Lan makes his way through Fal Dara. He senses that Nynaeve is following him. He continues until he gets to a door and knocks on it. He enters and exchanges warm greetings with a family. Nynaeve moves closer so that she can see in through the windows. Lan and the family settle down for dinner. Lan senses that Nynaeve is still outside, so he leaves around back and sneaks up behind her, surprising her. He invited her inside to join him and she accepts.

After dinner, Lan and Nynaeve walk back together to his door. After a long silence, he bids her goodnight and goes into his room. About a minute later Nynaeve opens his door and enters. She asks him if he wants her to go and he kisses her in response. They then share an intimate moment.

Rand is practicing archery when Egwene approaches him, saying she waited an hour for him to come and apologize. He says he knows she will come to him when she's ready to talk. He apologizes for thinking that there was something between her and Perrin, but she says she's mad at him for thinking that she doesn't care about Mat. He encourages her to go to the White Tower for training and says that he'd be her Warder. She promises to stand by him if he's the Dragon Reborn.

Scene 16 - Dai Shin#

In Lan's room, he is asleep and Nynaeve is putting her braid back together. He wakes up and notices that she's preparing to leave. She asks him why he is called Dai Shin. He explains that it's the title for future kings of Malkier, but that doesn't matter anymore since Malkier was taken by the Blight when he was a child. He says that his family was killed and he was smuggled out the night the Blight took over. The family he visited last night were the ones who smuggled him out and brought him to Fal Dara. She says she now understands that he bonded with Moiraine for a sense of belonging. He tells her that Moiraine does not own her the same way the rest of the Two Rivers group does not own her. He then asks her to stay the rest of the night.

Scene 17 - The Dragon Reborn#

Rand and Egwene are in bed, with her asleep and him staring at the ceiling. He gets out of bed and heads towards the archery range. We start seeing flashbacks and other memories

By the end, he's hitting the bull's eye with every arrow.

Scene 18 - Something Impossible#

Rand walks into Min's tavern where she's closing up. He asks her to tell him that he's not the Dragon Reborn, which she does. She then says for him to look her in the eye and tell her that he wants to know what she has to say. She tell him about the first vision she ever had, which was a man in armor carrying Rand's heron-marked blade.

We switch back to the scene in the cold open, with Tam helping Tigraine give birth, and her dying soon afterwards. Min continues, saying she saw a baby born on the slopes of Dragonmount, with Tam raising this child in the Two Rivers and that the baby was "something impossible."

Rand asks Min what she sees now, and she answers "rainbows, carnivals and three beautiful women." He also asks her if he makes it back from the Eye of the World, but she doesn't answer and just grabs a bottle and stands up.

Scene 19 - It's Me#

It's morning and Egwene knocks on Nynaeve's door. When there's no answer, she goes inside and sees no one is in there and the bed is completely made. Nynaeve comes in shortly thereafter. Nynaeve apologizes to Nynaeve for stirring things up with the Two Rivers folk. Perrin enters next and closes the door behind him. Nynaeve asks them what they have decided to do and they both want to go to the Eye of the World. Egwene asks where Rand is and Perrin says he assumed he was with her.

Rand knocks on Moiraine's door. When she opens it, he tells her that he's the Dragon Reborn.

Lan knocks on Nynaeve's door. Nynaeve opens it and he comes in. He tells everyone that Moiraine has masked their bond. Egwene realizes that Moiraine and Rand have left together for the Blight.
