== Falme ==
Seanchan ships lower their sails outside Falme. In the palace courtyard, High Lady Suroth approaches High Lord Turak. Ishamael and Alwhin walk at her sides, and behind them walk Ingtar Shinowa and Loial. The court is full of Seanchan nobles, with the sides of the heads shaved and shaded by umbrellas held by their da'covale (servents). The Seanchan guards stand at attention.
The crowd of Seanchan nobles gasp. Ishamael looks sharply at her.
Lady Suroth extends her nails and kneels. A soldier draws his sword and strikes her nails, breaking them. Alwhin is shaken. Suroth gasps. The nobility all look uncomfortably away.
Soldiers step forward to sieze her, but Suroth raises her hands and they stop. She rises and leaves.
Padan Fain steps out, carrying the chest with the Horn of Valere. He saunters up to Turak. Ingtar and Loial exchange a startled look.
Fain sets the chest before Turak, who licks his lips and opens it.
Title sequence.
== Kinslayer's Dagger ==
Moiraine and Rand run through the woods.
Back at the cabin, Selene/Lanfear lays in a pool of blood. Choking and gasping, she touches the wound on her chest. Black specks cross the whites of her eyes.
Darkness flows over her like liquid. She gasps deeply and sits up, fully healed. She grabs her cloak and leaves the cabin. Lightning flashes outside.
They run to a stables and begin untethering the horses. A stablemaster walks in.
The stablemaster gasps and gets to work saddling the horses.
Moiraine draws Rand's sword.
Moiraine steps up to a horse and slices its throat. The horse squeals and collapses. Rand looks horrified.
Later, Moiraine, Rand, and the stablemaster gallop down the road.
Selene arrives at the stable and sees the dead horse.
An older man on horseback arrives on the road behind her.
Lanfear twists power in her hand and the man's head explodes. His body falls off the horse.
Lanfear taks his horse and gallops down the road in pursuit of Rand and Moiraine.
== Scene: Toman Head ==
Elyas and Perrin walk through the woods at night.
Perrin steps up to the edge of the path and looks through the darkness and sees...
The wolves come out and surround them, softly snarling and growling.
Hopper looks at Perrin and whines softly. Perrin turns and walks away.
== Road to Tar Valon ==
Moiraine, Rand, and the stablemaster's three horses continue galloping down the road toward Tar Valon.
Lanfear gallops in pursuit, passing a stone marking the locations.
After she passes, Moiraine and Rand step out of hiding behind another stone.
Moiraine and Rand begin in the opposite direction.
== Atuan's Mill ==
Hopper catches up with Perrin and gets Perrin to follow him back toward Atuan's Mill, which is across the river.
Hopper whines. Perrin sniffs the air and looks back toward Atuan's Mill. He has a vision of Uno's body in a cage.
Perrin looks back at Hopper.
Hopper whines softly and lies down as Perrin takes a boat and crosses the river.
At Atuan's Mill, Perrin quietly pulls up his boat and finds several hanging cages holding the dead. One cage holds a Seanchan soldier. He finds Uno's cage and looks around. He picks up a hammer and prepares to bust open Uno's cage. A woman's voice stops him.
Perrin looks over and sees an Aiel woman in one of the cages.
Perrin approaches her. He's stopped by a man's voice.
The man places a skin of water on her cage. He's wearing a large brown cloak.
Dain leads Perrin toward the inn. Perrin looks back at the Aiel woman, who uncorks the waterskin and takes a drink. Perrin continues walking with the man.
At the inn, Perrin and the man have a drink together.
Perrin nods. A dog comes out of the inn and runs up to Perrin. The barkeep chases after her.
Perrin turns to the dog, Lady, and she places her paw on the back of Perrin's hand. At the sound of indistinct talking behind him, Perrin turns to see Whitecloaks in the town. One addresses another as "Child".
Dain leans back to address the barkeep. His brown cloak parts, revealing that he's wearing the uniform of the Children of the Light.
Perrin gets up to follow the barkeep and Lady inside the inn.
The barkeep leads Perrin through the inn.
Perrin can hear men talking outside through the window.
The floorboards creek and Perrin moves back from the window.
Valda leaves. Perrin exhales.
== Road to Tar Valon ==
Thunder rumbles over the White Tower in the distance. Lanfear races her horse down the road. She stops when she catches up to the Stablemaster, who has stopped to rest with the three horses.
The Stablemaster's mouth begins to sew shut, her shouts muffled behind her sealed lips. Lanfear gallops down the road.
== Tar Valon ==
A cloaked rider enters the city gates at night. With the White Tower in sight, she lowers her hood -- revealing Verin.
In the White Tower Library, Verin enters. Yasicca turns from her writing and gasps. Nyomi, who is sitting on a coach, smiles excitedly and gets up.
Yasicca hugs her.
They part and Verin holds her arms out to Nyomi and they hug.
They part and Verin reaches into her skirt pocket and pulls out a bottle.
Nyomi takes a drink.
Yasicca takes a drink. She makes a face like it's harsh, and they laugh.
Verin picks up a piece of food and takes a bite.
== The Ways ==
A fire is lit on a path in the Ways. Nynaeve, Egwene, and Elayne are all unconscious with their hands bound. Nynaeve wakes.
Nynaeve struggles.
== Falme ==
The doors to Suroth's rooms are opened and Suroth, Ishamael, and Alwhin enter.
Alwhin leaves.
Suroth tries to pull her hand back, but Ishamael holds her securely a moment, before letting her hand go.
== Atuan's Mill ==
Perrin looks out the window of his room and sneaks out. He heads for his boat, passing the cages, but he stops before leaving. He turns back to look at the Aiel woman in the cage. He unties the rope holding her cage up.
Once untied, he carefully lowers the cage to the ground. He pries open the cage door.
Aviendha chuckles softly. Perrin hears voices in the distance.
As they head away, they stop as Whitecloaks step into their path. The Whitecloaks draw their swords.
The Whitecloaks surround Perrin and Aviendha. Perrin moves to shield Aviendha to protect her. She laughs and steps out from behind his shielding arm.
Aviendha pulls up a veil to cover the lower half of her face. Dain raises a hand in signal to his men, and with a flick the Whitecloaks attack. Aviendha deftly fights off multiple men. Perrin punches another picks up an axe to fight, his eyes turning golden. Dain enters the fight and Aviendha knocks him down. She disarms him and is about to strike him down with his own axe when--
Aviendha stops just before the kill strike, and looks at Perrin confused.
Perrin and Aviendha leave.
== Cairhien ==
It's snowing in Cairhien. A bell tolls. Rand and Moiraine walk quickly through the inner city.
Moiraine pauses outside a door and looks back at Rand.
They enter Damodred Manor.
Moiraine goes into the kitchen, where Anvaere and Barthanes are with a cook. A variety of dishes are spread on a table.
Moiraine playfully curtsies to him before leaving. Distracted from his question, Barthanes smiles at her.
== Sheriam's Study ==
Sheriam writes in her ledger at her desk. A Novice dusts on the other side of the room. The door opens and Verin enters.
The Novice leaves. Verin and Sheriam both sit.
Sheriam looks back through her ledger.
Sheriam closes her ledger and both women get up and leave the study, closing the door behind them. The room is quiet for a moment. Then the door opens and Yasicca sneaks in and looks at Sheriam's ledger.
== White Tower Library ==
Yasicca and Verin sit on a couch in the library study. A plate of mostly-eaten food sits on the table and Yasicca is drinking from a small cup.
Yasicca nods.
== Falme Waygate ==
At an oasis outside of Falme, a Waygate is overgrown with vines. The Waygate opens and Liandrin comes through with Nynaeve, Egwene, and Elayne unconscious and thrown over horseback. She approaches Lady Suroth, seated on her palanquin and surrounded by her guards, da'covale, damane, and sul'dam. The guards approach her and remove the girls from the horses and set them down by a tree. Liandrin approaches Suroth.
Liandrin heads back to the Waygate. She passes Nynaeve, Egwene, and Elayne, still unconscious and bound. At the entrance to the Waygate, she looks back at Suroth.
Liandrin discreetly weaves a thread of the One Power in her hand. The girls all wake, and Nynaeve's bonds burn through, freeing her. Liandrin gives her a small smile before leaving. The Waygate entrance shuts behind her.
The damane Miri approaches with her sul'dam and the guards.
Elayne channels a blast of lightning that strikes the ground before their enemies. The guards cry out.
As the girls run, Miri channels explosions at them. Egwene channels a shield to block the attacks. The girls run through the thick foliage. Miri and the sul'dam continue after them. Nynaeve and Elayne run into a clearing and look behind them, and Nynaeve looks around. 
Egwene is bound on the ground, with two damane holding her with the One Power. Egwene struggles in vain.
== Toman Head ==
Daytime, Perrin and Aviendha have stopped to make a fire and eat. Hopper eats raw meat while Perrin and Aviendha cook theirs. Aviendha treats a wound on her leg.
They both chuckle.
Aviendha nods.
== Falme ==
A caravan of camels, horses, and carriages approach the city gates. Nynaeve and Elayne walk among them, wrapped in shawls and carrying baskets. Once inside the gates, the place their baskets on the back of a cart and move among the market. Elayne looks around.
A man smoking a pipe looks over at them.
Elayne stops her.
The man stands from his table and walks after them. Elayne looks at the soldiers that are walking the streets.
The soldiers shout in the distance, and Elayne and Nynaeve move into an unoccupied area to hide. Nynaeve quickly gets back out on the street.
The man comes up behind them and Elayne has just enough time to see him in alarm before he knocks them both out against the stone walls.
== White Tower ==
Liandrin walks through the White Tower corridor with a knapsack.
Verin looks consideringly at Liandrin as she walks down the corridor.
== Damodred Manor ==
Moiraine washes the blood off herself in her room. With a knock, Anvaere enters.
Moiraine looks at her and doesn't answer. Anvaere nods. She takes the washcloth from Moiraine's hand.
Anveare wipes Moiraine's back.
Moiraine considers for a moment. An idea comes to her and she looks at her sister.
Anvaere smiles, pleased.
== Falme ==
=== Tel'aran'rhiod ===
Rand sleeps on a bed. Ishamael, lying next to him, caresses Rand's face. He moves closer, so his face is right next to Rand, their noses almost touching.
Rand fades away, revealing Lanfear, who's grinning and chuckling.
Ishamael gets out of the bed and goes to get a drink from the table. Lanfear stretches and the lights in the room come up and she also gets out of the bed.
Lanfear pours a drink and raises it in a toast.
They clink glasses and drink.
They both chuckle. Ishamael takes a drink from Lanfear's glass.
Ishamael turns back to the bed, where Rand now lies again. He's awake and looks down the bed at them.
Ishamael wakes in his room. A da'covale stands beside him.
Ishamael nods.
=== Turak's court ===
Ishamael stands in the palace courtyard. Alwhin, Ingtar, and Loial stand behind him.
== The attic ==
Nynaeve wakes on a bed in a fire-lit room. The sleeves of her Accepted dress have been torn off.
Elayne wakes. The door opens. A woman approaches them, and the man who knocked them out is with her.
Ryma shows them her Great Serpent ring which she's kept hanging on her belt.
Nynaeve and Elayne share a look.
== Turak's court ==
High Lady Suroth approaches Turak. Behind her, two sul'dam drag a woman in a grey dress with a silver veil covering her head. She stands by Ishamael and Alwhin.
The sul'dam drop the woman to the ground. One of the sul'dam lift her veil, revealing Egwene.
The sul'dam lift Egwene to her feet, and one of the sul'dam, Renna, places a collar around Egwene's throat. The collar locks into place with the One Power, and expands to form a chest plate. A strand of the One Power flows from the collar to Renna's cuff bracelet, and Egwene collapses to her knees, crying out in pain. Renna then places a physical chain leash on the back of Egwene's collar.
== Damodred Manor ==
In the kitchens, Rand and Barthanes play a card game at a table. Rand is wearing new, clean cloths. He rubs tiredly at his eyes.
Moiraine enters and Rand looks up at her.
Moiraine takes Rand to a guest bedroom.
Rand walks over to the bed.
With a sigh, Rand lies down on the bed and closes his eyes--
--and wakes up in Tel'aran'rhiod, tethered to a large stone wheel on an epic vista. Across from him, sitting on a stone throne in an elaborate black outfit, Lanfear looks at him.
