After dinner, [Alanna] approaches [Lan] as he relieves himself against a tree near the Mosvani family hold in [Arafel]. [Lan] remarks that [Maksim] and [Ihvon] always check on him when he steps away, starting with a joke and sharing a warm memory to give him something to live for. [Alanna] interrupts, saying she’ll skip that approach, and notes that she doesn’t think [Lan] will kill himself because his bond with [Moiraine] was taken by her, not ripped away. She asks what he wants to do now, mentioning that she, [Maksim], and [Ihvon] are heading to the [White Tower] tomorrow, and invites him to join them. [Lan] says he doesn’t know. [Alanna] informs him that [Nynaeve] will go through the [Three Arches] tomorrow, the fastest anyone has done so since [Cadsuane], suggesting [Nynaeve] might soon need a [Warder]. [Lan] responds that he’s not looking to repeat his failures. [Alanna] wishes [Lan] had known [Moiraine] before she changed about twenty years ago, a year or two before their bonding[5].

A pack of wolves bounds down a forest path, followed by [Elyas], [Perrin], and another wolf. [Perrin] expresses concern that they haven’t seen signs of the caravan and need to find his friends, questioning if they’re going the right way, but [Elyas] assures him that wolves never get lost. When [Perrin] protests that [Elyas] is leading them, [Elyas] counters that he is one of the wolves, as is [Perrin], identifying them both as [Wolfbrothers|Wolf]. [Perrin] asks if all wolves are [Wolfbrothers|Wolf] and if he’ll turn into a wolf, but [Elyas] dismisses the idea as foolish. A vision of a deer floats through the trees, and [Elyas] explains it’s the wolves’ language—a scout found a buck and sent the vision to guide them, adding that [Perrin] will learn this instinctual communication. [Perrin] realizes the wolves informed [Elyas] about troops heading to [Falme], which is why [Elyas] slept outside town, and grows frustrated that [Elyas] didn’t help them escape, though [Elyas] points out that [Perrin] is free now due to their efforts.

At the well, they’ve already pulled out ten buckets, and [Lan] asks how much water they need for bread.

[Maksim] shares that he thought he was the only one who could go that long without a bond’s connection, recalling how miserable it was for everyone when [Alanna] first bonded him—he didn’t like the “audience,” and she didn’t like the “show.” They talked it through with [Ihvon], deciding to mask [Maksim]’s bond except during battle or in bed, an arrangement the [White Tower] is aware of. [Lan] asks if the [Tower] knows about this, and [Maksim] confirms they do. [Maksim] then asks [Lan] if he’s ever known a marriage to be exactly like another, offering himself as proof that [Lan] can go back to [Moiraine].

Moiraine then asks if he knows of a red-haired boy who was staying at the inn and his current whereabouts, but the gatekeeper shakes his head, offering no information[13]. Frustrated but undeterred, Moiraine continues into the city.

At the city gate, she approaches a gatekeeper, [Asan Sandair|Asan Sandair (Show)], and questions him about the [Crescent Inn] burning down. [Asan Sandair|Asan Sandair (Show)] claims to know nothing about the incident, remarking callously that it’s a shame more buildings didn’t burn. Moiraine then asks if he knows of a red-haired boy who was staying at the inn and his current whereabouts, but the gatekeeper shakes his head, offering no information[13]. Frustrated but undeterred, Moiraine continues into the city.

[Rand] and [Selene] stand on a scenic overlook near [Kinslayer's Dagger|Kinslayers Dagger], gazing at the rugged mountain landscape. [Rand] asks if her family built the cabin nearby, but [Selene] admits she was lying—she never came here as a child, though she did visit with a man, the one before [Rand]. [Rand] reminds her of their pact not to discuss their pasts, but [Selene] continues, revealing that the man was the first and only one she ever loved. She shares that they would escape here often, finding peace away from a world that pulled them in every direction. [Rand] reflects on his own upbringing in a similar remote place, where his friends dreamed of cities and travel, but he never did. He admits that up here, the world feels whole, not broken. [Selene] asks if he’d want to return to that life, but [Rand] replies that the [Wheel|Wheel of Time] never gives anyone what they want, least of all him. [Selene] counters that nothing and no one ever hands you what you want—if you want something, you have to take it.

[Ishamael|Ishamael (Show)] breaks a [seal] in a [Cairhien|Cairhien (Country)] cavern, chanting in the [Old Tongue] to release a crouching figure, later revealed as [Lanfear]. Meanwhile, [Rand|Rand (Show)] and [Selene|Selene (Show)] grow closer at [Kinslayer's Dagger|Kinslayers Dagger] after the [Crescent Inn] fire, which Selene blames on herself but Rand later admits he caused by [channel|One Power]ing. At a scenic overlook, they share personal reflections, deepening their bond. That night, Rand channels to defeat a [Fade], revealing his ability to Selene, who accepts him. Their intimacy is shattered when [Moiraine|Moiraine (Show)] intervenes, identifying Selene as Lanfear, Daughter of the Night, and forcing Rand to flee as Lanfear survives, her eyes showing [saa].
! Moiraine, Lan, Alanna, Ihvon, and Maksim
[Moiraine|Moiraine (Show)] arrives in [Cairhien|Cairhien (City)], seeking [Rand|Rand (Show)] while navigating a tense reunion with her sister [Anvaere|Anvaere (Show)] at the Damodred house. She investigates the [Crescent Inn] fire and visits [Logain|Logain (Show)] at an asylum, learning Rand’s location. Meanwhile, at the Mosvani hold in [Arafel], [Lan|Lan (Show)] struggles with Moiraine masking their bond for six months, confiding in %%green [Alanna|Alanna (Show)]%%, [Ihvon|Ihvon (Show)], and [Maksim|Maksim (Show)]. Alanna invites Lan to the [White Tower], but he’s uncertain. The group discovers a prophecy in Lan’s pouch, written in the [Old Tongue], revealing [Lanfear]’s broken [seal]—a discovery that intercuts with Moiraine’s confrontation with Lanfear, highlighting her critical role in protecting Rand.
! Egwene, Nynaeve, Elayne, and Liandrin
At the [White Tower], [Nynaeve|Nynaeve (Show)] grapples with her [Three Arches] experience, where she lost a daughter, finding solace in [Egwene|Egwene (Show)]’s friendship despite her own struggles. Egwene, feeling diminished, confides in [Elayne|Elayne (Show)] about Nynaeve’s changes. Nynaeve learns from %%red [Liandrin|Liandrin (Show)]%% that [Perrin|Perrin (Show)] and [Loial|Loial (Show)] were captured on the west coast, prompting her to plan a rescue in [Falme]. Egwene insists on joining, despite the risk of expulsion as a novice, and Elayne follows. Liandrin, revealing her [Darkfriend] ties, betrays them by knocking them out with [Air] in the Tower’s caverns, forcing their journey to Falme and setting a dangerous path ahead.
! Liandrin and Leane
%%red [Liandrin|Liandrin (Show)]%% confronts %%blue [Leane|Leane (Show)]%% at the [White Tower], accusing her of inaction against the [Seanchan] attack on the western shore, which led to [Perrin|Perrin (Show)] and [Loial|Loial (Show)]’s capture. Leane, as [Keeper of the Chronicles|Aes Sedai], asserts her authority in the [Amyrlin]’s absence, refusing to share the latest report. Liandrin questions Leane’s loyalty to %%amyrlin [Siuan|Siuan (Show)]%%, warning that if the Amyrlin falls, Leane will fall with her. This exchange highlights the Tower’s political tensions, foreshadowing Liandrin’s betrayal of [Nynaeve|Nynaeve (Show)], [Egwene|Egwene (Show)], and [Elayne|Elayne (Show)], driven by her frustration with the Tower’s leadership.
! Perrin and Elyas
[Perrin|Perrin (Show)] travels with [Elyas|Elyas (Show)] and a wolf pack, learning he’s a [Wolfbrother|Wolf] as Elyas explains their instinctual communication through visions, like a deer guiding them to food. They name a wolf [Hopper|Hopper (Show)], who mourns its mate, mirroring Perrin’s grief over [Laila|Laila (Show)], his wife he accidentally killed. Elyas reveals the wolves have watched Perrin since saving him and [Egwene|Egwene (Show)] from [Whitecloaks], and they sense his pain in dreams. Frustrated by Elyas’s reluctance to help against troops heading to [Falme], Perrin still finds freedom through the wolves, strengthening his resolve to find his captured friends, [Loial|Loial (Show)] and others.
! Min and Mat
[Min|Min (Show)] plays dice with [Mat|Mat (Show)] at an inn, winning enough to secure an attic room where she expects a meeting. In [Tel’aran’rhiod|TelAranRhiod], [Ishamael|Ishamael (Show)] confronts her, immune to her visions of death, offering to remove her “curse” if she takes Mat to [Cairhien|Cairhien (City)]. Min resists, unwilling to harm Mat, but Ishamael manipulates her, revealing %%red [Liandrin|Liandrin (Show)]%%’s promise to end her visions was a lie tied to the [Darkfriend|Dark]. This confirms Liandrin’s Darkfriend status, aligning with her betrayal of [Nynaeve|Nynaeve (Show)] and [Egwene|Egwene (Show)]. Min reluctantly agrees to Ishamael’s deal, setting her on a path that will intersect with [Rand|Rand (Show)] in Cairhien.
! Moiraine and Anvaere
[Moiraine|Moiraine (Show)]’s return to [Cairhien|Cairhien (City)] strains her relationship with her sister [Anvaere|Anvaere (Show)], who resents her decades-long absence since their family’s ruin. Anvaere, having rebuilt House Damodred’s status—highlighted by her son’s betrothal to the queen—demands Moiraine’s respect, refusing to share information about [Rand|Rand (Show)] without a proper request over tea. Their clash reveals Anvaere’s political influence, as she now controls Moiraine’s former allies, complicating Moiraine’s mission. This family tension underscores Moiraine’s isolation and the broader political stakes in Cairhien, which may impact her efforts to protect Rand from the growing threat of the [Forsaken].
