If there’s a lesson to be learned from this episode, it’s that trying several smaller shifts and surprises in the narrative, instead of aiming for one big revelation, is the route to a more enjoyable hour of television.

Tell-Tale TV

[Delivers] some absolutely top-tier angst between Moiraine and Lan. It’s heartbreaking but also so good.
