With only two episodes left in Season 3, The Wheel of Time is hurtling towards a climactic finale. Episode 6 set the tone for devastating conflicts, unforeseen betrayals, and significant power shifts. As Episode 7 approaches, numerous questions arise: Who will emerge victorious? What alliances will shatter? And will the forces of darkness finally gain the upper hand?
Egwene and Rand: A Relationship in Ruins?
One of the most emotionally charged moments in Episode 6 was Egwene discovering Rand’s secret entanglement with Lanfear their explosive argument left both deeply wounded, raising doubts about whether their bond can ever be restored. With Egwene reeling from the revelation, will she forgive Rand, or is this the definitive breaking point in their relationship?
Furthermore, Rand’s grief over Alsera’s death is pushing him to his limits and his desperate attempt to revive her failed, reinforcing that even the Dragon Reborn has boundaries to his power. How will this failure affect his psyche? Could his anguish drive him towards recklessness, making him an easier pawn for Lanfear—or worse, the Dark One himself?
Liandrin’s Schemes and Moghedien’s Power Grab
Liandrin’s ambitions took a hit when her suspicions about Nyomi being a spy proved incorrect, leaving her exposed to the Forsaken’s wrath. Rahvin’s true informant remains at large, meaning Episode 7 may see Liandrin scrambling to secure her position. Can she prove her loyalty to Lanfear, or will she become a liability that must be eliminated?
Meanwhile, Moghedien has struck a devastating blow—stealing the bracelet meant to control Rand while wiping Elayne and Nynaeve’s memories. With this powerful artifact now in enemy hands, the stakes have never been higher. Will Moghedien use the bracelet to ensnare Rand, forcing him under her control? Or will another player intervene before it’s too late?

On the opposing side, the Whitecloaks have grown stronger. Dain Bornhald, now commanding a larger force, is poised to launch a devastating assault on Two Rivers. With tensions mounting, will Perrin and his allies manage to defend their homeland? Or will the Whitecloaks overwhelm them, turning the tide in their favor?
Mat and Thom: A Desperate Race Against Time
Mat and his companions are on the hunt for the collar, but with one bracelet already in Moghedien’s grasp, they are at a severe disadvantage. Will they realize they’ve lost time due to the memory wipe? Can they retrieve the missing artifact before Moghedien uses it against them? The treacherous streets of Tanchico hold many secrets, and their journey is bound to become even more perilous.
