Chronology (Possible Spoilers)#

• In a courtyard, several Aes Sedai meet to discuss the novices. Sheriam, the Mistress of Novices, is leading the conversation. Sheriam notes that they can't afford any losses and that the White Tower used to be full, but now fewer girls come to the Tower and they have lesser power. Liandrin asks permission just to talk with her. Sheriam agrees to allow her to talk to Nynaeve and then ends the meeting. Alanna tells Sheriam that this is a mistake. (Episode 201)
• Sheriam visits Alanna, with her warders Ihvon and Maksim present, discussing Liandrin’s plan for Nynaeve’s Accepted test. She seems uncomfortable with Alanna’s notion that powerful individuals signal the Last Battle, notes Liandrin has called for a vote, and questions if Alanna will be present, noticing her packed saddlebags (Scene 13 - Episode 202)
• Sheriam encounters Egwene and Elayne outside their rooms, asking Egwene where Nynaeve is, and imposes a three-month punishment on Elayne for moving furniture, requiring her presence in Sheriam’s office before breakfast (Scene 19 - Episode 202)
• Sheriam and Leane are present in a chamber with Liandrin for Nynaeve’s formal ceremony. After the ceremony, they escort Nynaeve to an adjacent room containing the Three Arches (Scene 26 - Episode 202)
• Sheriam stands with Leane and Liandrin in the Three Arches chamber at the White Tower, explains the ter'angreal’s purpose to Nynaeve, instructs her to strip to her shift, weaves to activate the arches, and warns, "The way back will come but once," as Nynaeve enters the first arch. (Scene 3 - Episode 203)
• Sheriam’s voice echoes in Nynaeve’s first arch vision, warning, "The way back will come but once," pours water over Nynaeve in a symbolic cleansing after she returns to the Three Arches chamber, answers that no one knows if the vision was real, and repeats her warning as Nynaeve enters the next arch. (Scene 4 - Episode 203)
• Sheriam’s voice echoes in Nynaeve’s second arch vision, warning, "The way back will come but once," and repeats her warning in the Three Arches chamber at the White Tower as Nynaeve enters the next arch. (Scene 5 - Episode 203)
• Sheriam’s voice faintly echoes in Nynaeve’s third arch vision, warning, "The way back will come but once," pours water over Nynaeve in a symbolic cleansing after she is flung out in the Three Arches chamber, announces Nynaeve is Accepted, offers her an Aes Sedai ring, and watches as Nynaeve rejects it and leaves. (Scene 6 - Episode 203)
• Sheriam concedes Alanna was correct in her assessment, retorts to Liandrin in the Three Arches chamber at the White Tower that Nynaeve’s trust in them led to her death, expresses hope that Liandrin will carry eternal guilt, admits her own guilt, and departs. (Scene 7 - Episode 203)
• Sheriam packs Nynaeve’s belongings in the White Tower, reveals to Egwene and Elayne that Nynaeve didn’t emerge from the Three Arches, suggests Egwene’s grief will strengthen her, and departs. (Scene 12 - Episode 203)
