The Wheel of Time: Episode 4 Review

This episode begins in Aes Selai camp. Moiraine, Liandrin and five other "sisters", as Aes sedai members call them, keep an eye on Logain Ablar who has been captured. In a flashback we see how the man in the cage uses his magical abilities to destroy the kingdoms of Ghealdan. He eventually becomes its king. It takes at least two Aes Sedai to suppress the man in the past. Moiraine is able to feel the powerful force of his power as she subdues him with Liandrin.

Rand, Mat, Thom and their daughter, Thom, take refuge in the barn to work manual labor. Rand awakens in the middle night to see their host family including their daughter brutally murdered. Mat stands next to the dead bodies and attempts to grab his attention. But a Fade appears from the dark, and he sees him. Thom leaps in to distract the Fade and Rand and Mat are able to flee on their horses before they react.

Perrin and Egwene learn more about the Tinkers' fascinating ways in the wilderness as they interact with nomadic tribespeople. The caravans finally pack up and start to travel towards Tal Valor. Perrin and Egwene both decide to move on after initially being hesitant. They hope they will meet their friends soon.

The Wheel of Time Episode #4: Ending. Are Moiraine, Lan and Lan still alive?

Logain's men attacked the Aes Sedai Camp, disorienting the magical sisters only enough for the villainous magician to escape his prison and kill one. After the invasion was stopped by their Warders and the majority of Aes Sedai of the Green Ajah, the remaining Aes Sedai were able to defend themselves. Logain, however, causes an explosion which kills nearly all Aes Sedai. Lan's neck is bled and Moiraine was impaled with a large spike.

Nynaeve is overcome by anger and starts to channel energy. It explodes from her with an incomprehensible force. Logain, still stunned, watches as other Aes Sedai, who are also injured, begin to get up and move. As they quickly join forces, the magic sisters utilize their threads and disable Logain. The episode ends with Logain being subdued in the arms of the many Aes SEDai around him.

Lan and Moiraine seem almost certain of their demise for some time. Both are left with fatal injuries. But Nynaeve saves them all with an explosive, yet to be seen, magical trick. We know that the braided magician has a specialization in healing. Due to the complicated magic involved in healing, only one magician has been able to heal one individual.

Logain and Nynaeve are stunned at Nynaeve’s incredible display of magic power. This is because Nynaeve simultaneously heals multiple deep wounds. This reveals that Nynaeve, a young channeller, is extraordinarily powerful and uses her power to completely heal Moiraine, Lan, as well as all Aes Sedai member who have been grievously injured by Logain.

Nynaeve al’Meara, the Dragon Reborn!

There are many signs that Nynaeve can channel incredible amounts of magic energy. Logain, who claims to be the Dragon Reborn and threatens Moiraine earlier, laughs at her and tells him that he's just a pinprick in comparison to the blinding Sun that is actually the Dragon Reborn. Even though he doubts it at the time, Moraine is actually hearing Nynaeve speak his mind as he looks on.

Logain, which we first see in the episode has the ability to take down entire cities one-handedly. It seems that Logain is now in awe and awe of Nynaeve. But, her age is not twenty-years old and she certainly doesn't match the prophecy. Nynaeve, while not being the Dragon Reborn, is shown to have an incredible ability to use magic.

What do the Aes Selai do to Logain The False Dragon, Logain?

Liandrin's desire to gentle him has been since the moment she captured Logain. Gentling is an act that cuts off the connection of a magic channeler to the True Source and makes them ineligible to use magic. But, Gentling is severe punishment that can only be performed after a White Tower trial. This is what the Aes Sedai are planning to do for Logain. Liandrin is refusing to accept his plan of prematurely gentleness.

The magical sisters are convinced Logain is too dangerous after he inflicts severe injuries to several Aes Sedai family members. As soon as Nynaeve gives them energy to channel, Liandrin rallying the other Aes Sedai sister, they take Logain's magical abilities. According to magic channelers, this is the worst fate possible for the Dragon Reborn man.
