Welcome back! In this episode we stick with the two main plotlines: Perrin in the Two Rivers and Rand, Mat & Egwene in the Waste.

Perrin is starting to come into his own, giving orders to respected Two Rivers elders, barking at Aes Sedai and organising the farm folk against the dual assault of Whitecloaks and Trollocs. He also puts Slayer in his place and it all just feels... right. And everyone agrees!

Rand and Mat emerge from Rhuidean to, well, not exactly exultation and fanfare. In fact, it's downright hostility from the get-go, even from Aviendha. But Rand knows what needs doing and sets his own path now. 

Mat. Wonderful, cocky Mat. Always ready to lighten the mood. Bless him.
