The three groups of travelers, Rand and Mat encounter a Darkfriend, Dana, who tries to betray them, but they are saved by the gleeman, Thom Merrilin, Egwene and Perrin join a caravan of people called the Tinkers, Lan and Moiraine are found by Nynaeve and the Aes Sedai Liandrin who has found a man calling himself the Dragon Reborn! The city of Ghealdan burns and soldiers are trying to evacuate the king (Miguel Alvarez) from the army of Logain (Alvar Morte), the so called Dragon Reborn! He starts to channel the One Power and shatters spears thrown by soldiers. Then, Logain sends the black energy at them! The wounded king collapses, he has a wicked shoulder injury, and he is confronted by Logain who doesn’t want his silver crown.
The king has called for Aes Sedai from the White Tower. Logain hears the voice of a woman, Elusha Salid (Rebecca Tanwen), who urges Logain to kill the king. The king in turn draws a dagger, but is held by the One Power. Instead, the king is forced to drop the dagger, and the One Power heals his wound. Logain offers the king to join him and plans to heal the world. Nynaeve is on a rock overhang of the Aes Sedai camp, Lan eyes her, before checking of Moiraine being healed from her poisoned shoulder wound. She is attended by Aes Sedai sister, Kerene (Clare Perkins), who is weak. Kerene explains it from shielding the One Power from the false Dragon, along with Liandrin and Alanna. She takes Moiraine to see him, caged, in a cave.
Liandrin explains that they reached him in his camp to shield him and used lightning to scare off his followers. Also there is Alanna (Priyanka Bose). Kerene has placed wards to detect anyone approaching their camp. Kerene says the Amyrlin Seat, head of the White Tower commanded them to bring this Dragon to them. Moiraine offers to shield Logain for Liandrin sending out white threads that bind him. Outside, Lan practices his swordwork with fellow Warder, Stepin (Peter Franzin), who wields two axes. This is a great introduction to the Aes Sedai in the White Tower before they reach it. Stepin falls in line with Kerene. At her tent, Kerene and Stepin talk, they have a more relaxed relationship than Lan and Moiraine. An excellent contrast to the other duo. Morning at the Tinker camp as they prepare to move on, young Aram invites them to go along with them to Tar Valon, the city of the White Tower.
The leader, Ila, bangs a pan, others join her, a signal that they are about to travel. In a forest, Thom leads Perrin and Rand on horseback, Rand and Perrin stop for a bit to ask if they can trust Thom. Perrin brings up that one of the five villagers could be the Dragon and wonders about the fifth, which would be Nynaeve. Logain is sitting silently with his eyes closed. Nynaeve watches him as she talks to Alanna who has chosen to be a Green Ajah, an Aes Sedai who will fight the Dark One in the Last Battle. Logain disturbs the One Power and the Aes Sedai reinforce their shielding. Liandrin goes to talk to Nynaeve, but she asks back about Moiraine. A farmer (Pacha Bocarie) has surprised Thom, Rand, and Perrin, he has an arrow nocked to his bow. Rand calms him down and the farmer lowers his bow. His wife (Jennifer K Preston) and son (David Dvorschik) both have arrows nocked to their bows, but lower them at the farmer’s question.
Liandrin explains that Moiraine is Blue Ajah, who fight for justice, kinda like the Jedi Guardians who carry blue lightsabers. Lan joins them so Liandrin leaves and he says to Nynaeve that either they find the other villagers at the White Tower or they will be able to find them from there. Traveling, Perrin asks how the nomads are able to defend themselves, Ila says they follow the Way of the Leaf, try to escape or survive. Ila asks Perrin if he used a weapon and he is silent. Night, Rand and Mat are cleaning out the stables as Thom waits outside. Mat leaves, vomits some black stuff, and then sees a young girl (Robyn Betteridge) who offers him bread for the work. He tells her about his sisters and the girl gives him a doll to take to his sisters. I don’t think the doll will break the curse from the dagger! Thom tells Rand that Mat has all of the signs of a Dragon Reborn like his nephew, Owyn, who was taken by the Aes Sedai. Logain is a dangerous individual, his power may threaten the Aes Sedai, so the question of what will happen to a person with the One Power is answered in this episode of Wheel of Time!
Four Ter'angreal out of Five!
