Ep121: The Gathering Storm, Ch 21 - 26

Ok, whoah. I hope you've all had a good day because this episode contains some of the darkest times for our boy, Rand! But we also get into some great callbacks, so there is always that!

Perrin dips his toes back in the wolf dream while Faile has a small secret ceremony for the women who had to kill the brotherless who had helped them in Malden.

Then it's time for sad things. Semirhage makes her final play on Rand and Min is caught in the crossfire. Things go real sideways.

When the dust has settled, Rand is even more broken and he banishes Cadsuane from his sight with threat of death.

Meanwhile, Gawyn arrives at Gareth Bryne's camp and gets a fresh cup of wake-the-hell-up from his former teacher.

In the rebel camp Sheriam gets new orders from a masked Forsaken, and in the Tower Egwene tells Seaine to keep up the efforts of getting the Tower back together while she is locked away in a dungeon awaiting trial.

And in our last chapter Aviendha finally picks up what the Wise Ones are putting down, and Shemerin tells the rebels why she is beahving like a non-Aes Sedai and how she got out of the city...
