! The Eye of the World

* [Rand|Rand (Show)] wakes from sleep and [Moiraine|Moiraine (Show)] asks him if he had a dream and he replies that the [Dark One|ShaiTan] knows where they are. Ishamael, with ember eyes and mouth, stabs [Moiraine|Moiraine (Show)] through the back of her head and she falls dead. He is dressed in a similar fashion as [Lews Therin|Lews Therin Telamon (Show)|Lews Therin Telamon (Show)] in the cold open. [Rand|Rand (Show)] shoots him in the eye. Ishamael pushes the arrow through his eye, which takes his face with it, revealing that he had a mask on and had a normal face beneath it. Ishamael says that [Rand|Rand (Show)] looks nothing like [Lews Therin|Lews Therin Telamon (Show)|Lews Therin Telamon (Show)], but he can still tell that [Rand|Rand (Show)] is him. Ishamael asks [Rand|Rand (Show)] what his plan is. He compares who [Rand|Rand (Show)] has with him now ([Moiraine|Moiraine (Show)]) versus what [Lews Therin|Lews Therin Telamon (Show)|Lews Therin Telamon (Show)] had with him then (99 companions). [Rand|Rand (Show)] draws his sword and Ishamael notices that it's a heron-marked blade. Ishamael asks where he got it from and [Rand|Rand (Show)] replies from his father. Ishamael is amused that [Rand|Rand (Show)] thinks that [Tam|Tam (Show)|Tam (Show)] is his father. ([Episode 108])
* At the [Eye|Eye of the World], [Rand|Rand (Show)] seems to be passed out and %%blue [Moiraine|Moiraine (Show)]%% is trying to revive him.

* [Rand|Rand (Show)] accepts that it's really [Egwene|Egwene (Show)], but the whole scene freezes moments later and Ishamael approaches them. He tells [Rand|Rand (Show)] that he can remake the world in his image and that he can show [Rand|Rand (Show)] how. The scene switches back to the [Eye|Eye of the World]. Ishamael is wondering if [Rand|Rand (Show)] will pick the Light or Dark. [Moiraine|Moiraine (Show)] pulls a knife out and places it at [Rand|Rand (Show)]'s throat, warning that if [Rand|Rand (Show)] doesn't choose the Light, she will choose for him. ([Episode 108])
* Ishamael shows [Rand|Rand (Show)] that the world is not so stable by causing a slash to appear in [Egwene|Egwene (Show)]'s neck. He repairs it after [Rand|Rand (Show)] demands him to. [Rand|Rand (Show)] then asks Ishamael how he can make it real. ([Episode 108])
* Ishamael is giving instructions to [Rand|Rand (Show)], telling him to empty himself of all feelings and turn them into want. To want everything so much that it turns into reality. [Rand|Rand (Show)] starts [channeling|One Power]. The scene changes back to the [Eye|Eye of the World]. Ishamael informs [Moiraine|Moiraine (Show)] that [Rand|Rand (Show)] is now [channeling|One Power]. ([Episode 108])

[Rand|Rand (Show)] asks about what [Egwene|Egwene (Show)] wants and then releases the [Power|One Power] in the [sa'angreal|Angreal] into Ishamael, seemingly destroying him and cracking the symbol on the floor. ([Episode 108])

! Darkfriend Social

* A girl calls out to her mother and [Ishamael|Ishamael (Show)] comes beneath the table to talk to the girl. He asks her if there's a monster outside. She acknowledges that, and he takes her to go outside with him. He mentions that people call him a [Forsaken]. [Ishamael|Ishamael (Show)] and the girl walk back outside where the three [Trollocs] are standing. They do not attack. He convinces the girl that the [Trollocs] aren't evil but maybe just hungry. He picks her up and approaches one of the [Trollocs] and touches its face. The [Trolloc] leans into his hand. The girl then tries touching the [Trolloc] and it leans into her hand as well. The girl giggles. ([Episode 201])
