! Scene 2 - What Is it?

%%blue [Sheriam|Sheriam (Show)]%%, %%blue [Leane|Leane (Show)]%%, %%red [Liandrin|Liandrin (Show)]%% and [Nynaeve|Nynaeve (Show)] are in the room with the [Three Arches].
The others explain to [Nynaeve|Nynaeve (Show)] that this is a [ter'angreal|Angreal].
They explain that [ter'angreals|Angreal] do many things and that they're from before the [Breaking].
They hint that these things can't be made anymore.
Many [Aes Sedai] have been killed or burned trying to determine what they do.
%%blue [Leane|Leane (Show)]%% reassures [Nynaeve|Nynaeve (Show)] that the [Aes Sedai] know what this one does, which is to bring a novice face-to-face with their greatest fears,
but no novice needs to tell anyone what they experience in the arches.
To put it simply, novices just need to walk into each arch and then back out again.
They then tells [Nynaeve|Nynaeve (Show)] two things that no novice hears until they're in this room:

# 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 give her one last chance to refuse to go through the arches. Each woman gets a total of three attempts but after that they will be put out of the [Tower|White Tower]. %%blue [Leane|Leane (Show)]%% admits that she could not do it the first time.
[Nynaeve|Nynaeve (Show)] says that she's ready and %%blue [Sheriam|Sheriam (Show)]%% tells her to remove her dress so that she's only clad in her shift.
She's not allowed to bring anything in with her and she won't be allowed to [channel|One Power].
%%blue [Sheriam|Sheriam (Show)]%%, %%blue [Leane|Leane (Show)]%%, %%red [Liandrin|Liandrin (Show)]%% weave to open the arches.
%%blue [Sheriam|Sheriam (Show)]%% warns that "the way back will come but once."

[Nynaeve|Nynaeve (Show)] enters the first arch.

! Scene 3 - What Was

[Nynaeve|Nynaeve (Show)] goes back to her childhood. Her father, [Beerien|Beerien (Show)], is there and asks what she has in her hand, which is crimsonthorn root. He takes her to a nearby stream to rise her hands. Bandits with bows appear and they start shooting at [Nynaeve|Nynaeve (Show)] and [Beerien|Beerien (Show)]. They run away and the bandits chase after them. [Nynaeve|Nynaeve (Show)]'s mother, [Elnore|Elnore (Show)], appears, armed with a bow, and starts shooting the bandits. This gives the al'Meara's enough time to run away while the rest of the bandits give chase. The al'Meara's manage to get back to their house, lock the door and hide [Nynaeve|Nynaeve (Show)] in the cellar. [Beerien|Beerien (Show)] tells [Nynaeve|Nynaeve (Show)] to be brave and quiet. He says, in [Old Tongue], "We shall go into the old land so our children can always hold us and will never be alone."[1] The bandits start breaking in, so [Beerien|Beerien (Show)] goes upstairs, closes the cellar door, and helps [Elnore|Elnore (Show)] fight the bandits. [Nynaeve|Nynaeve (Show)] grabs a meat cleaver when %%blue [Sheriam|Sheriam (Show)]%%'s voice is heard saying "the way back will come but once" and an arch doorway appears. After a moment's hesitation, [Nynaeve|Nynaeve (Show)] goes through and ends up back in the [Three Arches] room. %%red [Liandrin|Liandrin (Show)]%% pours water on her, as a symbolic gesture of cleansing her. %%blue [Leane|Leane (Show)]%% heals her. [Nynaeve|Nynaeve (Show)] asks if it was real but %%blue [Sheriam|Sheriam (Show)]%% says that no one knows.

The [Three Arches] open again, and again %%blue [Sheriam|Sheriam (Show)]%% warns that "the way back will come but once." [Nynaeve|Nynaeve (Show)] enters the next arch.

! Scene 4 - What Is

[Nynaeve|Nynaeve (Show)] wakes up on a bed in the [Two Rivers]. She's in a room (in the [Winespring Inn]?) with many beds holding sick people. [Tam|Tam (Show)] is in the bed next to her and he explains how a fever spread through the community after she left. She opens his shirt to find fever blisters on his chest and then she sees crimsonthorn root on a table nearby. [Tam|Tam (Show)] tells her that the new Wisdom, [Natti|Natti (Show)], gave them to him. She approaches [Natti|Natti (Show)] and [Natti|Natti (Show)] says she's giving [Tam|Tam (Show)] and the others the root because it's a painless death. [Nynaeve|Nynaeve (Show)] says that [Aes Sedai] can health this, but [Natti|Natti (Show)] says that they've asked for help months ago but got no response. [Natti|Natti (Show)] accuses [Nynaeve|Nynaeve (Show)] of abandoning them and that the [Two Rivers] is no longer her home.

[Nynaeve|Nynaeve (Show)] goes back to [Tam|Tam (Show)], telling him that he's going to be fine, but he knows the truth and asks her stay with him until the herbs "have done their work." %%blue [Sheriam|Sheriam (Show)]'s%% voice is heard saying "the way back will come but once" and an arch doorway appears. Despite [Tam|Tam (Show)] asking [Nynaeve|Nynaeve (Show)]  to stay, [Nynaeve|Nynaeve (Show)] goes through and ends up back in the [Three Arches] room.  %%red [Liandrin|Liandrin (Show)]%% again pours water on her. [Nynaeve|Nynaeve (Show)] pleads with them to go to the [Two Rivers] because of the plague, but [Liandrin|Liandrin (Show)] reminds her that she must continue going through the arches.

The [Three Arches] open again, and again %%blue [Sheriam|Sheriam (Show)]%% warns that "the way back will come but once." [Nynaeve|Nynaeve (Show)] enters the next arch.

! Scene 5 - What Might Be

It's a scene of madness. Screaming voices, images of [Nynaeve] floating around in space wearing a red dress, with hands over her ears, visions of [Lan] speaking the words from scene 8 of [Episode 108] and then [Nynaeve] being flung out of the arches with two bloodstains on her shirt. [Nynaeve] says she doesn't remember what happened. %%blue [Sheriam|Sheriam (Show)]%% pours water on her. %%blue [Leane|Leane (Show)]%% checks [Nynaeve] over and  declares that the blood is not hers.[Nynaeve] opens her hand to discover that she's holding on to [Lan]'s [hadori]. %%blue [Sheriam|Sheriam (Show)]%%  announces that [Nynaeve] is now [Accepted] and gives her an [Aes Sedai] ring, without the stone in it, but [Nynaeve] rejects it, saying that if the point of the tests is to trust the [Tower] over everything else, then she rejects it. As [Nynaeve] leaves the room, %%red [Liandrin|Liandrin (Show)]%% warns her that if she leaves, then she will never be allowed to return. [Nynaeve] continues on out.

Back in [Nynaeve]'s room, she's packing her things. [Egwene] comes in asking her not to go, but [Nynaeve] tells her that she came to the [Tower] for [Egwene], but she doesn't need [Nynaeve] anymore and will live up to the true meaning of an [Aes Sedai] ("servants of all").

[Nynaeve] rides away from the [Tower] and [Lan] gallops up to meet her. She tells him that she couldn't stay in the [Tower] and is going to return to the [Two Rivers] and he says that he could join her, if she would have him. She asks about [Moiraine] and the bond, but he doesn't respond. %%blue [Sheriam|Sheriam (Show)]'s%% voice is faintly heard saying "the way back will come but once" and an arch doorway appears. [Nynaeve] ignores it and it goes away.

! Scene 6 - She Made Her Choice

In the [Three Arches] room, the last arch has closed and %%blue [Leane|Leane (Show)]%% says that [Nynaeve] has made her choice and leaves the room. 
%%blue [Sheriam|Sheriam (Show)]%% admits that [Alanna] was right. %%red [Liandrin|Liandrin (Show)]%% tries to defend what happened, but [Sheriam] says that [Nynaeve] trusted all of them, and that got her killed. [Sheriam] hopes that [Liandrin] will feel guilty forever and says that she herself will. She then leaves the room. Once she leaves, [Liandrin], still holding the vase of water meant for [Nynaeve], throws it away out of frustration.
