Chronology (Possible Spoilers)#
Tar Valon#
- Elayne moves into a room adjacent to Egwene’s, with furniture and pillows blocking Egwene’s door. A servant in deep red passes as Elayne asks Egwene to set down pillows, then requests to see Egwene’s room for design ideas. Mistaking Egwene’s tenure, she notes the Two Rivers stitching, smiles about living with novices despite being Daughter-Heir of Andor, and hesitantly calls Egwene her subject, prompting an amused smile and introduction (Scene 12 - Episode 202)
- Elayne tours the Tower with Egwene, explaining novice rules, when Farina acknowledges her as "Daughter-Heir," and she 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 her room, Elayne shares a fermented drink crafted with Air with Egwene, who remarks that it’s strong, mentioning tinkering due to limited friendships as Daughter-Heir. As talk turns to Nynaeve, Nynaeve overhears Egwene’s complaints and leaves hurt, and Elayne advises Egwene against jealousy, citing her Daughter-Heir insight (Scene 25 - Episode 202)
- Elayne walks through the Tower with Egwene, teasing her about a hangover, then enters Nynaeve’s room, where Sheriam reveals Nynaeve did not emerge from the Three Arches, before attempting to comfort Egwene and leaving at her request. (Scene 12 - Episode 203)
Three Arches#
- Elayne enters the Three Arches chamber, informing Egwene that opening the arches requires more than one Aes Sedai, refusing to help, warning of the risks, and offering to fetch blankets for the night after recounting Nynaeve’s journey to the Tower. (Scene 22 - Episode 203)
- Elayne sleeps in the Three Arches chamber with Egwene, awakening to comfort Nynaeve as she emerges from the arch, screaming and crying. (Scene 23 - Episode 203)
Tar Valon#
- Elayne mops floors with Egwene, attributes Nynaeve’s change to her new status as an Accepted, and advises Egwene to stop trying to help Nynaeve, noting she doesn’t know what Nynaeve experienced in the Three Arches and questioning why Egwene feels responsible for fixing it. (Scene 12 - Episode 204)
- Elayne shares a drink with Egwene in her room when Nynaeve asks for a private moment with Egwene; Elayne leaves but follows them as they escape through caverns beneath the White Tower, where Liandrin calls her a complication and weaves Air to knock her, Egwene, and Nynaeve unconscious against a wall. (Scene 25 - Episode 204)
