The Wheel of Time: Daes Dae’Mar Pity – Season 2 – Episode 7 – RECAP

December 5, 2023 SkipTvAds

Episode Seven has start an event I was waiting for some time, everyone including Rand and Egwene start using their powers at will, there is one thing I never consider is that Moiraine will recover her ability to connect again with the one power, not only that its exciting to see all this characters using their powers there is also Lanfear trying to show Rand she cares for him although it is still not clear when and where her “love” for Rand, The Dragon; goes off the cliff, they keep saying its always the same story that never ends and never change, Lanfear herself mention it “after 3000 years here I am…” when she was trying to help Rand escape, she is so powerful she feels been there creating a distraction for Rand is a waste of her time but she still did it because she loves Rand although he doesn’t remember anything from his previous life.

There is also a good amount of the episode that gives more details about Siuan and Moiraine love story, on season one there was an episode that shows them sneaking out to a small house next to the river, I always ask myself why was that and where was that, but this episode gives more context of why they sneak out and where, things have change drastically when Siuan finds out Rand is the Dragon and Moiraine kept him from her and The White Tower, Siuan is piss at her badly to the point she demands as her superior and not as the women once loved her.

Let me tell you Moiraine looks so weird smiling, specially with such a big simile, all her teeth showing, for the most part on season one and two she have never laugh or smile like that I can remember, her dream and hope was to be with Siuan, get out of the tower and start a life together now that the ongoing war is over, Siuan thought the same but something more quiet, a house next to the river like she had when she was child, her dad’s house, Moiraine even call herself Siaun Fishwife, I really don’t give two fucks if the series was trying to push a message or not, it is very entertaining. It was at this point on her life that Moiraine would be destine to find the Dragon after she hold on her hands Sister Gitara, Ais Sedai; who had a vision of The Dragon Reborn, it was Rand’s mother giving birth after battling for her life caring him inside.

This scene they divided in like three parts but mostly was Rand trying to be tough but at the same time docile, he finally meet with Amyrlin Seat, Siuan Seday, after all this entire party is for him, I wonder how much of his power will he be using on this season because he has no control over it, he is suppose to be the most powerful of them all but when ever he tries to use his powers it consume him, in this scene Siuan cut the bullshit and tells him straight up that The White Tower has rules and procedures, one of them put The Dragon in a cage and use him as a weapon to this Rand tries to fight back but it only took her a single wave of her hand to put him on his knees, at his point he has the potential but no control over his powers I think he cant even beat Moiraine on a one on one fight.

Moiraine is called by Siuan, she kept Rand from everyone else with the assumption that The White Tower was corrupt so she must kept him out of danger until he was ready, this got her no where, she “lost” her powers, Rand was found first by Lanfear and he cant even beat Siuan so they have got no where and Siuan feels the same, its time for things been done The White Tower way.

Source

It is true that I have mention on this post how Rand has no control over his powers but he now has discover a way to communicate with Lanfear without having to actually sleep?? Lanfear is a dream walker, she can enter anyone’s dream and kill him if she wanted. Rand is send to the dungeon to keep prisoner until Siuan says, he is been watch by Leane Sedai and at this point Moiraine still can’t use her powers so there is no way out for Rand until he ask for Lanfear help, she is so fkn hot on her leather dress, obviously she accept to help him escape but not after a little foreplay, she likes to be “manipulated” by him like she wants him to be in charge but its not his time, things might be different in the future and this is when I think Rand will be tempted by the dark side, once he is able to fully control his powers, makes me think that at some point he will have his doubts and might side with Lanfear.

Source

After I’m done with this season I might rewatch the entire thing including season one because I think I’m missing when may be Moiraine or some one else explain why Lanfear wants Rand so badly, at first I thought it was for his powers or to kill him but that was never the case, that time Moiraine cut Lanfear throat at the cabin she was about to do something with Rand, he was tied up to the bed but then Moiraine show up and ruin the hole thing, Lanfear creates the perfect distraction and set the town on fire so Rand could escape, Siuan had to team up with other sisters and create rain to put off the fire.

Source

For the most part this episode was pure action, it was all about Lanfear, Rand, Moiraine and Siuan trying to make things work out, well except Lanfear she will just go with Rand but things went south when Siuan got Moiraine against the wall.

When Rand finally got the time to look at Moiraine and knew that her powers were taking he saw something in her, Ishamael put some sort of tie, a spell; that limits her so she could not use the one power and he had to gently destroy it, as they explain it was risky because if he use too much power could kill her but that was the boring part, it was Moiraine reaction to feel the power again that was really cool, it was a mid point of happy, cry and laughing at the same time, she opens a gateway, portals to travel through space and time; old dark passage, the moment Siuan caught them she force Moiraine to close it against her will using her power but everything came down for Siuan when Lanfear appears, I think Siuan is been blind by the fact that she is the Amyrlin Seat and by the White Tower laws, I don’t want to say power got her overestimate Rand and Lanfear but its actually lack of understanding of what she is dealing, who she is dealing with, she thought could beat Lanfear and got drag around like it was nothing, falling and had to watch Lanfear open the gateway with Rand and Moiraine following her, WTF she must be thinking at that moment, who would have knowing a forsaken, the dragon and Aes Sedai getting into a gateway.

Source

In between this entire awesome episode that got an 8.2/10, anything above 8 is fucking great; the cherry on top was Egwene, Rena and her got to a training session, there were a few things that got my attention, when they were about to execute an attack Rena told her “don’t worry for this one I dont need anything from you” then Egwene explodes in power creating a huge expansion wave but the BEST part probably from the entire episode is when Egwene told Rena TO HER FACE, wearing her collar “I will kill you”, this is HUGE, the reason is because women wearing the A’dam can not even THINK about hurting the one holding the leach, the fact that Egwene was able to do this says a lot of her power, how she had dominate and control her feelings, mind and powers is insane.

As usual WOT episodes end up on long posts, there were a few things that I try to resume from this one, now that I’m changing the format of my posts I try to bring a more graphic representation of my writing and I really enjoy but its way more work than previous posts, for those who support my content I really appreciate it.

This episode was crazy and from what I have seen the next, last episode is probably even better; finally every one is going to meet at Falme for the final of this season, I wonder who dies, I have to assume Lanfear doesn’t because I think she will stay close to Rand until he is able to control his powers, so far seems that season three is on its way for 2024, now that Moiraine has her powers back things are going to change drastically but for how long she will stay close to Rand, after all Lanfear hates her.

Perry side story is still very insignificant for the main story but has become way more interesting than it was, same goes for Mat but those two are characters to fill up.

From all the TV series of 2023, WOT season two had the most dramatic come back in a season after people were constantly complaining for the first half how slow, boring, it was, while I was on the other side of the fence thinking this is going to get wild towards the end and it did.

The Wheel of Time: Eyes Without Pity – Season 2 – Episode 6 – RECAP

November 8, 2023 SkipTvAds

I don’t think, I’m certain this is the most brutal episode I have seen on this series so far, season two of The Wheel of Time pick up the pace episode by episode, as always I’m just a regular viewer, not an expert and have no opinion about the books, I’m not the reading guy but still here I’m writing a blog.

On episode two you will fell the pain and agony of some of the characters, I think at some point even Rand shows how impotent he feels with all this power but still has no clue how to use it or control it, on the other hand there is Egwene how now has a better understanding how to weave and use The One Power but unfortunately she falls into the hands of the Seanchan, given as a Damane to Renna who now controls the leash and now way to escape from her d’ama, a device so powerful that can’t be broken and looks like it feeds from the power of the damane protecting the sul’dam, the one holding the leash in this case Renna, I mention all this about Egwene because she is the one that turns the jets on this episode.

Episode six is like the season exploded in pieces, like it was holding so much information and now even though there are scenes that only have a couple of minutes it goes one after another in an adrenaline rush that you keep asking for more drama, for more fight, more blood, more use of the one power, it is this moment when more than one character shows their power but I think the main reason is been so expose to an enemy like the Seanchan. As I mention there is a rush of feelings going on through the episode because other characters like Liandrin, Ryma, Maigan, Siuan, they all suffer one way of another, some are even torture, broken from the inside once they are under the leash, episode six is really a jewel of season two.

Source

On episode five Moiraine understood that Rand doesn’t need her protection, Selene/Lanfear is in love with him, that’s their never ending story, both are entities that reincarnate in the case of Rand although Lanfear never dies she can only be contain so she does remember every time this exact same thing happens, every time the Dragon is Reborn and at some moment in his life she meets him again, the most easy way for Rand to contact Lanfear is in the world of dreams but she feels Lanfear is going to hurt him or worst kill him, Rand is outgun at Lanfear world of dreams but he is safe, Lanfear wants him with her, for her, so he can trust her, she wont hurt him in exchange Rand ask her to help him in Ishamael to that she puts one condition, NO MOIRAINE.

Source

Lanfear explicitly tells Rand that if she sees Moiraine next to him she will kill her so he had to go away, from her house, Rand feels now that more than ever he needs to wild his power and be able to control it, some times Moiraine is a bitch too, he will visit the only man who can teach him, Logain; but then she told him SHE put him away from the Tower so he never be able to teach him but that’s not true, Logain knows now that all this happening, him and Rand at the same place its Moiraine’s work.

Source

Thanks to Moiraine now Lanfear can reach Rand anytime he sleeps, he keeps having nightmares of how he keels everyone he loves, at least that the curse of men who wild The One Power, Ishamael is also a dream walker and torment Rand but Lanfear protects him now, she even grand him a wish, she ask Rand who he would like to see and he ask for Egwene, Lanfear shows him the cell she is in, she looks beaten, no shows, desperate and Egwene can hear him but cant see him, this broke him and now is determine to safe her. Lanfear gets jealous when he ask her where Egwene is but still tells him Ishamael got her and THATS when Rand makes a pact with the devil, he tells Lanfear he will do anything to rescue her basically asking Lanfear help me and I’m yours.

Source

Talking about making pacts with the devil there are a few rules, first rule is you can’t take it back if you try you will suffer the concurrences and most of the time before you get what you ask for you will go through a series of extreme suffering that will leave a permanent mark in your soul.

Source

This is exactly what happens to Liandrin when Lanfear pays her a visit, I think Lanfear doesn’t know all the details of Ishamael plans and knows Liandrin is working for him, although the oath was not to Ishamael but to the Dark, she kills Liandin’s son Aludran in front of her, a way to bully the powerful Liandrin, showing her she is not on the same league as Lanfear, then she tells Liandrin “there are many paths to walk through the night” , I think what she is trying to tell Liandrin is that she doesn’t work for Ishamael but for the Dark, in this case Liandrin represents the Dark Power while Ishamael is just a messenger, I’m sure Lanfear is doing all this to help Rand, Lanfear is on the same side as Ishamael but doesn’t work with or for him.

Source

Lets get to the meat and potatoes of episode six, Renna and Egwene. Renna is a Seanchaw in Falme, I always say I’m ok with inconsistencies and in this case looking up who was Renna I find out a particular fact online about the book, Renna held Egwene leash after she was collar and on the series she let Egwene kept her name but on the book she didn’t she change Egwene name to Tuli and some other details that are different in the story, point been Renna was Egwene’s d’man who really wanted to be on Egwene good side so they can be one making them the strongest couple in the entire army but Egwene refuse and kept trying to release her.

Source

Renna kept trying to be on Egwene good side and one day show her how powerful they can be together, that was the first time they channel together, Renna must have some kind of power too, probably she cant channel as Egwene but there is something between them or its just the collar and the leash that creates the bridge between them, Egwene felt it but she also felt something else and I think it was Renna help, I still believe that she can some how channel but may be they were not though how to. On the series not many details are given on how exactly the a’dam work only the obvious.

Source

The A’dam is design to protect the one holding the leash, you know how you can also sin of though, well the a’dam very well brings that to life, the Damane cant get her hands on anything she thinks can use to damage her sul’dam, Renna test for Egwene was very simple, serve me a glass of water, Egwene constantly failed, she has to be pure of though before she can even serve Renna a glass of water, on the next cell was Maigan Sedai who was send by the Amyrlin Seat to scout the Seanchan but eventually got caught and collar, she mention how Egwene lasted more than her and she was a Blue Ajah, to become a Damane they have to be pure of though against her sul’dam, this break Egwene soul the moment she was able to serve Renna a glass of water.

Source

When Nynaeve and Elayne escape from High Lady Suroth after been betrayed by Liandrin, they went after Egwene ending in Falme where Ryma Sedai got them first before the Seanchaw army who was looking for them through the city and kept patrolling the city looking for any infiltrates, Nynaeve tells Ryma about Liandrin how she is friends with the dark and have broken her oath, she also tells about Egwene been collar and want to rescue but Ryma makes them aware of the collar that so far no one have broke out of it, the three Ryma, Nynaeve and Elayne channel together without pushing too much power into the collar so others Damane cant detect them, the only one who felt something more was Nynaeve she actually understand the collar, its like the collar is ill or curse and the only way to be fix or heal is by putting it to a women, in this case a women that channel and it CAN NOT be broken.

Source

The local patrol discover their hide out, they felt the power, both Ryma and her warden Basan sacrifice themself trying to stop the Seanchan before they discover Nynaeve and Elayne, this fight was also very brutal both when Ryma explode in tears after Basan was killed, how she almost turn into a ball the Sul’dan that killed him but they were out number, after so long she finally would join her sister Maigan Sedai after been collar.

Source

Rand is about to go to Falme and rescue Egwene, he knows Ishamael will be waiting for him that’s why he got his hands on Egwene, probably he was only willing to get Nynaeve and drag Rand to flame after capturing her through Liandrin but he end up with Egwene that would still work for him, Rand visits Logain so he could teach him how to channel but its too little time and too soon, channeling is something that takes time and in the case of Rand he needs to be very careful if you will blow into dust after taking too much power, on this scene Logain only tells him the start but Rand goes further taking too much power and ends up puking, this was very lame in my opinion because right after this he decides to still rescue Egwene knowing he is no match for Ishamael and has no control over his powers.

Source

Mat is now in Cairhien after Min brought him, she was instructed by Liandrin and Ishamael in exchange she ask him to get rid of her visions, all her life her visions were curse that make her life miserable after been used as a fortune teller since she was a kid, not only that but seen other people die before they even get to know each other, she saw Mat killing Rand and still betray him. Mat and Rand found each other in the streets on Cairhein then had a drink but Rand had to tell him the truth because he was in a hurry, so both agree to got to Falme and rescue Egwene, another stupid idea, the two will safe Egwene from a place flooded by Seanchan besides the fact that is Ishamael is waiting for them.

Source

Mat agrees with Rand to meet at the gate in one hour, before Mat leaves with Rand he visits Min to let her know but she is drunk, she was visited by Ishamael, he ask her to make sure Mat leaves with Rand and realize they both know about her vision, Ishamael break their deal and ask her to do this one last thing, she gets drunk and when Mats get to tell her he is leaving with Rand tells him the truth, Mats is broken, after loosing everything and his friends he is and feels betrayed by Min who he truly consider a friend, Mat doesn’t have a good record when feeling down, the last time he felt this way end up been consume by the dark power inside a knife and that’s what I thought it was going to happen because Min vision is that Mat kills Rand with the knife but no body knows when, where and why, Mat gets pissed off and leaves the room but never left Cairhein with Rand who after waiting more than an hour decides to leave without Mat.

Source

The Amyrlin Seat, Siaun Sanche, leader of the Aes Sedai arrive to Cairhein after Lan confess to her about Moiraine plans that she have found The Dragon Reborn, he betray Moiraine trust by doing this but he was trying to protect her from herself, Moiraine was decided to die if necessary to protect Rand but without the help of The White Tower, she didn’t want them to cage him like an animal and use him as a weapon, when The Amyrlin Seat knows she put together fourteen Aes Sedai in Cairhein a very unusual move but her plan is to capture Rand for this she brings all her sister’s power in case Rand turns out to be more skill than she thought.

I have seen longer posts on Hive but this is a new record for me, not all of this is part of my imagination as I’m just giving my opinion on the different scenes. Episode six of The Wheel of Time feels as I mention, very brutal specially the scenes of Liandrin loosing her son, how Lanfear catch her Liandrin attack when she got into the room like it was nothing, that moment she knows there is no chance she can even touch Lanfear after all she is one of the most dangerous and powerful forsaken and then had to watch how Lanfear kills her son, the reason why she betray her sisters and broke her oath, because if we think about it yes Liandrin doesnt like anyone at the white tower and if it was for her she would be in charge and only Red Aes Sedai existed but wouldn’t betray them if it wasn’t for her son that was dying so seen Lanfear kill him broke Liandrin badly, Lanfear also remind her of why she doesn’t like men and its because she was force to get married very little basically abuse by men at a very young age that’s why she hate so much men specially those that can channel like Logain. All the scenes where Egwene was force against her will to obey, act and thought, was very difficult to digest, all that power contain, how she feels incapable of doing anything to get free of the collar, every time she tries to take it off, attack Renna or even get close to her or touch something she might think to use against Renna the collar push her making her twist and puke out of pain, ironically Renna kept trying to be “her friend” even showing her how powerful they can be together but at the same time treating Egwene as her powerful pet on a leash and the moment when she finally serve the cup and then screams out of her lungs. Episode six reveal many details of both sides plans:

Lan tells The Amyrlin Seat, Moiraine plans and about Rand (The Dragon Reborn)
Lanfear gets on Rand side, helping him against Ishamael
Lanfear gets Liandrin to work for her and not Ishamael
Ryma learns about Liandrin treason, even probably why her sisters got caught at Falme
- It was Liandrin who kept talking about the invation and probably why Ryma end up in Falme
Mat finally knows Min set him up to meet with Rand

It was secret after secret reveal almost every scene, not much fighting and action happen across the episode except for Ryma and her warden fighting the Seanchan army so I guess the next two episodes will have more fighting and action, even some more treason between sides, there were some scenes that I didn’t mention because I felt they were not as important, for example there as an argument between Moiraine and her sister about her been Moiraine and not giving a shit about anyone when she is busy, also how Lan was basically force to tell the truth about why he wanted to go to Cairhein that was to visit Moiraine but when Alanna and her two warden threat to kill him if he didn’t tell the truth Lan gave up so they caught up with The Amyrlin Seat, it was not on her plans to visit Cairhein and setup such a great force of all her sisters until she knew The Dragon Reborn was probably there, Lan snitching on Moiraine was very shitty of him because one way or another he betray her trust, you got to sink with the ship when it comes to trust.
