How come you never see anyone going to the bathroom, then?

Heck,Thronesalum Dave Hill wrote this episode!

Really well at that!)

Lan taking a pee break in the middle of a cookout is right in line with that.

Its a better show for it.

But then, its a better show in general now.

Remember the cynical noblewoman who warned Rand that the aristocrats in this town are a tricky bunch to master?

Anvaere isnt above lording this over her sister, who, lets face it, is a real asshole.

Far away, Perrin has picked up a family of his own, or a pack at any rate.

Its a real put-your-hand-on-your-heart-and-say-awwmoment.

Egwene is having much more trouble than Hopper is when it comes to connecting with a grieving friend.

It wasnt real, she says.

None of it was real.

Linandrin winds up walloping them all with the One Power, leaving their fates unknown.

Those fates could be very dark indeed given what we learn of Liandrin in this episode.

Knowingly or not, shes in cahoots with Ishamael, chief of the Forsaken.

Turns out shes planning to use Ishamael to get that job done.

I dont know what this says about Liandrin, ultimately.

Im not sure how you square this with her being in league with the dark.

(I could see them getting along, actually.)

(He looks so good with his head shaved that you could hardly blame her.)

Fortunately for Rand (or unfortunately?

You cant kill a Forsaken that way.

(Thats Bond-speak for a pattern.)

After two back-to-back winners, next week, then, is a make-or-break moment for this show.

Light be with it.
