The Wheel of Time - A Question of Crimson

As the journey of Rand al’Thor (Josha Stradowski) and the others towards the Ariel Waste moves slowly, largely drama free (other than bad dreams) before arriving at the edge of the Wastes at the close of the episode, there's more drama elsewhere. Following the events at the White Tower, Morgase Trakand (Olivia Williams) arrives with plans of removing her daughter Elayne (Ceara Coveney) and returning her home. Elayne convinces her mother to stay, although she also leaves behind a few new faces in the tower in her sons and Siuan's (Sophie Okonedo) old rival Elaida (Shohreh Aghdashloo). Meanwhile, Siuan gives Elayne and Nynaeve (Zoë Robins) a new assignment within the Tower to root out any others in league with the Black Ajah. And Perrin (Marcus Rutherford) and the others arrive back at the Two Rivers only to discover it isn't the home he remembers now plagued by both Trollocs and Whitecloaks (the latter of which have deemed him an enemy).

Following the big events of the previous episode, the second foreshadows new challenges for the White Tower as Morgase leaves without her daughter, but not without a threat should anything befall her. Perrin barely arrives home before he and his companions have to into hiding. His solution to the problem, I doubt, will end well for any of the travelers. And in terms of the journey of the Dragon Reborn, the one moment worth noting is a conversation between Rand and Moiraine Damodred (Rosamund Pike) about his desire to use the power which sounds like an addiction which, inevitably, will lead to the dark future Egwene (Madeleine Madden) foresaw.
