Elaida dreams of victory and of Romanda, Lelaine and Sheriam begging to be allowed to swear to her. Alviarin wakes her and tells her Covarla Baldene has returned from Cairhien. Covarla tells Elaida that she stood highest of those that returned and that the others are dead or captured. Elaida decides that the Aiel must be taught a lesson, preventing Covarla from protesting. She is displeased that Gawyn still lives.
Alviarin asks her if she means to court a third debacle and explains about the Asha'man. She tells Alviarin to write a note ordering Toveine to return, but Alviarin points out there is no way to get it to her. Calling Elaida by her name and not her title, she tells her she must take her advice or she cannot protect her. Elaida is ordered to increase the Tower Guard and to punish Josaine and Adelorna for having an angreal in their rooms and to praise Doraise, Kiyoshi and Farellien. Elaida worries this will set the Ajahs against each other even more and cause trouble, but has to obey. Alviarin tells her that next time they will do something about Rand, and then leaves. Elaida is distraught till she remembers her Foretelling, which she believes told of her victory.

Elaida tells her it must have been treachery that allowed Siuan to flee and that orders of hers have been countermanded. She tells Seaine to follow the trail even if it leads to the Keeper.
