== Rand in Cairhien ==
Rand is dreaming. He's in the Two Rivers and his friends are dead on the ground around him. There's blood on his hands and his sword is bloodied.
Awake, Rand stands at the window of his room in an inn.
Selene leaves. Rand sighs. Indistinct whispers continue.
Dressed, Rand walks through the Foregate, an impoverished district outside the gates of the inner city of Cairhien. He passes boy and gives him some coins.
Rand walks by other children playing. A seller calls to him and tosses him flatbread.
Rand catches it and eats it as he walks. At the gate into the main city, he shows papers to a guard, who checks it and lets Rand pass. The inner city has stone buildings, paved streets, and women walking in fine dresses.
In the sanitarium, Rand takes off his coat and puts on a blue robe of the orderlies. He walks through the halls with fresh blankets. Distressed patients shout and whimper. A woman stands wailing in her room. A man twitches in a chair. The indistinct whispers that Rand hears grow louder, louder, until they form words...
Title appears.
== Tifan's Well ==
Lan and Moiraine both sit outside, looking weary and not fully recovered from their fight against the Fades. Adeleas comes out. She kneels by Lan, and Moiraine rolls her eyes.
Verin comes out and sits by Moiraine.
Moiraine sighs. Tomas walks by with several saddled horses. Adeleas hands Lan a cup of water.
Verin and Adeleas step away, leaving Lan and Moiraine alone again. They share a look. Moiraine looks away. Lan carefully gets up and walks over to her. Moiraine rises with a groan.
Moiraine walks away. Lan sighs. He looks over at Verin, Adeleas, and Tomas.
== Arad Doman ==
The Shienarans follow Elyas, who is tracking on foot.
Elyas leads them off the path to a river.
Ingtar gives the signal and they all dismount from their horses. They cross to the other side and head toward a stone building.
Ingtar leads them into a courtyard. Perrin sees the shutters of a window move.
Ingtar and Perrin enter the house. Laughing children run through the room. A family has food set out for dinner.
Perrin stops. His eyes have turned golden. It's a vision of something that's already happened, and Perrin watches the family cut down by a darkfriend and a Fade. Perrin looks around the room, shocked. Ingtar looks unconcerned. Elyas stands in the doorway, watching Perrin.
Perrin looks back at the table, the vision ended. It's covered in rotten food and swarming with flies.
Perrin goes back out into the courtyard.
Masema leads them a large door, with a dead Fade nailed to it.
== Cairhien sanitarium ==
Rand brings blankets into a patient's bedroom. The patient, Errol, is sitting on his bed. He recoils at the sight of Rand, alarmed.
Unconcerned, Rand sets down the blankets and smiles.
Rand kneels by Errol's bed. There's a statue of a horse on Errol's bedside that's fallen over, and Rand sets it upright. He picks up slippers and gently places them on Errol's feet.
Rand gets up and offers Errol a robe. Errol gets up and Rand helps him put it on, and he gives Errol a walking cane. They walk through the halls, with Rand helping support Errol.
Errol demonstrates with his cane. Another orderly, Yann, intentionally makes a loud banging noise. The sound startles Errol, who collapses to the ground, covering his head and whimpering. Rand looks alarmed at Yann and kneels beside Errol to comfort him. Yann walks over, laughing.
Yann pats Rand's shoulder and leaves. Unmoved, Rand watches him go for a moment, and then kneels down by Errol again to console him.
Down the hall, Yann stands by large doors leading to a garden, where a guard stands. He looks back down the hall at Rand and Errol.

Egwene brings buckets into the kitchen.
The novice shrugs.
=== Hospital ===
Liandrin leads Nynaeve through a hospital. They pass Yellow Aes Sedai and come to the bed of a young girl who is very ill. An Accepted is with her. Nynaeve looks at the child and recognizes the illness.
Nynaeve sees herbs on a nearby table, including a small vile of a red substance.
Nynaeve holds the girl's hand. The Accepted performs a weave, healing the girl. The child now lies calmly in bed, no longer convulsing.
Liandrin and Nynaeve leave the healing house. They talk on the streets of Tar Valon.
=== Cell ===
Liandrin leaves, bolting the door. Mat gestures with his hand, casually indicating Liandrin's movements of bolting and locking the door and then walking away down the hall. Now fully out of earshot, Mat jumps up, eating the sweetcakes, lowers a dresser, and continues his task of digging out the stones from his cell wall.
=== Novice quarters ===
Egwene returns to her room and finds lavish furniture in the hall and a stack of pillows blocking her door. She picks up the pillows and brings them to the next room, which is filled with attendants preparing the room with furniture, and a young woman in a white novice dress - Elayne Trakand.
Egwene sets the pillow down.
Egwene hesitates. Elayne enters Egwene's room.
Elayne looks around, and realizes--
Elayne notices something on Egwene's bed.
Egwene doesn't react, she doesn't know what Elayne is talking about.
Egwene smiles back.
=== Meeting ===
Sheriam meets with Alanna, Maksim, and Ihvon.
Sheriam looks pointedly at their packed saddlebags. She gets up and leaves.
=== Outside Liandrin's quarters ===
Nynaeve walks up to Liandrin's door, where another Novice is holding a large basket with a pile of red clothes.
Nynaeve heads down the direction the novice indicated, following Liandrin. She comes to an apparent dead end and Liandrin isn't there. After a moment, Nynaeve figures out that one panel is fake, and she opens it to a secret passage. She follows it out to the streets of Tar Valon, and pursues Liandrin.
