Rand al’Thor‘s (Josha Stradowski) journey continues across the Ariel Waste with their new guides who lead them to the city of Rhuidean. While he and Moiraine Damodred (Rosamund Pike) are permitted entry where they will face challenges to prove their worth. While Rand walks through a the past, living through generations of his timeline and learning about his parents, the creation of the city of the clouds, and the oath sworn long ago and how it was broken, Moiraine has visions of many possible futures. While we spend the bulk of time with Rand, we only see flashes of Moiraine’s visions which include a possible romance with Rand and several timelines which end at the hands of Lanfear (Natasha O’Keeffe) who we notably also see in Rand’s past vision as well. Aviendha (Ayoola Smart), who has avoided her true path for too long, also takes a similar journey through the rings as Moiraine (although we are not privy to her visions).

  • IMDb: link

“The Great Fleece” is a an episode of reunion as having deciphered their communication network Sherlock Holmes (David Thewlis) lays a trap allowing for the return of both Dr. Watson (Seán Duggan) and Mrs. Hudson. However, the episode is also one of revelation where the true villain of the series is revealed to be Michael Wylie (Joe Klocek) whose various machinations are nothing more than theater and distraction allowing him first to rob the Bank of England and then later return the money but not before profiting greatly during its short absence. We’re even given a scene with the young man gloating over his victory to his father (Dougray Scott) that also teases to the connection to America and the Red Thread’s interest in killing Clara’s (Gia Hunter) mother.

Bob (H. Jon Benjamin) doing a favor for Mr. Fischoeder (Kevin Kline) hasn’t always worked out well for the Belchers, but seeing how he’s willing to waive two months rent, Bob jumps at the chance to cater an event for the local orchestra which Fischoeder will be conducting (although he needs the night to go smoothly to attempt to talk them into performing a traditional peace at a faster tempo). I’m not sure why Bob and Linda (John Roberts) thought it was a good idea to bring Louise (Kristen Schaal), Gene (Eugene Mirman), and Tina (Dan Mintz) along with them to the event in Fischoeder’s home, but it does give them a B-story in which their host uses them to keep Felix (Zach Galifianakis) busy and away from the party.
