve (Show)] in the cellar. [Beerien|Beerien (Show)] urges her to be brave and quiet, saying in the [Old Tongue], "We shall go into the old land so our children can always hold us and will never be alone."[1] As the bandits break in, [Beerien|Beerien (Show)] closes the cellar door and joins [Elnore|Elnore (Show)] upstairs to fight. [Nynaeve|Nynaeve (Show)] grabs a meat cleaver just as %%blue [Sheriam|Sheriam (Show)]%%’s voice echoes, "The way back will come but once," and an arch doorway appears. After a moment’s hesitation, [Nynaeve|Nynaeve (Show)] steps through, returning to the [Three Arches] chamber in the [White Tower]. %%red [Liandrin|Liandrin (Show)]%% pours water over her in a symbolic cleansing, and %%blue [Leane|Leane (Show)]%% heals her minor injuries. [Nynaeve|Nynaeve (Show)] asks if the vision was real, but %%blue [Sheriam|Sheriam (Show)]%% replies that no one knows.
The [Three Arches] activate again, and %%blue [Sheriam|Sheriam (Show)]%% repeats her warning, "The way back will come but once."
[Nynaeve|Nynaeve (Show)] enters the next arch.
! Scene 5 - What Is
Inside the second arch, [Nynaeve|Nynaeve (Show)] awakens on a bed in the [Two Rivers], surrounded by sick villagers in a room possibly within the [Winespring Inn]. [Tam|Tam (Show)], lying in the bed beside her, explains that a fever has ravaged the community since her departure. [Nynaeve|Nynaeve (Show)] opens his shirt, revealing fever blisters on his chest, and spots crimsonthorn root on a nearby table. [Tam|Tam (Show)] reveals that the new Wisdom, [Natti|Natti (Show)], gave it to him. Confronting [Natti|Natti (Show)], [Nynaeve|Nynaeve (Show)] learns she’s administering the root to [Tam|Tam (Show)] and others for a painless death. [Nynaeve|Nynaeve (Show)] insists [Aes Sedai] can heal the fever, but [Natti|Natti (Show)] retorts that they sought help months ago with no response, accusing [Nynaeve|Nynaeve (Show)] of abandoning them and declaring the [Two Rivers] is no longer her home.
Returning to [Tam|Tam (Show)], [Nynaeve|Nynaeve (Show)] reassures him he’ll be fine, but he knows the truth and asks her to stay until the herbs "have done their work." %%blue [Sheriam|Sheriam (Show)]%%’s voice echoes, "The way back will come but once," and an arch doorway appears. Despite [Tam|Tam (Show)]’s plea to stay, [Nynaeve|Nynaeve (Show)] steps through, returning to the [Three Arches] chamber in the [White Tower]. %%red [Liandrin|Liandrin (Show)]%% pours water over her in a symbolic cleansing. [Nynaeve|Nynaeve (Show)] pleads with the [Aes Sedai] to aid the [Two Rivers] against the plague, but %%red [Liandrin|Liandrin (Show)]%% insists she must continue through the arches.
The [Three Arches] activate again, and %%blue [Sheriam|Sheriam (Show)]%% repeats her warning, "The way back will come but once."
[Nynaeve|Nynaeve (Show)] enters the next arch.
! Scene 6 - What Might Be
Inside the third arch, [Nynaeve|Nynaeve (Show)] is engulfed in a chaotic vision: screaming voices fill the air as she floats in a void, wearing a red dress, hands pressed over her ears. Fragmented images of [Lan|Lan (Show)] appear, reciting words from a past moment (Scene 8 - [Episode 108]). Abruptly, [Nynaeve|Nynaeve (Show)] is flung out of the arch, landing back in the [Three Arches] chamber in the [White Tower] with two bloodstains on her shirt. She admits she doesn’t remember what happened. %%blue [Sheriam|Sheriam (Show)]%% pours water over her in a symbolic cleansing, and %%blue [Leane|Leane (Show)]%% examines her, declaring the blood is not hers. [Nynaeve|Nynaeve (Show)] opens her hand to find she’s clutching [Lan|Lan (Show)]’s [hadori]. %%blue [Sheriam|Sheriam (Show)]%% announces that [Nynaeve|Nynaeve (Show)] is now [Accepted] and offers her an [Aes Sedai] ring, lacking its stone, but [Nynaeve|Nynaeve (Show)] rejects it, declaring that if the test’s purpose is to prioritize the [Tower|White Tower] above all else, she wants no part of it. As she storms out, %%red [Liandrin|Liandrin (Show)]%% warns that leaving means she can never return, but [Nynaeve|Nynaeve (Show)] continues out of the chamber.
In her room at the [White Tower], [Nynaeve|Nynaeve (Show)] packs her belongings. [Egwene|Egwene (Show)] enters, pleading with her to stay, but [Nynaeve|Nynaeve (Show)] insists she came to the [Tower|White Tower] for [Egwene|Egwene (Show)]’s sake, and now that [Egwene|Egwene (Show)] no longer needs her, she’ll honor the true meaning of an [Aes Sedai]—"servants of all"—elsewhere.
[Nynaeve|Nynaeve (Show)] rides away from the [White Tower], and [Lan|Lan (Show)] gallops up to join her. She explains she couldn’t remain at the [Tower|White Tower] and plans to return to the [Two Rivers]. [Lan|Lan (Show)] offers to accompany her, if she’ll have him. She questions his bond with %%blue [Moiraine|Moiraine (Show)]%%, but he doesn’t respond. Faintly, %%blue [Sheriam|Sheriam (Show)]%%’s voice echoes, "The way back will come but once," and an arch doorway appears. [Nynaeve|Nynaeve (Show)] ignores it, and the doorway vanishes.
! Scene 7 - She Made Her Choice
Within the [Three Arches] chamber at the [White Tower], the final arch closes, marking the end of [Nynaeve|Nynaeve (Show)]’s test. %%blue [Leane|Leane (Show)]%% declares that [Nynaeve|Nynaeve (Show)] has made her choice and exits the room. %%blue [Sheriam|Sheriam (Show)]%% concedes that %%green [Alanna|Alanna (Show)]%% was correct in her assessment. %%red [Liandrin|Liandrin (Show)]%% attempts to justify the events, but %%blue [Sheriam|Sheriam (Show)]%% retorts that [Nynaeve|Nynaeve (Show)]’s trust in them led to her death. %%blue [Sheriam|Sheriam (Show)]%% expresses hope that %%red [Liandrin|Liandrin (Show)]%% will carry eternal guilt, admitting she will as well, before departing. Alone, %%red [Liandrin|Liandrin (Show)]%% — still clutching the water vase intended for [Nynaeve|Nynaeve (Show)] — hurls it away in frustration toward the arch.
! Scene 9 - All Will Bow
In the center of [Atuan’s Mill|Atuans Mill], [Perrin|Perrin (Show)], [Ingtar|Ingtar (Show)], [Masema|Masema (Show)], [Uno|Uno (Show)], [Loial|Loial (Show)], the other Hunters of the [Horn of Valere|Horn], and the town’s residents are surrounded by [Seanchan|Seanchan (Country)] soldiers in insect-themed armor, gathered before a stepped palanquin. [Perrin|Perrin (Show)] questions their identity and purpose, but [Loial|Loial (Show)] admits he knows nothing of these invaders. The [Seanchan|Seanchan (Country)] leader, High Lady [Suroth|Suroth (Show)], adorned in a metallic mask covering most of her face, signals with her long, lacquered fingers. A young woman, [Miri|Miri (Show)], wearing a plain dress with a metallic mouthpiece and gorget, steps forward alongside another woman with a painted face and two guards. [Miri|Miri (Show)] moves through the crowd, searching, and points to a girl, whom the guards seize and remove.[1]
[Suroth|Suroth (Show)] gestures again, and [Alwhin|Alwhin (Show)], a third figure from the palanquin, addresses the captives. She declares them squatters on land stolen from the [Seanchan|Seanchan (Country)], which they now reclaim. As [Miri|Miri (Show)] selects two more girls to be taken away, [Alwhin|Alwhin (Show)] recounts how [Luthair Paendrag|Luthair Paendrag (Show)]’s fleet crossed the [Aryth Ocean], fulfilling the promised "return." [Uno|Uno (Show)] whispers to [Ingtar|Ingtar (Show)] that they must stop this, but [Ingtar|Ingtar (Show)] cautions they’re outnumbered and unarmed, though [Uno|Uno (Show)] reveals a hidden dagger. [Alwhin|Alwhin (Show)] proclaims that swearing oaths and bowing to High Lady [Suroth|Suroth (Show)] will absolve their forefathers’ debts.
[Uno|Uno (Show)] stares down one of the [Seanchan|Seanchan (Country)] soldiers. [Alwhin|Alwhin (Show)] asks who will be the first to swear the oaths. [Uno|Uno (Show)]'s guard volunteers him and two other [Seanchan|Seanchan (Country)] soldiers grab him and take him forward. [Uno|Uno (Show)] manages to stab them twice before they disarm him. [Alwhin|Alwhin (Show)] commands [Uno|Uno (Show)] to avert his eyes and kneel, but he refuses. [Alwhin|Alwhin (Show)] tells him to bend the knee and swear the oath, but again [Uno|Uno (Show)] refuses, spitting in her direction. High Lady [Suroth|Suroth (Show)] raises all four of her long nails, pauses, and then lowers them. The [Seanchan|Seanchan (Country)] guards force [Uno|Uno (Show)] to his knees at the base of the palanquin, where a sharp, curved, hornlike object is attached. [Alwhin|Alwhin (Show)] warns that those who do not swear the oaths will have the oaths sworn for them. All of the [Seanchan|Seanchan (Country)] soldiers, in unison, shout "To obey. To wait. To Serve." [Uno|Uno (Show)] still refuses to swear. High Lady [Suroth|Suroth (Show)] raises two fingers, pauses , and then lowers them. One of the [Seanchan|Seanchan (Country)] guards slams [Uno|Uno (Show)]'s mouth onto the horn, and then the second slams his foot on the back of [Uno|Uno (Show)]'s shoulders, forcing the horn through [Uno|Uno (Show)]'s head. With that, High Lady [Suroth|Suroth (Show)] slowly, precisely, says "All will bow." Everyone bows with the [Shienarans|Shienar] and [Perrin|Perrin (Show)] last, and while [Perrin|Perrin (Show)] bows to one knee, he stares at [Ishamael|Ishamael (Show)]. [Alwhin|Alwhin (Show)] then speaks the oath and everyone repeats it.
! Scene 10 - How Long Will It Take You
[Rand|Rand (Show)] enters the asylum garden, carrying [Logain|Logain (Show)]’s meal. [Logain|Logain (Show)] discerns that [Rand|Rand (Show)] conceals his true identity with dyed, shortened hair. When [Logain|Logain (Show)] inquires about [Yann|Yann (Show)], [Rand|Rand (Show)] reminds him that [Yann|Yann (Show)] suffered an accident and that he will now assume his care. [Logain|Logain (Show)] prods [Rand|Rand (Show)], asking how long it will take him to voice the question he truly intends, before revealing he remembers [Rand|Rand (Show)] from his [Tar Valon] parade, noting his glow as a male [channeler|One Power] was brighter than any he had witnessed. [Logain|Logain (Show)] recalls laughing then, foreseeing that [Rand|Rand (Show)] would shake the world. [Rand|Rand (Show)] finally sits beside [Logain|Logain (Show)] and asks how to control his [channeling|One Power]. [Logain|Logain (Show)] chuckles, demanding a bottle of [Ghealdanin|Ghealdan] red wine as a condition for sharing his knowledge, before walking away.
! Scene 11 - Hunt for the Horn
In the [Foregate|Cairhien (City)], [Rand al'Thor|Rand] observes a [gleeman] entertaining a crowd with a story about the [Hunt for the Horn]. As he moves through the area, he notices individuals being branded with an image of the [Horn of Valere|Horn]. Approaching [Selene|Selene (Show)], [Rand|Rand (Show)] inquires about the activity. She explains that people are gathering to become Hunters for the [Horn of Valere|Horn], a tradition called every few hundred years in [Illian|Illian (City)]. [Selene|Selene (Show)] describes the Horn as a legendary artifact capable of summoning an army of the dead, noting that the Queen of [Cairhien|Cairhien (Country)] has offered half her fortune to whoever retrieves it and returns it to [Cairhien|Cairhien (Country)].
[Rand|Rand (Show)] approaches a table laden with wine bottles, seeking a [Ghealdanin|Ghealdan] red for [Selene|Selene (Show)]. When she questions his choice, he replies that he thinks she enjoys a bit of mystery. [Selene|Selene (Show)] instructs the bartender to cover the first glass for each Hunter but to charge double for subsequent drinks bought for their companions. She and [Rand|Rand (Show)] then depart, with [Selene|Selene (Show)] suggesting they find him a better coat.
! Scene 12 - She Never Came Out
[Egwene|Egwene (Show)] and [Elayne|Elayne (Show)] walk through the [Tower|White Tower], with [Egwene|Egwene (Show)] complaining of a hangover as [Elayne|Elayne (Show)] teases her. [Egwene|Egwene (Show)] knocks on [Nynaeve|Nynaeve (Show)]'s door, and receiving no answer, enters the room. They find %%blue [Sheriam|Sheriam (Show)]%% packing [Nynaeve|Nynaeve (Show)]'s belongings. %%blue [Sheriam|Sheriam (Show)]%% admits this wasn’t how she intended [Egwene|Egwene (Show)] to learn the news, revealing that [Nynaeve|Nynaeve (Show)] entered the [Three Arches] but did not emerge.
[Egwene|Egwene (Show)] insists on retrieving [Nynaeve|Nynaeve (Show)], but [Elayne|Elayne (Show)] explains that’s not how the process works. %%blue [Sheriam|Sheriam (Show)]%% suggests [Egwene|Egwene (Show)]'s grief will ultimately strengthen her. %%blue [Sheriam|Sheriam (Show)]%% departs, and [Elayne|Elayne (Show)] attempts to comfort [Egwene|Egwene (Show)], who orders her to leave. [Elayne|Elayne (Show)] exits, and [Egwene|Egwene (Show)] shuts the door, collapsing in tears.
! Scene 13 - You Left Them
%%red [Liandrin|Liandrin (Show)]%% stands in [Mat|Mat (Show)]'s room as he sleeps. He wakes, startled by her presence, and attempts light banter, but she interrupts, speaking of losing a sister of great power and respect. She informs him his door is open and he’s free to leave, though [Mat|Mat (Show)] doubts her sincerity. %%red [Liandrin|Liandrin (Show)]%% mentions that [Egwene|Egwene (Show)] is in the [Tower|White Tower] and needs a friend, adding that she doesn’t care where [Mat|Mat (Show)] goes as their business is concluded. As she turns to leave, [Mat|Mat (Show)] protests, feeling dismissed without explanation after all this time. %%red [Liandrin|Liandrin (Show)]%% reveals a sister died today due to inadequate preparation, blaming her distraction with [Mat|Mat (Show)]. She admits she never saw what %%blue [Moiraine|Moiraine (Show)]%% saw in him, instead viewing him as a coward who feigns wit, wallows in self-pity, and blames his friends for abandoning him when he was the one who left them. She declares [Mat|Mat (Show)] no longer matters to her, and with that, she leaves.
! Scene 14 - It's the Ones Who Survive
%%red [Liandrin|Liandrin (Show)]%% walks out onto an open area high in the [Tower|White Tower]. She approaches an open furnace containing molten metal, recites a prayer for [Nynaeve|Nynaeve (Show)] in the [Old Tongue], and drops [Nynaeve|Nynaeve (Show)]'s ring into the furnace, where it melts completely away. [Egwene|Egwene (Show)] approaches soon after, accusing %%red [Liandrin|Liandrin (Show)]%% of wanting [Nynaeve|Nynaeve (Show)] dead. %%red [Liandrin|Liandrin (Show)]%% ignores the accusation and turns to leave, but [Egwene|Egwene (Show)] weaves fire to block her exit. %%red [Liandrin|Liandrin (Show)]%% extinguishes the flames and confronts [Egwene|Egwene (Show)], stating that [Nynaeve|Nynaeve (Show)] had power, but [Egwene|Egwene (Show)] was meant to be the wise one who knew her place. As [Egwene|Egwene (Show)] backs toward the ledge, %%red [Liandrin|Liandrin (Show)]%% reminds her of the [Aes Sedai] oaths, which prohibit lying, and admits she sent [Nynaeve|Nynaeve (Show)] to the [Three Arches] because she believed in her, yet [Nynaeve|Nynaeve (Show)] disappointed her. %%red [Liandrin|Liandrin (Show)]%% adds that history is often written not by the most powerful women, but by those who survive, and if [Egwene|Egwene (Show)] minds her place, she might endure. [Egwene|Egwene (Show)] retorts that %%red [Liandrin|Liandrin (Show)]%% has no idea what she’s capable of, then departs.
! Scene 15 - One Less Poor Mouth
[Selene|Selene (Show)] and [Rand|Rand (Show)] attend a noble’s party in [Cairhien|Cairhien (City)], surrounded by numerous nobles. [Rand|Rand (Show)] wears a red coat adorned with golden herons embroidered on the collar, shoulders, and sleeves, reminiscent of the cover art for [A Memory of Light]. [Selene|Selene (Show)] notes that the nobles are curious about them, mentioning that Lady [Dhulaine|Dhulaine (Show)] invited them to dinner next week. She adds that the nobles are playing [Daes Dae'mar|Compleat], seeking to use [Rand|Rand (Show)] in their schemes. [Rand|Rand (Show)] inquires about [Ghealdan] wine, prompting [Selene|Selene (Show)] to search for a bottle. In her absence, Lady [Anvaere|Anvaere (Show)] approaches [Rand|Rand (Show)], warning him against accepting Lady [Dhulaine|Dhulaine (Show)]’s invitation due to hidden motives. When [Anvaere|Anvaere (Show)] presses him for a decision, [Rand|Rand (Show)] tosses the invitation into a nearby fire. [Anvaere|Anvaere (Show)] observes [Rand|Rand (Show)], deducing he’s staying in the [Foregate|Cairhien (City)], and comments on the barbarity of celebrating while the poor starve, their only hope pinned on the [Hunt for the Horn]. [Rand|Rand (Show)] suggests the Queen’s reward makes the hunt worthwhile, but [Anvaere|Anvaere (Show)] reveals there is no reward, and the [Horn] may not even exist. She explains the Queen’s true motive: after the [Aiel War], refugees flooded the [Foregate|Cairhien (City)], causing overcrowding. Unable to expel them without risking revolt, the Queen uses the [Hunt for the Horn] to lure them away—those who die are simply one less mouth for the rich to feed.
[Selene|Selene (Show)] returns, and Lady [Anvaere|Anvaere (Show)] introduces herself, attempting to learn [Selene|Selene (Show)]’s identity. [Selene|Selene (Show)] declines to share her name and leads [Rand|Rand (Show)] away, presenting him with a bottle of [Ghealdanin|Ghealdan] red wine. [Rand|Rand (Show)] relays [Anvaere|Anvaere (Show)]’s explanation of the hunt, and [Selene|Selene (Show)] confirms that everything in [Cairhien] is part of a scheme, with no genuine reward. When [Rand|Rand (Show)] asks why [Selene|Selene (Show)] is helping him, she tells him not to ask questions he already knows the answer to. [Rand|Rand (Show)] decides to leave, taking the bottle of wine and departing without [Selene|Selene (Show)].
! Scene 16 - You Can't
[Rand] returns, panting, to [Logain] with a bottle of [Ghealdanin|Ghealdan] red wine. [Logain] tells [Rand] that suppressing the urge to [channel|One Power] won’t make it disappear, revealing that the desire to touch the [One Power] is unstoppable. As [Logain] fills his cup with wine until it overflows, he warns [Rand] that the urge will eventually spill out. [Rand] calls him mad, but [Logain] denies it, claiming the [Aes Sedai] use the idea of madness as a lie to harm men who can channel. [Rand] insists that [Logain] is not the [Dragon], but [Logain] counters, asserting that the blood of [Lews Therin|Lews Therin Telamon (Show)] flows through his own veins and that he can hear his whispers.
! Scene 17 - Not Now
[Mat|Mat (Show)] finds [Egwene|Egwene (Show)] crying alone in the [Tower|White Tower] garden. He approaches her, hesitates, then decides to leave and returns to his room. [Egwene|Egwene (Show)] looks up afterward, as if sensing someone’s presence.
! Scene 18 - The Door Is Open
[Mat|Mat (Show)] returns to his room, moves the chest of drawers blocking the hole between his and [Min|Min (Show)]’s room, and urges [Min|Min (Show)] to come over. She does, notices his open door, and remarks on it. [Min|Min (Show)] suggests they leave, but [Mat|Mat (Show)] hesitates, uncertain of where to go. [Min|Min (Show)] declares she won’t wait for him and exits the room. [Mat|Mat (Show)] follows shortly after.
! Scene 19 - Wolf Rescue
[Seanchan|Seanchan (Country)] soldiers escort a caravan of wagons with prisoners through a forest toward [Falme|Falme]. [Perrin|Perrin (Show)], shackled and half-asleep, awakens to see [Ishamael|Ishamael (Show)] on the opposite bench. [Perrin|Perrin (Show)] asks [Ishamael|Ishamael (Show)]’s identity, and [Ishamael|Ishamael (Show)] replies he stands between [Perrin|Perrin (Show)] and a spike, then explains the caravan’s purpose. [Ishamael|Ishamael (Show)] claims [Perrin|Perrin (Show)] is an honored guest of Lady [Suroth|Suroth (Show)], destined for a new life with the [Seanchan|Seanchan (People)].
[Ishamael|Ishamael (Show)] offers [Perrin|Perrin (Show)] water, which he initially refuses but eventually accepts. Wolves howl in the distance. [Ishamael|Ishamael (Show)] reveals he knows of [Perrin|Perrin (Show)]’s golden eyes and their significance. When [Perrin|Perrin (Show)] again questions his identity, [Ishamael|Ishamael (Show)] shows a vision of a figure with flaming eyes. [Perrin|Perrin (Show)], stunned, asserts that [Rand|Rand (Show)] killed him, prompting [Ishamael|Ishamael (Show)] to ask if %%blue [Moiraine|Moiraine (Show)]%% told him so. The wolves draw closer, and [Perrin|Perrin (Show)] hears fighting between them and the guards. A [suldam] and [damane] emerge from another wagon, killing wolves.
[Ishamael|Ishamael (Show)] tells [Perrin|Perrin (Show)] that the more wolf-like he becomes, the more he belongs to [Ishamael|Ishamael (Show)], and that he’ll be watching. [Ishamael|Ishamael (Show)] exits the wagon, closing the door. Moments later, [Elyas|Elyas (Show)] bursts through, unlocks [Perrin|Perrin (Show)]’s shackles, and they escape together. [Elyas|Elyas (Show)] points to a wolf, instructing [Perrin|Perrin (Show)] to follow it, which he does.
! Scene 20 - Setup
[Min|Min (Show)] prepares two horses for departure when [Mat|Mat (Show)] arrives, carrying a bag of food and asking if she stole them. [Min|Min (Show)] responds that she prefers "liberated" and asks [Mat|Mat (Show)] to hold the horses while she retrieves one more item. Instead, she meets %%red [Liandrin|Liandrin (Show)]%%, informing her that [Mat|Mat (Show)] is joining her, mostly at his suggestion. %%red [Liandrin|Liandrin (Show)]%% asks if [Min|Min (Show)] knows the way, and [Min|Min (Show)] confirms she does. %%red [Liandrin|Liandrin (Show)]%% reminds [Min|Min (Show)] that success will free them both from %%blue [Moiraine|Moiraine (Show)]'s%% control. [Min|Min (Show)] grabs some bread and returns to [Mat|Mat (Show)].
! Scene 21 - Let Go
[Selene|Selene (Show)] waits for [Rand|Rand (Show)] in his room as he arrives, still wearing his red coat. [Selene|Selene (Show)] warns that if he leaves her alone again, she will kill him. They engage in passionate lovemaking, during which she asks him to demonstrate the [One Power]. He does so, struggling to control it, and she urges him to go further and let go. [Rand|Rand (Show)] awakens later, still channeling, which ignites the roof. [Selene|Selene (Show)] opens the door, concerned for [Rand|Rand (Show)], and they flee the room, watching the inn burn from a distance.
! Scene 22 - Help Me Or Leave
[Egwene|Egwene (Show)] stands in the [Three Arches] room, attempting to open the arches without success. [Elayne|Elayne (Show)] enters and informs her she is not the first to attempt bringing people back, though none have succeeded, adding that it requires more than one [Aes Sedai]. [Egwene|Egwene (Show)] tells [Elayne|Elayne (Show)] to help or leave, but [Elayne|Elayne (Show)] refuses. [Egwene|Egwene (Show)] tries again, prompting [Elayne|Elayne (Show)] to warn that she risks injury, death, or expulsion by the sisters if caught. [Elayne|Elayne (Show)] recounts [Nynaeve|Nynaeve (Show)]’s journey to the [Tower|White Tower], noting that many believed she died but she survived, driven by concern for [Egwene|Egwene (Show)]. [Elayne|Elayne (Show)] asks if [Nynaeve|Nynaeve (Show)] would want [Egwene|Egwene (Show)] to jeopardize her future this way.
