== Previously on ==
== Ruins ==
Ishamael walks through old ruins. At a Seal positioned overhead, he channels upwards while chanting in the Old Tongue. The seal shatters. A blood-covered woman appears crouched before him. He steps toward her and speaks in the common tongue.
The woman begins to rise. Blood drips from her fingertips and long hair.
She extends her bloodied hand to Ishamael, who takes it firmly.
== Cairhien ==
At her manor, Lady Anvaere wakes. She puts on a wig. She rings a bell and a servant helps her dress. She takes a morning drink in a quiet room surrounded by paintings, with canvases stacked against walls and cabinets, and paint brushes covering a work desk. Jhonas, the butler, steps in.
Properly dressed, Anvaere sits at a table in a room. Jhonas escorts in Moiraine Damodred.
Moiraine briskly walks off.
In the Foregate, Rand helps clean up from the fire. He throws burnt wood into a wheelbarrel and shovels up the ash.
== White Tower ==
Nynaeve sits in bed in her new room. She wears the dress of an Accepted with the sleeves banded in the colors of the Ajahs, and she stills wears her Wisdom's belt. The last words she had with her daughter in the Arches replay in her mind.
A knock at the door brings Nynaeve back to the present. She walks to the door, pauses, then puts on her Great Serpent ring. She opens the door and Egwene is there with a plate.
Egwene hugs her, but Nynaeve is slow to return it.
== Arafel ==
At the home of Alanna's extended family in Arafel. Children play at sword-fighting with Maksim and Ihvon using sticks. Alanna laughs and prepares the meal with the adults. Lan looks on fondly. The playing ends and the children beg Maksim to please keep playing.
The adults sit together at a table covered in food. Lan and Ihvon join them. Alanna brings over a large bowl and addresses the table, but mainly looks at two women -- her sisters.
She offers some to Lan.
She passes the bowl to her cousins.
Alanna gasps and laughs and her sisters smile.
They all laugh. Alanna playfully shrugs at the suggestion.
Later, Lan urinates at a tree. Alanna walks up behind him.
== Cairhien ==
Moiraine looks through her old room. A dollhouse. She pulls dusty cloths off the furniture. Old books. A music box. A box of cigarillos. She pulls cloth from a mirror and looks at herself in her new Cairhien-style dress. As she walks away, she glances at the wall and does a double-take. There's a painting of Moiraine and a young child, her younger sister. She smiles at it.
Moiraine leaves her room and sees Anvaere speaking with Jhonas. Moiraine takes the Ghealdanin red from the table and leaves without a word.
At the sanitarium, Moiraine walks with Rand's manager Celestin.
Celestin nods to the guard at the garden door. He opens the door for her, and she walks through into the garden. She finds Logain Ablar sitting, and he laughs humorlessly when he sees her.
Moiraine pours a cup of the Ghealdanin Red wine.
Moiraine holds up a cup of the wine offering it to Logain. Logain approaches her.
Logain knocks the cup from her hand.
Moiraine pulls out her dagger. Logain looks at it hungrily. He steps toward it and Moiraine steps back, keeping it out of reach.
Moiraine sheaths the dagger and leaves.
== White Tower ==
Egwene and Elayne mop a stone hallway.
Elsewhere, Nynaeve walks through the White Tower halls. Novices bow to her, and Nynaeve looks uncomfortable. She arrives at the sandpit where the Warders train. A young man stops his training when he sees her.
Liandrin walks by, but at seeing Nynaeve, she stops and steps back behind a wall to watch.
Nynaeve shakes her head and turns to leave.
Nynaeve gives him a stern look and he backs away to resume training.
Liandrin watches Nynaeve walk away. Another Red sister approaches Liandrin and hands her a letter. Liandrin reads it and looks troubled.
Leane works in her study. Liandrin enters.
Leane doesn't answer her and focuses on her work.
Liandrin begins to leave.
Liandrin chuckles and leaves.
== Toman Head ==
Wolves run through a forest. Perrin and Elyas walk after them on a forest road.
They pause at the vision of a buck running through the air before them. Perrin's eyes turn golden at the sight.
Later, the wolves eat at the carcas of the buck. Elyas eats a chunk of raw meat. Perrin cooks his portion over a fire. The wolf who has been walking with them sits at Perrin's side.
The wolf looks over at Perrin. Elyas indicates him.
(Note: This is a reference to the events of season 1 episode 5.)
The wolf whimpers.
Perrin gives Elyas a questioning look.
A vision appears before Perrin of a wolf playfully hopping up into the air. Perrin smiles at it. Elyas seems to not see it. Perrin looks at the wolf sitting next to him -- the wolf in the vision.
== Arafel ==
Lan reads the poem he took from Moiraine. He puts it away as Maksim arrives.
Outside at a well, Lan pulls up a bucket of water.
Maksim gets a distant look.
== Cairhien ==
Moiraine stands in the foregate before the burned ruins of The Crescent Inn. She approaches the guards at the gate and speaks to one - Asan Sandair.
The Sandair shrugs. Moiraine walks back into the inner city.
== Kinslayer's Dagger ==
As Rand and Selene walk up Kinslayer's Dagger, they pause on the side of a cliff, looking out.
Selene leans against his chest.
They kiss.
== Cairhien countryside ==
In an inn, Mat rolls dice with Min, and he loses.
Min gets up and goes to the barkeep. She puts a lot of coin on the table.
The barkeep nods. Min brings two drinks back to the table with Mat.
== White Tower ==
Liandrin enters the room of the Arches, where Nynaeve is sitting looking up at them.
== Arafel ==
Ihvon, Lan, and Maksim sit quietly in meditation. Maksim fidgets. Then finally opens his eyes, looks at the other two, and quietly gets up and leaves.
Maksim leads Alanna into a room and shows her the poem Lan took from Moiraine. As she reads, Ishamael's voice whispers in the Old Tongue. These are his words from the opening scene.
== Cairhien ==
Nighttime. Moiraine returns to her sister's house. She nearly knocks on her sister's door but returns to her own room instead -- and finds Anvaere sitting there, waiting for her.
Anvaere pours a cup of tea and offers it to Moiraine, who looks amused.
== White Tower ==
Egwene and Elayne sit in Elayne's room, drinking and laughing together.
They laugh. The door suddenly opens.
Nynaeve stares, sternly waiting.
Elayne leaves. Egwene gets up.
They leave together.
Nynaeve leads Egwene through the secret passage (discovered in episode 202).
They hear something, and turn back to see Elayne come up behind them.
From the other end of the passage, Liandrin emerges.
Liandrin blasts them with the One Power, knocking them out.
== Min's dream ==
Min sleeps in the attic room of the inn, when suddenly her two aunts pull her from bed.
The sit her in a chair at a table with a crystal ball.
The aunts leave. There's a line of people waiting, and one of the aunts pushes forward the woman at the start of the line. She sits at the table across from Min.
Min sees a vision of the woman horribly burned on one side of her face. The woman leaves and a young boy sits across from Min.
Min sees a vision of the child with death-like imagery. The visions of the boy and the woman screaming are overwhelming.
A man steps forward. Min squeezes her eyes shut, blocking out the visions, but the screaming continues. The screams suddenly stop.
Min hesitantly opens her eyes. The people are gone. The room is quiet. She looks at the man and there are no visions.
Ishamael smiles.
== Kinslayer's Dagger ==
Rand and Selene sleep outside near a waning fire. Rand wakes. He gets up, takes out his sword, and cautiously steps away. Behind him, a Fade slips from the shadows.
Rand turns as the Fade is about to attack and fights him. The Fade knocks the blade from his hands.
Rand channels, setting the Fade on fire. Selene steps away.
Rand steps forward and reaches for her. Selene gasps and steps back. Rand backs away and nods.
Rand leans close. Selene takes his hand and guides him to the cabin.
== Ending ==
In Arafel, Ihvon joins Alanna and Maksim outside.
Alanna hands the prophecy to Ihvon.
At the cabin on Kinslayer's Dagger, Selene tears fabric and ties Rand to the bed.
Selene kisses Rand.
Selene leans down and whispers into Rand's ear.
As Selene leans back, rising up, it's visually cut with the woman from the opening rising up, covered in blood. Selene is this woman -- Lanfear.
The air around Selene/Lanfear wavers, like weaves of the One Power that Rand can't quite see.
A sword pierces through Selene/Lanfear's chest from behind. Moiraine appears behind her and slashes her throat. Blood spatters over Rand's face and chest. Rand gasps. Moiraine cuts the bonds tying him down.
Furious, Rand channels. A blast of air forces Moiraine back against a wall. Rand gets up and grabs Moiraine by the neck.
Rand releases Moiraine and the flows of the One Power recede.
Moiraine runs to the door. Rand grabs his sword.
As they run, the camera pans down to focus on Selene/Lanfear, dead on the ground in a pool of blood. Dark specks waft through the whites of her eyes. She blinks and takes a breath.
