Season Update: Download “The Wheel of Time” Season 2 Episode 7 = The Great Escape

The conflict between Moiraine and her girlfriend and boss, Siuan Sanche, over the fate of Rand al’Thor, now known to the Aes Sedai brain trust as the Dragon Reborn. It’s a pretty simple conflict, really. Siuan, known by the honorific the Amyrlin Seat, is upset that Moiraine failed to disclose that her power was taken away by Ishamael because guarding the Dragon Reborn in the field while Siuan prepped the Aes Sedai to follow him had always been their deal ever since a mentor of theirs had a psychic vision of Rand’s birth in her dying moments. Without access to the One Power, Moiraine failed to train him adequately and left him vulnerable to the Dark. (Just how vulnerable, Siuan will soon learn to her misfortune.)
