Mat avoids Tylin and joins the women, witnessing a discussion about Aes Sedai and Kin age which he considers silly. He argues with Elayne about whether to use the Bowl in Ebou Dar, telling her they should leave as soon as they can instead. She tries to persuade him not to come, but he insists. Nalesean and Beslan arrive, hoping to have fun in the Rahad. Lan and Nynaeve arrive and announce their marriage. Lan tells Mat that Moghedien tried to kill Nynaeve due to some personal dislike.

Setting: The Rahad, Ebou Dar

Point of view: Mat

Once delivered to the river, Elayne tells Mat she knows about him bothering Tylin and is abolishing her promises to her. He explains the truth, but instead of being ashamed of herself, she is amused. He offers her the medallion to use as protection, but she tells him to keep it. Over in the Rahad, they are taken to the house he had previously found. He sends men round to cover the back entrance, though Nynaeve feels this is not necessary. Elayne and some of the others go upstairs, but before he can follow them, Falion and Ispan arrive and shield Nynaeve. She tells everyone they are Black Ajah, but the Kinswoman are too in awe of Aes Sedai to help. Lan throws himself at the Black sisters and a struggle ensues. Upstairs, someone channels and after a plea from Nyaneve, Mat goes to investigate.

Upstairs, he sees women sprawled on the floor and a man kill one of the Wise Women, Janira. Mat attacks him, but he is to quick, avoiding Mat and killing Nalesean with his bare hand. Mat throws himself at the man and manages to stab them in the back several times, though this does not seem to affect him and he squirms free, attacking Mat who is saved when his Medallion touches the man's face, burning him. To prevent the man killing Elayne, he spins the medallion in front of him, using it as a weapon, causing the man to flee to an adjacent room, which is empty when Mat checks it seconds later. He attends to Elayne, who thanks him and apologises for everything she ever said or did, sounding sincere. Nynaeve and Sumeko arrive and start healing the wounded. Mat tells everyone they are leaving as soon as they can get the Bowl.
