Tar Valon#

  • Egwene, dressed in novice white, is cleaning Siuan's room and takes a long look at Siuan's Amyrlin dress. Next, she is walking along a outer walkway on the Tower when Leane wordlessly drops a cup into Egwene's bucket and keeps walking. Later, while cleaning a plate, Egwene sees Alanna being intimate with her two Warders, Maksim and Ihvon. Egwene gets embarrassed and quickly leaves, but not before Alanna sees her. Later, Egwene passes by the training grounds, where men are practicing their swordwork and women are watching them. She stops momentarily to watch them. She eventually ends up in the kitchen. (Episode 201)
  • Egwene and Nynaeve talk for a bit about being a novice before Alanna enters the kitchen. The novices automatically start removing the buckets from the tabletop and putting them under the table, but Alanna tells Egwene to leave her bucket. She starts a lesson on channeling, talking about the five threads of the One Power. Alanna takes several glasses, dunks them in the dirty bucket water and puts them on the table. She shows the novices how to clean the water with the One Power and then drinks the water in her glass. No novice is allowed to leave until they drink the water from their glass. Egwene is not using her hands to do the weaves. Egwene leaves after Nynaeve gets frustrated and Alanna motions for the other novices to leave. (Episode 201)
  • Egwene knocks on Alanna's door and Alanna invites her in. Egwene starts talking about her problems with weaving with multiple threads but Alanna responds by talking how she got used to multiple partners. After the awkward confusion is cleared up, Alanna gives her advice on weaving, Egwene thanks her, and leaves. (Episode 201)
  • Egwene is in her room making a Bel Tine lantern when Nynaeve enters with a letter from Perrin. Egwene reminds her that it's Bel Tine and Nynaeve can't believe she forgot. (Episode 201)
  • Egwene is crying because she misses Rand so much. (Episode 201)
  • In the Tower kitchen, Egwene enters with a bucket of dishes, asking a novice about Nynaeve’s whereabouts, learning Liandrin took her (Scene 9 - Episode 202)
  • Approaching her room, Egwene sees activity next door with Elayne’s furniture blocking her door. Picking up pillows, she meets Elayne, setting them down but asking her to stop blocking, then sharing an amused introduction after Elayne reveals her Daughter-Heir status. Elayne talks about famous novice pairings, mentioning Cadsuane Melaidhrin and Elena Katab, and wonders about their own future together (Scene 12 - Episode 202)
  • Egwene tours the Tower with Elayne, explaining novice rules, when Farina acknowledges Elayne as "Daughter-Heir," and Elayne responds "Farina Sedai." Egwene stops the tour, realizing Elayne likely already knew all this, but Elayne explains she didn’t want to miss the chance to get to know Egwene better, revealing that as her reason for agreeing to the tour. Later, Sheriam questions the furniture’s source, and Elayne refuses to name the woman, accepting punishment of three months in Sheriam’s office before breakfast (Scene 19 - Episode 202)
  • In Elayne’s room, Egwene sees a fermented drink made with Air, listens as Elayne mentions tinkering, then vents frustration about Nynaeve having it easy and being unsupportive, prompting Nynaeve’s hurt departure. Elayne advises Egwene against jealousy, which Egwene denies (Scene 25 - Episode 202)
