Chronology (Possible Spoilers) %%accordion-closed ! 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.

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 asks [Rand|Rand (Show)] what his plan is.

([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.

([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.
