At long last, everyone has arrived in Falme, and it’s time for the Dragon to proclaim himself! As the Children of the Light assault the town, Perrin and Aiel track down Loial and Ingtar, who have escaped captivity and acquired the Horn of Valere in a thrilling and action-packed scene that takes place entirely off-screen. Rand wanders around killing people at random. Egwene gets tired of waiting and rescues herself. Mat releases all of the ta’veren he’s evidently been storing up over both seasons. Moiraine makes another bid for being the main character. And Elayne and Nynaeve may as well have stayed home.
But all of my snark aside, this was a terrific episode that had us in tears and on our feet cheering by turns. A fitting finale for season 2!
The Woolheads will return to our mics when season three is released.
