It was quite an interesting episode, with lots of things happening. We learn more about Rand, who seems to be working at a sort of mental hospital and sleeping with his landlady to pay the rent. He uses his power to beat one of his co-workers who laughed at one of the patients, and in the end he gets promoted to his position, and now has to take care of the false Dragon. I wonder if he would recognise Rand?
Mat breaks the wall and discovers another cell holding Min, at first he befriends her but after Min has a vision of Mat murdering Rand, maybe she won't be so friendly towards him anymore.
Perrin and others continue their search for Padan Fain but no avail so far. In one of the villages, they discover the traces of the Darkfriends and it turns out that Perrin has a very useful skill to get a vision what really happened at a crime scene. When the whole Wheel of Time scheme fails him, he can surely get a job on one of the CSI shows, where it would be most useful. He turns out to be an average fighter when the village they stay is attacked by some soldiers. In the end, the army brings what looks like damane and there is also the big baddie there.
I liked the girls' and Moraine's plots the best. She decides to leave for Tar Valon and there is a nice scene with her and Lan reminiscing about their first meeting and how she chose him to be her Warder. However, it doesn't look like reconciliation since Moraine rejects him later on quite harshly, though she does reveal to him what danger the world is in now. Lan took the poem she bought from her saddlebags, I wonder what was in the poem and what consequences this is going to have.
Nynaeve follows Liandrin and discovers her secret, the Aes Sedai is taking care of a sick elderly man (Liandrin addresses him "my boy" so he could be her son since the Aes Sedai do not age), later she overhears Egwene venting her jealousy about her to her new friend, and is called for her trial of the Arches. Quite a stressful time for poor Nynaeve. I don't know the book and I am really curious about the trials.
Egwene befriends the new novice, princess Elayne. She is quite a likeable character and quite a perceptive one as she discovers Egwene's real feelings immediately. It's a great addition to the cast.
