New Spring is gaining momentum as Siuan and Moiraine take further steps to find the Dragon Reborn.  Traci and Amber recap these two chapters which end with Moiraine feeling hounded by several prominent Aes Sedai who hint at her taking the throne of Cairhien after the death of her uncles leaves a power vacuum with no set person to fill it.  Moiraine feels her hesitation at being tested for the shawl vanish as she realizes the best way to avoid the manipulations of Aes Sedai is to become one herself.

We were also sent a clip from our friend Robert, this time asking us how we felt about the direction of the show taking a more polyamourous approach as opposed to polygamous relationship among Rand, Elayne, Min, and Aviendha.  He also sent us the answer to the contraception question we posed last week. Thanks, Robert!

Next week we will be discussing the Forsaken! The goal is to have a spoiler free episode that focuses on the history of the Forsaken and how they found themselves swearing their souls to the Dark One.
