Also Min Farshaw arrives in Tar Valon to report to the Amyrlin Siuan Sanche, inadvertently setting off a chain of events that will lead to a Tower split. Elayne, Nynaeve al'Meara, Juilin Sandar, and Thom Merrilin decide to go to Tanchico to hunt the Black Ajah. Perrin Aybara, after hearing rumors of trouble back home in the Two Rivers, chooses to return to the Two Rivers, and Faile Bashere goes with him. Mat Cauthon, unsure of what to do, finds answers within the Stone of Tear's Aelfinn ter'angreal, and is prompted to follow Rand to the Aiel Waste. Egwene and Moiraine Damodred resolve to accompany him. Rand declares his intention to go follow the People of the Dragon, the Aiel, into their home, the Aiel Waste. After being thrown out, he learns that Rand and Moiraine passed the doorframe as well, however, they refuse to reveal their questions and answers. When protesting that the answers were unclear, he manages to get some additional answers saying his fate is to marry the Daughter of the Nine Moons, to die and live again and to give up half the light of the world to save the world. He learns that he has to go to Rhuidean to survive and meet his fate. Mat passes through the Twisted redstone doorframe in the Stone to get the answers for his three questions. Finally, Rand uses Callandor to send a lightning storm to kill all of the Trollocs and Fades, leaving some believing Rand has gone mad. Another Forsaken, Semirhage, also sent Shadowspawn to oppose Sammael's forces into the Stone of Tear. As Rand furiously rejects her, the Stone of Tear is suddenly stormed by Trollocs and Fades, which are sent by the other Forsaken Sammael (though Lanfear did not have anything to do with this). Overwhelmed with jealousy against Ilyena (going so far as to call her a "pale-haired milksop", misinterpreted by Rand as jealousy against Elayne), she desperately pleads with him to join the forces of the Shadow, even stating her willingness to defy the Dark One if only he would be with her. Rand is surprised, however, when his previous traveling companion, Selene, reveals herself to be Lanfear, one of the Forsaken, and tells Rand to join her. Elayne, overjoyed by her friend's sacrifice, allows Egwene to declare the end of her assumed betrothal to Rand before admitting her love for him and starting a romantic relationship. Faced with the tension of sharing Rand with others, as well as coming to understand their similar stubbornness and devotion towards him, Egwene al'Vere "steps aside", formally inviting her close friend and Daughter-Heir of Andor, Elayne Trakand, to take Rand as her own.

#BEYOND THE SHADOW YOU SETTLE FOR SERIES#
The series walks a difficult line with The Comedy Store, which gave Phat Tuesdays room to exist, but also, in failing to champion a wide swath of Black comics, created the system that made Phat Tuesdays necessary. We could at least go to that one spot on Tuesday, all feel like kings and queens, whether we were gonna crush it that night or root for somebody to crush it that night or - I’ll keep it 100 - want somebody to bomb so that they won’t be in your way next week.” I think a lot of us were struggling back then and doing shows for pennies. We were really rooting for anybody to get something and if you couldn’t get on-stage, Phat Tuesday was definitely the place you wanted to be, even if just to network and hang out and be around people that you knew were going through a similar struggle. … It was star-studded and electric and fire.”Īdded Mitchell, “We were fans of each other. Not to say that other times were any less happy, but there was a real community in Los Angeles. Of being asked to participate in the series, Luenell said, “I couldn’t have been more pleased, because those Phat Tuesday days and that era were some of the happiest times that we had in comedy.
