The Wheel of Time Season 2 Episode 8.

Based on the book series The Wheel of Time created by Robert Jordan

Showrunner: Rafe Judkins

Written by: Rafe Judkins and Tim Earle

Directed by: Sanaa Hamri

Spoiler Filled Synopsis

While travelling through The Ways Lanfear throws Moiraine and Lan out a waygate before reaching Falme and uses other methods to transport herself and Rand into the city. 

Lanfear alerts Ishamael to Rand's presence, before he feels ready to enact his scheme to bring Rand to the dark. Realising she has betrayed him, Ishamael starts to put in motion plans to counter Lanfear and has Padan Fain deliver Mat the dagger from Shadar Logoth to kill Rand with, but Mat finds a creative solution to taking the blade and escapes his prison. 

Meanwhile Falme comes under attack from the Whitecloaks led by Dain Bornhald and his father Geofram in an attempt to eradicate the Seanchan. But encounter Perrin and the Aiel. As Geofram kills Perrin’s companion Hopper, Perrin quickly takes revenge killing the Whitecloaks leader in front of his son Dain. During the chaos, Ingtar, Loial and Masema escape with the Horn of Valere and join the battle alongside Mat, Perrin and the Aiel. 

Seeing Egwene captured by the Seanchan, Rand confronts and kills the Seanchan leaderTurak and his men. But after a bombardment of Falme’s Tower disrupts the Damane channellers and their Sul’dam, Egwene manages to break free from Renna killing her, as she realises that she can be collared as she is a low level channeler of the one power

Meanwhile, unable to reach Rand at the Tower with his way blocked by Seanchan, Mat is forced to blow the Horn, summoning the Heroes of the Horn to his side and turning the tide of battle. 

Rand, Egwene, Nynaeve, Perrin and Mat reunite and are confronted by Ishamael who has Rand shielded from the One Power and tricks Mat into wounding Rand with the dagger. While Egwene and Perrin protect Rand and Mat from Ishamael, Elayne and Nyneave arrive and Elayne begins to heal Rand’s wound. 

On the beach Moiraine realises Lanfear had placed her and Lan in the location to free Rand from the shielding, allowing him to channel the one power and slay Ishamael with his Heron sword. As was prophesied, Rand is proclaimed the Dragon Reborn before the whole city with a fiery dragon bannered across the sky as his friends stand by his side. 

After the battle, Lanfear is confronted by Moghedien, another of the Forsaken, and learns all Forsaken have been set free and have set their sights on the Dragon Reborn.

The Wheel of Time Episode 5 "Dragon Reborn" Synopsis and Details

Based on the book series The Wheel of Time created by Robert Jordan Showrunner: Rafe Lee Judkins

Episode Directed by: Salli Richardson-Whitfield

Episode Written by: Celine Song

Story Editors: Michael Clarkson and Paul Clarkson

Staff writer: Celine Song

All roads lead to Tar Valon as our heroes begin to converge on the White Tower. With a month passed since Logain’s forces attacked the Aes Sedai camp, he enters Tar Valon as their prisoner to face judgement by the Amalind Seat. Moiraine, Lan and the other Aes Sedai and their Warders mourn the loss of their fallen brethren. But Stepin has taken the death of his Aes Sedai, Kerene, hard and his grief knows no bounds.

While Lan attempts to comfort him, it all becomes too much for Stepin. As a glorious sunrise shimmers over Tar Valon the Warders and Aes Sedai must say goodbye to another of their ranks as Stepin releases himself of his grief and loss. Rand and Mat, having escaped the Fade, also make it to Tar Valon where they treat themselves to comfy beds at a busy tavern.

But Mat has become more and more withdrawn and tetchy, and Rand gets increasingly concerned that he has brought his friend to great danger in Tar Valon, the stronghold of Aes Sedai power, as he realises that his friend could truly be a male channeler or Saidin of the True Source, as warned by Thom. But as Mat is tormented all day and all night of visions from the farmstead, Rand meets Loail, a Ogier, in the tavern library. Looking to help Rand, Loail brings a familiar Wisdom to see Mat as the two are reunited with Nynaeve.

Meanwhile, on the outskirts of Tar Valon, Egwene and Perrin run into and are captured by a familiar face, the Questioner Child Valdor of the Whitecloaks. Believing Egwene and Perrin to be an Aes Sedai and her Warder, he coldly and clinically interrogates the two companions forcing an ultimatum on the two of them. Either Egwene confesses to channelling the One Power and will be killed, if not Perrin will be killed. With Wolves howling nearby in the woods, Valdor tortures Perrin and his eyes become a brilliant golden yellow. With the White cloak distracted Egwene attempts to use her limited control of the One Power to no effect. But as Valdor ominously approaches Egwene to take her hands, wolves start to attack the White cloak encampment and Perrin finds the strength to break his bonds and stand up to Valdor.

In the ensuing chaos Egwene and Perrin escape their captivity protected by the wolves and Valdor lies stabbed in his tent.

The Wheel of Time Episode 4 "Dragon Reborn" Synopsis and Details

Based on the book series The Wheel of Time created by Robert Jordan Showrunner: Rafe Lee Judkins Episode

Directed by: Wayne Yip

Episode Written by: Dave Hill

Story Editors: Michael Clarkson and Paul Clarkson

Staff writer Celine Song

At a camp on the way to Tar Valon, the self-proclaimed Dragon reborn, Logain Albar, is under the control of the Aes Sedai. But his power is such that three Aes Sedai must work together taking turns to use the True Source to bind him. But on his rise to prominence Logain has grown his followers across the land with promises of making the world a better place. The Aes Sedai debate what to do with Logain.

While the Red Sedai believe they should punish Logain now, stripping him of his contact to the One Power, Moiraine struggles with uncertainty about the path forward with this newly proclaimed Dragon. While the Warders catch up with one another, Lan struggles to understand their new companion and Nynaeve just tries to keep her head down as she is surrounded by the Aes Sedai and their Warders.

Perrin and Egwene embark in a new direction on the plains of Caemlyn with the Tua’Athon and learn more about their ways, culture and history. On the road East, pursued by a Fade, Rand, Mat and Thom seek shelter and rest from a family at a farmstead. Offered the barn for the night, Rand begins to worry about Mat’s behaviour. In the middle of the night Rand awakens to find Mat missing from his bed.

Searching for him, Rand finds Mat in the farm house out of sorts with his dagger drawn and surrounded by the dead bodies of the farmer and his family. But they are not alone. The Fade is also there and seeks to claim his prey for his Master. As a blackness recedes from around Mat’s lips, Rand drags him from danger. While Thom fights the Fade, Rand and Mat escape to safety. Just as the camp comes under attack from Logain’s followers to rescue him, and with the Aes Sedai tiring from the effort to bind him, Logain manages to use the True Source to break free of his prison.

He is confronted by Moirraine who still doubts that he is the Dragon and manages to delay him long enough for her sisters to restrict him again but not before Kerene, one of the Aes Sedai, is killed by his power. Sensing this death the Warders and other Aes Sedai rush to assist them and contain Logain. But his power is too great and he bursts out from the weave set around him by the Aes Sedai causing devastation and fatal injuries in their ranks; but at that moment NyNaeve, trying to save Lan from bleeding out, unleashes a new incredible power on the world!

Based on the book series The Wheel of Time created by Robert Jordan

Showrunner: Rafe Judkins

Episode Directed by: Wayne Yip

Episode Written by: Michael Clarkson and Paul Clarkson

Story Editors: Michael Clarkson and Paul Clarkson

Staff writer Celine Song

Split in different directions, the fragments of the group make their way across the world, all the while looking over their shoulders and all the while trying to anticipate each other’s movements - to return to the Two Rivers or push on East to Whitebridge and on to the White Tower.

Egwene and Perrin, are chased by wolves across the plains all the while trying to find time to rest and keep warm. At one camp Perrin is tormented again in his dreams by the Dark One as he is returned to his Blacksmith and his dead wife. But the next morning Perrin and Egwene discover the wolves have led them to tracks that head East. Following them they soon catch up with a trail of caravans of the Tuatha’an - the travelling folk - who bring them into their circle for food, rest and safety.

Rand and Mat stumble across a mining town called Breen’s Spring, where they head to the local Inn with enough money for food and a tarp. Here they are introduced to a gleeman called Thomdril Merrilin, who gives the two friends some very useful and expensive life lessons. The helpful serving lady Dana gives them work in exchange for food and shelter. But Mat has become increasingly irritant and is reluctant to help Rand with the jobs. At the back of his mind is the glowing purple rock and thoughts of other plunder that he intends to make from the dead body of an Aiel strung up on the way into town.

With his jobs finished Rand soon discovers that the helpful Dana has not so helpful plans for himself and Mat. Dana’s dreams tell her the importance of the five companions to the Dark One. Having called on a fade, Mat interrupts Darkfriend Dana’s plans and they manage to escape with the help of Thomdril who kills the Dark friend before offering to take them East! Elsewhere,

Moiraine and Lan find help in an unexpected and unwanted quarter as NyNaeve uses her skills as a Wisdom to treat the wound on Moiraine’s shoulder. Lan treats her warily after she tries to run him through and he is also disconcerted that she could track the group from Twin Rivers. But her talents are not enough and Lan manages to get Moiraine to her Aes Sedai sisters for help.

But these Aes Sedai are transporting a dangerous cargo, a man who has proclaimed himself the Dragon Reborn!

With Trollocs on their heels, Chris and John team up for the first time to discuss The Wheel of Time Episode 2 "Shadow's Waiting" in full spoiler filled detail.

The Wheel of Time Episode 2 "Shadow's Waiting" Synopsis and Details

Based on the book series The Wheel of Time created by Robert Jordan

Showrunner: Rafe Judkins

Episode Directed by: Uta Briesewitz

Episode Written by: Amanda Kate Shuman

Story Editors: Michael Clarkson and Paul Clarkson

Staff writer: Celine Song

Relentlessly pursued by Trollocs, Rand, Mat, Perrin and Egwene flee from the Two Rivers as they race to get to the White Tower at Tar Valon. At Taren Ferry the group manage a temporary reprieve from their hunters as they make it to safety, crossing the deep river of Taren. 

Once across the river, Moiraine destroys the ferry to prevent the Trollocs crossing, but this leads to the death of the Ferryman. Moiraine’s apparent lack of concern for his death makes the four companions become increasingly unsure of their rescuers and differing opinions reveal cracks between the villagers.

That night as the group set camp to catch their breath, Moiraine wound and use of the True Source begin to take their toll; but she also begins to teach Egwene about the oath of the Aes Sedai and reveals Egwene’s ability to touch the True Power. But other magic is at play that night as all four villagers experience the same disturbing dream as they are visited by a dark figure with eyes like embers.

Shaken and on edge, Rand challenges Moiraine and Lan asking them what their true intentions are for taking them to Tar Valon causing further disagreements in the group. But later that day, with Moiraine seriously weakened from her injury, the group must run for their lives as the Fade and its Trollocs finally catch up with them.

To escape, Lan employs a desperate tactic as they take shelter in the abandoned city of Aridahl. Now known as Shadar Logoth, the Trollocs dare not enter.  That night as the others sleep Mat is woken up by noises and investigates. Outside in the street he notices what appears to be the shadow of a man, following it he is led to a small room where he discovers an ornate dagger with a ruby at its hilt, which he takes.

Meanwhile the travellers horses are spooked as the shadows begin to lengthen in the city, suddenly one of the horses is consumed and turned to ash by the shadow. As the darkness spreads it separates the group as they flee to escape the city and the encroaching shadow. Rand and Mat make it to safety as do Egwene and Perrin but the group is split. 

Separately, Lan manages to carry Moiraine to safety, as her health fades, but as Lan stops to see what he can do a blade is pressed to his neck!

Written by: Justine Juel Gillmer

Directed by: Sanaa Hamri

Spoiler Filled Synopsis

Mat is abducted from Cairhien by Lanfear and brought to Ishamael in Falme, where he drinks a tea that supposedly shows him who he really is. 

Nynaeve and Elayne manage to use the a'dam to take a sul'dam captive after learning from Loial that only sul'dams can approach the kennels where Egwene is held. 

Perrin and Aviendha meet up with two other Aiel warriors, Bain and Chiad, who join them in their journey to Falme. 

In Cairhien, Rand is brought to Siuan Sanche, who takes him captive, intending to use him as a weapon against the Dark One. 

Barthanes is revealed to be a Darkfriend, and tasked by Liandrin with killing Moiraine, but Anvaere uncovers the plot and locks him in a cell. 

Lan learns from Logain that Ishamael didn't still Moiraine, but shielded her. Rand persuades Lanfear to help him get to Falme, and she assaults the Foregate to distact Siuan, allowing Moiraine and Lan to escape with Rand, who uses the One Power to cut the shield around Moiraine, allowing her to channel again. 

Siuan finds them as they are about to leave Cairhien through a Waygate, but she is ambushed by Lanfear, who easily defeats her and opens the gate, allowing Rand, Moiraine and Lan to leave for Falme.

Spoiler Filled Synopsis

In Tel'aran'rhiod, Lanfear tries to convince Rand to join her by promising to protect him from Ishamael, while Rand asks her to prove that they at least had a connection from the previous months together when Lanfear posed as Selene. Lanfear accepts by showing him that Egwene is imprisoned in Falme, and provided one condition is met: He must abandon Moiraine, otherwise she will kill Moiraine if she ever sees them together again. Rand leaves Moiraine and prepares to leave Cairhein (KAI-REIGN) for Falme to rescue Egwane.

At the same time, Mat and Min arrive in Cairhien, and Rand and Mat meet in the Foregate, catching up on their adventures. Rand tells Mat that Egwene has been captured in Falme and they agree to go off to Falme together. But Min warns Mat that Ishamael intends for him to go to Falme with Rand, where he may try to kill Rand. This causes Mat to avoid leaving with Rand, who starts off to Falme on his own. 

Before he can leave Cairhein he is intercepted by Lan, Alanna, and her warders, who tell him they can't let him leave. While at the same time Suian Sanche, the Amyrlin Seat, who arrived in Cairhien with Lan, summons Moiraine for an audience after Lan warns the Amyrlin of Moiraine's actions and the Dragon reborn. 

Back in Falme, Renna, a Sul'dam, begins the ritual to break Egwene and make her understand that she is not a woman, not an Aes Sedai only a Damane, a magic user who needs to be leashed and controlled by Renna through the a'dam, a collar used to control Damane. Renna demonstrates begins to slowly ramp up her physical and psychological torture to break her. 

Elsewhere in the city of Falme, Nynaeve and Elayne are in hiding with Ryma, an Aes Sedai and her warder Basan. As they pass the hours away confined indoors, they try to understand a stolen a'dam collar to rescue Egwene. But in channeling the One Power, Nynaeve channels too much during their attempts to open the collar, giving their location away to the Seanchan, who come for them. Ryma and her warder fight the Seanchan to protect Elayne and Nynaeve, but Basan is killed and Ryma is captured and collared.

Based on the book series The Wheel of Time created by Robert Jordan

Showrunner: Rafe Judkins

Written by: Rohit Kumar

Directed by: Maja Vrvilo

Spoiler Filled Synopsis

Perrin and Hopper leave Elyas to save his pack - Loial and the Seanchan, but on the way Perrin is directed by Hopper to the town Atuan Mill where they were previously attacked by the Schenchean forces. As he looks to find Uno to bury him he meets an Aiel Aviendha and a man named Dain who warns him off going near the Aiel. 

Perrin soon discovers that the town has been reclaimed from the Schenchean by the Whitecloaks led by Dain Bornhald and Eamon Valda. Perrin decides to leave and en route releases Aviendha from her cage, but as they make their escape are surrounded by Whitecloaks led by Dain. In the ensuing fight Aviendha shows her fighting prowess but is forced to spare Bornhald’ life by Perrin. As they make their way to Falme to save Loial, Aviendha pledges to help him rescue the others. 

Meanwhile, Lady Suroth is demoted for disobeying the orders of the Seanchan High Commander Turak, but Ishamael gains his favour by delivering him the Horn of Valere, a great weapon that will ensure victory for the Schenchean. As Ishmael and Suroth plot he sends her out to receive his gifts of Nyanaeve, Elayne and Egwene from Liandrin. 

It becomes clear that Ishmael intends to use them to gain further favour in the Schenchean court as they are destined to become Demane. As the novices are handed over and Liandrin leaves, Elayne and Nynaeve manage to escape and are rescued from capture by Ryma, an Aes Sedai hiding in Falme. Egwene is leashed and presented to Turak by Suroth, who collars her binding her to a Sul’Dan.

Verin arrives at the White Tower and working with Yassica investigates the disappearance of the three girls, which draws suspicion on Liandrin’s cover story and leads her to evidence for the existence of the Black Ajah at Tar Valon, Aes Sedai sworn to the dark. 

Elsewhere, Rand and Moiraine escape Lanfear, fleeing back to Cairhein and are taken in with Anvaere and her son Barthanes, who is delighted to have his Aunty back after 20 years. But, Moirraine’s intention is to put distance between themselves and Lanfear, realising the danger that she has put her family in, until Anavere gives her sister some of Moirraine’s own advice that she once gave her. 

Moirraine decides to stay at House Damodred and have Rand enter Tel'aran'rhiod, the realm of dreams, where he might be able to learn what Ishamael is planning. Upon entering, Rand finds himself immediately captured by a waiting Lanfear.
