In this week's TEOTW Redux episode, Ali and Gus waffle over which of Moiraine's new charges is acting wisely and which is acting the fool; Thom and Egwene are masters of disguise, or maybe Perrin just doesn't know how to secure a perimeter; Bela proves her mettle; and a DC Superhero makes his Wheel of Time debut.

In this week's episode, Ali and Gus endure a great deal of recapping exposition; Rand doubles and triples down on his distrust of Moiraine, but does demonstrate a better understanding of the nuances of Aiel culture; some unexpected memories start surfacing for more than one character; and Mat gets more than he bargained for, but not in a bad way.

In this week's episode, Ali and Gus dive headfirst into The Fires of Heaven to find that Ali's joking prediction about the first line was absolutely correct; a curvaceous character with questionable morals is introduced; Danelle continues to drive Ali up the wall; Morgase isn't acting like herself; and Siuan, Bryne, Logain and Leane form a fleet in Ali's mind.

(Please note: in suggesting that Graendal might have a "Scarlett Johansson"-like physical appearance, we are not suggesting that Scarlett Johansson could be considered "plump" by any reasonable means, rather that, in modern popular media's warped portrayal of body images, any woman with a silhouette is lumped into the same category of "not skinny", which is of course ridiculous.)
