The Scooby Gang keeps interrogating the two captured black ajah. One is silenced.
Wait, WHAT? How did that happened? When? By accident during their capture? I thought, because it was told, such thing is cooperative magic, and such abominatin all learning at the aes sedai must live with the names (and crimes, or more like deads) of all squelched! How is this not a major issue?!?

Let's collect the blacks:
1 - Liandrin
2 - Chesmal
3 - Rianna
4 - Joiya Byir <--- (captured)
5 - Amico Nagoyin <--- (silenced)
6 - Temaile
7 -
8 -
9 -
10 -
11 -
12 -
13 -
I think we never get comprenehsive lists, because there was no pre-planning, there was no list at all.

It is actualy fortunate for this franchise none can read lips.

The blacks give two tales: one is that liandrin wanna free a False Dragon before they reach Tar Valon, the other mumbles something about the city of Tanchico.

-------------

Here is an idea: now that Rand is Paul, and goes to fremen-land, will she have a fremen waifu? Just a hunch, but Avienha? And Elayne can be considered the Emperor's daughter - no idea if that character had a thing with Paul, just looking for analouges.

Moiraine's plan to go with the expectation and smoke out the Forsaken in Illian.
She also reports about a tangreal which can answer questions. Ye know what ME find strange about tangreals? That they don't come with a MANUAL.
At least she informs us that the False Dragon is covered (message sent by postal pidgeon), so let's go to Tanchico! I hope this won't end up some racist slur. Sounds suspiciosly spanish.

Egwenne reveals she wants to break up with Rand, Elayne strikes on the revealing possibility.

-------------

Rand has some power-strougle with the local Lords. Also frustrated for not being able to read Ancient (hint, hint: Matt?).
Anyway, the Scooby Gang makes a try helping Rand to focus. I don't get why there are no BOOKS about male magic by male maglings, also where are the books about two-gender-magick...
Anyway, turns out they really can't help by telling how female magic works.
ONE aspect I have to tell though, just to be fair. Someone some time asked, what if it is a dominant woman. In Book 2 Ninive was told how to alter the meditation to her nature. So there.

Rand and Egwenne break up, both are relieved.
