Season 2 of Prime Video's Robert Jordan fantasy adaptation ended with a big battle that felt anything but final—and one monumental personal triumph.

The Wheel of Time, based on Robert Jordan’s popular novels, just wrapped up its second season. It has a more modest budget than Prime Video’s other big fantasy series—and less buzz than something like HBO’s House of the Dragon—but it consistently delivered juicy intrigue while taking its nerdy elements seriously without being too self-serious, for the most part. It also did a good job managing the steep learning curve for viewers unfamiliar with Jordan’s dense source material.

Ill-fated, because for reasons too complicated to detail here, the girls are kidnapped before they even leave the White Tower. Nynaeve and Elayne manage to scramble away, but Egwene faces a dreadful fate: she becomes a “damane,” enslaved by the Seanchan army that’s invaded the seaside city of Falme. Her purpose is to use the One Power in destructive ways. She has a malevolent handler named Renna , who uses a collar-gauntlet contraption that binds them together on a psychic level.
