Really cool moments during Episode 5... Solomon was a riot and i could have had a full mini series of his dailylife on Beacon 23 before Halan. Now, as he abandoned Halan when he was requesting help, our protagonist was rightfully pissed and him crapping all over Solomon's cuisine was warranted and funny. The rocks finally start to reveal their secret... let's see where it leads.

Egwene putting the collar doesn't make sense though. We know that she can't touch anything she wants to use as a weapon... but she could grab it and put it around her slaver's neck? Not withcounting that she hung her by the collar but Renna couldn't attack Egwene.

Nynaeve's problem is not with the power but with the Aes Sedai. She told in season 1 the story of her mother who was turned away upon her arrival at the tower simply because of her ragged clothes and her accent. Nynaeve sees the Aes Sedai as elistist and potentially people that refused to teach her mother the power that could have saved their familly... hence the 3rd vision where Nynaeve herself doesn't have such skill but could have learned while her mother wasn't given the choice.

Maybe Yennefer wants to buy a free pass to nilfgaard and the knight may be her ticket. As it is the only place she knows where they study forbidden magic, she may think she could regain her power there.

They did not leave him behind, he plunged directly to his death.

I changed "riding" to "walking" because valid point there, but - Perrin knows about the knife as well - he joked about it when they all met up. Since he wasn't there during the knife removal, someone must have told him. That someone could only have been one of two people - Egwene and Loial. (Perrin was asleep during Moiraine's visit.) He didn't meet up with any of the others until they reached the gate. So, for Perrin to know, either Loial or Egwene or both also know. Presumably Loial since he was at the inn, but Nynaeve or Moiraine could have said something to Egwene during the Siuan meeting. So it's not just Moiraine, Rand and Nynaeve. It's: Moiraine Lan (he was there when she was pulling black stuff out of the knife, and helping hold Mat down) Rand (same) Perrin (not there, but dialogue indicates someone told him) Nynaeve (not there, but presumably demanded an explanation) Either Loial or Egwene (also not there, but presumably got an explanation from Rand, Moiraine and/or Nynaeve.) Which is to say, almost the entire group knows about Mat and the Evil Knife. And Rand was explicitly told to keep an eye on Mat. So are they there to babysit Mat? No. But given that a) they don't know if Mat is the Dragon or one of the Dragons, and they need the Dragon at wherever they are going, and b) most of them do know about the evil dagger, they absolutely should have been keeping an eye on him and making sure that the entire group was coming along. And that's even leaving aside that just a couple months ago, they saw what happened to someone left behind: the Taren Ferry guy. Things didn't go well for him. You are making my point for me: only Moiraine, Rand and Nynaeve REALLY knew about it, the rest has briefly heard of it and you and some other viewers are making of it a bigger deal than those characters have any reason or time to affort.

No one rode into the gate they were already all in front of it. Only Moraine, Rand and Nynaeve really knew about it. The former was occupied opening the gate and leading the way, the other two discovering, overcoming their own fear and making their own choice to move forward or not. And again they are not there to baby-sit Mat, ultimately he makes his own choices.

Not sure what you are getting at. Unless you know something for having read the books, what do you want people to do?

It's interesting, I took that scene as the baddies experimenting to give themselves powers.

Any info related to this story but not coming from the show.

I wasn't sure because what Powder sees is not very reliable. VI would have been lying in the flames an awful long time, if there were even flames there at all. The "flying skateboard" gang attacks VI later in the next episode, so much for loyalty. One of the telling signs of the scene is the "Vi" that Powder sees is of a much smaller frame than Powder and can't even handle her grip.

I'm pretty sure the woman was their Dark Mother Hecate, which would mean that it is in her realm that Sabrina and Nick end up.

Very good episode. I wonder if the death of Lilith has anything to do with the warden situation.

Five said he had read Vanya's book (where she gives out all their secrets). As for the farm, we know they have horses and cows at the very least and Carl's parents owned a farm (barn) in California. It is possible that they rent it out to other farmers...

Thank you! This was confusing me so very much lol. Young looking Five is the one who made the portal. He may have kept the miscalculation on purpose in order not to alter the timeline.
