Pairs upon pairs of characters feature in this episode, making it a fitting chapter for Seth and Aradia to take a break from having special guests. The timeline of the story is starting to compress and distort towards “the slog”  here, as the Salidar Aes Sedai approach Tar Valon and the summer grinds on. We see parallels between Aes Sedai pride and Aiel ji’e’toh, both of which serve Egwene very well.
