For the last time, the Queens begin a new Wheel of Time book. In this beginning of the end, the Queens rage over theories that should have been right, decide they don't love the legendary shower and might end up defending some female Forsaken. Queens Al and Marissa give us a biology lesson on twins, and Queen Tay cries over Caemlyn's horses and brings out her map. Prophecies are unpacked while Queen Al tries to ignore her co-hosts in the name of spoiler safety. So, gather your armies and meet the Queens to discuss the Prologue to the end of Chapter 8 of Book Fourteen of The Wheel of Time, A Memory of Light by Robert Jordan and Brandon Sanderson.

The Queens finish off this episode with a game of Who Would Do What Chore? where we contemplate which household tasks our favourite characters would take on. We follow up this game with the usual character rankings by Queens Marissa and Tay.
