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

[Logain|Logain (Show)] recognizes %%blue [Moiraine|Moiraine (Show)]%%, saying he should kill her, then assumes she wanted him here instead of the [White Tower]. %%blue [Moiraine|Moiraine (Show)]%% pours two glasses of [Ghealdanin|Ghealdan] red wine[6] and asks if [Logain|Logain (Show)] has started training [Rand|Rand (Show)], but he assumes she sent [Rand|Rand (Show)] and refuses to answer, knocking a glass from her hand. She offers [Logain|Logain (Show)] a knife[7], promising it if he helps her, and asks where [Rand|Rand (Show)] is staying; this time, [Logain|Logain (Show)] reveals [Rand|Rand (Show)] is staying at the [Crescent Inn] and has as much power as he did but fears and cannot control it. %%blue [Moiraine|Moiraine (Show)]%% instructs [Logain|Logain (Show)] to teach [Rand|Rand (Show)] everything about [channel|One Power]ing, promising the knife once she’s satisfied with [Rand|Rand (Show)]’s progress, then leaves.

[Elayne|Elayne (Show)] advises [Egwene|Egwene (Show)] to stop trying, noting she doesn’t know what [Nynaeve|Nynaeve (Show)] experienced in the [Three Arches] and questioning why [Egwene|Egwene (Show)] feels responsible for fixing it. [Egwene|Egwene (Show)] shares that [Nynaeve|Nynaeve (Show)] supported her through the loss of someone she loves ([Rand|Rand (Show)])[8], despite her own pain, and she wants to offer the same support, feeling she’s diminishing since arriving at the [White Tower].

In the background, %%red [Liandrin|Liandrin (Show)]%% pauses to observe. The young Warder explains that [Maksim|Maksim (Show)] and [Ihvon|Ihvon (Show)] are away with %%green [Alanna|Alanna (Show)]%% but offers to train [Nynaeve|Nynaeve (Show)]; she declines and starts to leave. He asks if she truly [channeled|One Power] in the [Three Arches], expressing surprise that all the [Ajahs] aren’t following her around, and hopes she won’t choose the [Red Ajah], but [Nynaeve|Nynaeve (Show)] departs without responding. %%red [Liandrin|Liandrin (Show)]%%, about to leave, receives a note from another [Red Ajah] sister and reads it.

When [Perrin|Perrin (Show)] protests that [Elyas|Elyas (Show)] is leading them, [Elyas|Elyas (Show)] counters that he is one of the wolves, as is [Perrin|Perrin (Show)], identifying them both as [Wolfbrothers|Wolf]. [Perrin|Perrin (Show)] asks if all wolves are [Wolfbrothers|Wolf] and if he’ll turn into a wolf, but [Elyas|Elyas (Show)] dismisses the idea as foolish. A vision of a deer floats through the trees, and [Elyas|Elyas (Show)] explains it’s the wolves’ language—a scout found a buck and sent the vision to guide them, adding that [Perrin|Perrin (Show)] will learn this instinctual communication. [Perrin|Perrin (Show)] realizes the wolves informed [Elyas|Elyas (Show)] about troops heading to [Falme], which is why [Elyas|Elyas (Show)] slept outside town, and grows frustrated that [Elyas|Elyas (Show)] didn’t help them escape, though [Elyas|Elyas (Show)] points out that [Perrin|Perrin (Show)] is free now due to their efforts.

! Scene 16 - Hopper (Start: 0:21:50)

The wolves, having killed the deer, feast on it alongside [Elyas|Elyas (Show)], who eats the meat raw, while [Perrin|Perrin (Show)] cooks his share and sits with [Elyas|Elyas (Show)] and the wolf that ran with them. [Elyas|Elyas (Show)] remarks that the wolf likes [Perrin|Perrin (Show)], and when [Perrin|Perrin (Show)] asks its name, [Elyas|Elyas (Show)] says the wolf will reveal it when ready. [Elyas|Elyas (Show)] reveals that the wolves have been watching [Perrin|Perrin (Show)] for a while, noting they saved him and “that girl” ([Egwene|Egwene (Show)]) from the [Whitecloaks][10], and that [Perrin|Perrin (Show)] has been sending messages to them for months. He adds that the wolf beside them lost its mate months ago and still mourns her, sharing that they see [Laila|Laila (Show)][11] in [Perrin|Perrin (Show)]’s dreams. [Perrin|Perrin (Show)] questions why the wolves didn’t approach him sooner, and [Elyas|Elyas (Show)] explains their distrust of [Aes Sedai]. The wolf sends a vision of itself hopping, and [Perrin|Perrin (Show)] realizes its name is [Hopper|Hopper (Show)].

! Scene 17 - Masked For The Last Six Months (Start: 0:24:14)

Back at the Mosvani family hold in [Arafel], [Lan|Lan (Show)] is in his room, reading %%blue [Moiraine|Moiraine (Show)]%%’s poem[14]. He finishes and tucks it back into a pouch just as [Maksim|Maksim (Show)] enters, asking [Lan|Lan (Show)] to help with fetching water.

At the well, they’ve already pulled out ten buckets, and [Lan|Lan (Show)] asks how much water they need for bread. [Maksim|Maksim (Show)] compliments [Lan|Lan (Show)], noting he’s doing well, and hints that the first few weeks after a bond breaks are the toughest. [Lan|Lan (Show)] counters that he’s had practice, as %%blue [Moiraine|Moiraine (Show)]%% has kept their bond masked for the last six months or so[12]. [Maksim|Maksim (Show)] 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 %%green [Alanna|Alanna (Show)]%% first bonded him—he didn’t like the “audience,” and she didn’t like the “show.” They talked it through with [Ihvon|Ihvon (Show)], deciding to mask [Maksim|Maksim (Show)]’s bond except during battle or in bed, an arrangement the [White Tower] is aware of. [Lan|Lan (Show)] asks if the [Tower|White Tower] knows about this, and [Maksim|Maksim (Show)] confirms they do. [Maksim|Maksim (Show)] then asks [Lan|Lan (Show)] if he’s ever known a marriage to be exactly like another, offering himself as proof that [Lan|Lan (Show)] can go back to %%blue [Moiraine|Moiraine (Show)]%%.

[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].

[Rand|Rand (Show)] asks if her family built the cabin nearby, but [Selene|Selene (Show)] admits she was lying—she never came here as a child, though she did visit with a man, the one before [Rand|Rand (Show)]. [Rand|Rand (Show)] reminds her of their pact not to discuss their pasts, but [Selene|Selene (Show)] 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|Rand (Show)] 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|Selene (Show)] asks if he’d want to return to that life, but [Rand|Rand (Show)] replies that the [Wheel|Wheel of Time] never gives anyone what they want, least of all him. [Selene|Selene (Show)] counters that nothing and no one ever hands you what you want—if you want something, you have to take it.

[Mat|Mat (Show)] and [Min|Min (Show)] are playing dice in a bustling inn, the air filled with the clatter of cups and laughter. [Mat|Mat (Show)] loses the next roll and, with a grin, calls to the bartender for another drink. [Min|Min (Show)], holding a small pile of coins she’s won, teases him about how he’ll pay for it since she has all his money. [Mat|Mat (Show)] retorts confidently that she can’t win all night. He suggests [Min|Min (Show)] get them a room since she’s “rolling in the money,” and she agrees to buy another round of drinks and secure two rooms. [Min|Min (Show)] heads to the bar, tossing down coins for [Mat|Mat (Show)]’s drinks and a room—specifically requesting the attic. She mentions there should be someone waiting for her there and asks the bartender if they’ve arrived. The bartender shakes their head, saying no, and asks who she’s meeting. [Min|Min (Show)] admits she isn’t entirely sure but instructs the bartender to send them up when they get there.

! Scene 21 - My Daughter, My Son (Start: 0:31:22)

%%red [Liandrin|Liandrin (Show)]%% passes the [Three Arches] room in the [White Tower], sees [Nynaeve|Nynaeve (Show)] inside, and enters. She mentions most [Aes Sedai] avoid the room after their tests. [Nynaeve|Nynaeve (Show)] asks if the experience was real; %%red [Liandrin|Liandrin (Show)]%% says the pain was real but fades. [Nynaeve|Nynaeve (Show)] reveals she lost a daughter inside, and %%red [Liandrin|Liandrin (Show)]%% expresses sorrow. %%red [Liandrin|Liandrin (Show)]%% shares she hid her son for 80 or 90 years to protect him, admitting she kept him close despite safer options. She explains [Aes Sedai] are cursed to watch loved ones age and die, advising [Nynaeve|Nynaeve (Show)] to hold onto a piece of the world and replace it when lost.

%%red [Liandrin|Liandrin (Show)]%% confides that [Shienaran|Shienar] soldiers, [Perrin|Perrin (Show)], and [Loial|Loial (Show)] were captured on the west coast[14], asking [Nynaeve|Nynaeve (Show)] not to act rashly.

[Maksim|Maksim (Show)], [Ihvon|Ihvon (Show)], and [Lan|Lan (Show)] are meditating at the Mosvani family hold in [Arafel], sitting in a quiet circle under the night sky. [Maksim|Maksim (Show)] looks visibly impatient, shifting restlessly, and after a short while, he gives up, stands, puts on his shoes, and leaves. [Lan|Lan (Show)] remarks dryly that [Maksim|Maksim (Show)] lasted ten minutes this time. [Ihvon|Ihvon (Show)], still calm, reflects that people often misunderstand the quiet ones—they’re quiet because the conversation is always playing out in their own heads. [Lan|Lan (Show)] opens up, sharing that %%blue [Moiraine|Moiraine (Show)]%% once told him she never considered him an equal[15]. [Ihvon|Ihvon (Show)] responds that of course they aren’t equals, nor are they meant to be, explaining that [Aes Sedai] wield immense power, and the world sees their strengths, but [Warders] see their weaknesses and remind them they are not gods. [Lan|Lan (Show)] jokes that he didn’t think %%green [Alanna|Alanna (Show)]%% needed such a reminder, to which [Ihvon|Ihvon (Show)] replies that she knows they all share the same goal: the triumph of the Light over the Dark—and dessert after. [Ihvon|Ihvon (Show)] then asks [Lan|Lan (Show)] what %%blue [Moiraine|Moiraine (Show)]%% truly wants, and [Lan|Lan (Show)] admits that might be the problem—he doesn’t think he knows anymore.

[Anvaere|Anvaere (Show)] insists they talk, recalling their family’s ruin after their uncle’s actions[17] and %%blue [Moiraine|Moiraine (Show)]%%’s departure. She describes rebuilding House Damodred’s status, including her son’s betrothal to the queen, and claims %%blue [Moiraine|Moiraine (Show)]%%’s former allies now report to her. %%blue [Moiraine|Moiraine (Show)]%% praises [Anvaere|Anvaere (Show)]’s success, but [Anvaere|Anvaere (Show)] rejects her approval and demands %%blue [Moiraine|Moiraine (Show)]%% ask politely over tea for information about the red-haired boy[18].

[Egwene|Egwene (Show)] points out [Falme]’s distance, and [Nynaeve|Nynaeve (Show)] warns that as an [Accepted], she can leave, but [Egwene|Egwene (Show)], a novice, risks expulsion if caught. [Egwene|Egwene (Show)] insists on joining because her friends are in danger, explaining she’s training at the [White Tower] to avoid feeling helpless in such situations. [Nynaeve|Nynaeve (Show)] leads her through caverns beneath the [White Tower] to escape, but they notice [Elayne|Elayne (Show)] has followed them. %%red [Liandrin|Liandrin (Show)]%% approaches, and [Nynaeve|Nynaeve (Show)] takes responsibility for the group. %%red [Liandrin|Liandrin (Show)]%% calls [Elayne|Elayne (Show)] a complication, then weaves [Air] to knock all three against a wall, rendering them unconscious[19].

[Min|Min (Show)] is asleep in her attic room at the inn when her consciousness shifts into [Tel’aran’rhiod|TelAranRhiod], where she finds herself in her childhood home.

The voices around her grow loud, then fall silent.

[Ishamael|Ishamael (Show)] speaks, telling her to open her eyes and asking what she sees. [Min|Min (Show)] looks at him and realizes she sees no visions around him—her curse doesn’t affect him. [Ishamael|Ishamael (Show)] comments that it must be a relief to see nothing, to no longer feel like a carnival attraction. [Min|Min (Show)] asks his name, and he says he has many in this [Age|Wheel of Time]: Father of Lies, Betrayer of Hope, [Forsaken]. [Min|Min (Show)] starts to object, saying, “%%red [Liandrin|Liandrin (Show)]%% didn’t tell…” but [Ishamael|Ishamael (Show)] interrupts, noting that %%red [Liandrin|Liandrin (Show)]%% promised to take away her visions[20]. He asks if she really thinks an [Aes Sedai] could do that, adding that for some things, the Dark is the only place to turn. [Min|Min (Show)] says the deal is off and tries to stand, but [Ishamael|Ishamael (Show)] gestures, forcing her back into the chair. She insists she won’t help him hurt anyone, but [Ishamael|Ishamael (Show)] says she will. She firmly states she won’t help him hurt [Mat|Mat (Show)]. [Ishamael|Ishamael (Show)] replies that she might, explaining that she came here for instructions on where to take [Mat|Mat (Show)] next. He offers to remove her curse, but only if she brings [Mat|Mat (Show)] to [Cairhien|Cairhien (City)].

[Selene|Selene (Show)] steps away from [Rand|Rand (Show)], asking what he just did. [Rand|Rand (Show)] starts to apologize, but [Selene|Selene (Show)] asks if he just [channel|One Power]ed. She then asks about the fire at her inn, and [Rand|Rand (Show)] admits it was an accident[21]. He insists that he hasn’t gone mad. [Selene|Selene (Show)] looks shocked. [Rand|Rand (Show)] says he understands her reaction, thanks her for everything, and begins to walk away. [Selene|Selene (Show)] asks where he’ll go, and [Rand|Rand (Show)] replies that when men go mad, they kill the people they love first, so he’ll go as far away as he can. [Selene|Selene (Show)] pauses, realizing [Rand|Rand (Show)] just admitted he loves her, and asks why he didn’t tell her he could [channel|One Power]. [Rand|Rand (Show)] says he didn’t want her to see him as a monster. [Selene|Selene (Show)] approaches him and says he’s not a monster, explaining that what he did is part of his nature and he shouldn’t hide it. She admits she once hid her true self, being what someone wanted to see, but that man looked deeper and saw who she really was. She tells [Rand|Rand (Show)] he needs to give someone the chance to love all of him. [Rand|Rand (Show)] says he doesn’t know how much time he has before he goes mad, and [Selene|Selene (Show)] replies that it’s the same for everyone: never enough. She takes his hand, and they walk toward the cabin together.

! Scene 28 - Daughter of the Night (Start: 0:52:13)

%%green [Alanna|Alanna (Show)]%%, [Ihvon|Ihvon (Show)], and [Maksim|Maksim (Show)] wait until [Lan|Lan (Show)] is asleep and gather outside to talk in hushed tones. They discuss a poem %%green [Alanna|Alanna (Show)]%% and [Maksim|Maksim (Show)] found in [Lan|Lan (Show)]’s pouch in Scene 23, written in the [Old Tongue]. %%green [Alanna|Alanna (Show)]%% identifies it as a prophecy and says [Lan|Lan (Show)] must not know what it’s about, but [Maksim|Maksim (Show)] reveals it concerns [Lanfear] and that her [seal] is broken. [Ihvon|Ihvon (Show)] begins reading the poem aloud—the same one from Scene 3—its words echoing ominously.

The scene cuts to the cabin in [Kinslayer’s Dagger|Kinslayers Dagger], where [Selene|Selene (Show)] and [Rand|Rand (Show)] are on a bed. [Selene|Selene (Show)] is atop [Rand|Rand (Show)], tying his wrists to the headboard, then leans down to kiss him. As [Ihvon|Ihvon (Show)]’s reading continues, [Ishamael|Ishamael (Show)]’s voice takes over, reciting the poem with a chilling tone. [Selene|Selene (Show)] sits up, her expression shifting, and admits she’s a monster as well. Her sitting up is intertwined with the crouching figure in Scene 3 standing up, revealing their actions are linked. [Rand|Rand (Show)], confused, asks her to explain. [Selene|Selene (Show)] begins to [channel|One Power], a faint glow forming around her.

Suddenly, a sword impales [Selene|Selene (Show)] through the heart from behind. %%blue [Moiraine|Moiraine (Show)]%% steps into view, reaching around to slice [Selene|Selene (Show)]’s throat with a knife, then throws her body to the floor. %%blue [Moiraine|Moiraine (Show)]%% quickly cuts the bindings on [Rand|Rand (Show)]’s wrists, urging him to hurry as they don’t have much time. [Rand|Rand (Show)], shocked, says, “You killed her,” and [channel|One Power]s, pushing %%blue [Moiraine|Moiraine (Show)]%% back against a nearby wall. %%blue [Moiraine|Moiraine (Show)]%% says she didn’t kill [Selene|Selene (Show)] because she can’t—because [Selene|Selene (Show)] is [Lanfear], Daughter of the Night, the most dangerous of the [Forsaken]. [Rand|Rand (Show)] insists she’s [Selene|Selene (Show)], an innkeeper, but %%blue [Moiraine|Moiraine (Show)]%% counters that [Lanfear] has been lying to him, something %%blue [Moiraine|Moiraine (Show)]%% can never do. [Rand|Rand (Show)] stops [channel|One Power]ing, releasing %%blue [Moiraine|Moiraine (Show)]%%. She tells him they need to run. They grab their weapons and flee out the door.

On the floor, [Lanfear]’s body stirs. She blinks, and flecks of [saa] move across her eyes.

[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], a key step in his training as the [Dragon Reborn|The Creator and the Dark One]. Their intimacy is shattered when [Moiraine|Moiraine (Show)] intervenes, revealing Selene as Lanfear, Daughter of the Night, and forcing Rand to flee as Lanfear survives, her eyes showing [saa].

[Moiraine|Moiraine (Show)] visits [Logain|Logain (Show)] at an asylum in [Cairhien|Cairhien (City)]. Logain, who previously guided [Rand|Rand (Show)] in [channel|One Power]ing as a [False Dragon], tells Moiraine that Rand was at the [Crescent Inn]. Moiraine instructs Logain to continue teaching Rand “everything” to control the [One Power]. This ensures Rand can continue his journey as the [Dragon Reborn|The Creator and the Dark One], with Logain set to play a key role in his training. She questions a gatekeeper about the [Crescent Inn] fire, but he offers no information about Rand’s whereabouts, leaving Moiraine to continue her search. 

! Lan, Alanna, Ihvon, and Maksim

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], intercutting with Moiraine’s confrontation with Lanfear.

! 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 assist in her search for [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].

! 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.

! 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.

! 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. A wolf reveals its name as [Hopper|Hopper (Show)] to Perrin, sharing a bond of mourning that mirrors 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], sensing his pain in dreams. Frustrated by Elyas’s reluctance to help against troops heading to [Falme],
Perrin remains determined to rescue 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, and she sees no visions around him, 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.
