The Queens are rapidly approaching the end of The Wheel of Time – and, in this section, we can see the end barrelling at us. All three Queens aim their pitchforks at Gawyn, who is acting particularly silly in this segment. Queen Al attempts to hold her spoilers for the rest of the series, while Queen Tay tries to understand why our army generals are suddenly making mistakes. Queen Marissa, in turn, is scared and alone, checking under every bed and in every closet for where Demandred could possibly be hiding. Armies are moved, Aes Sedai are attacked, and the Last Battle looms ever closer as your Queens discuss Chapter 9 to the end of Chapter 21 of Book Fourteen of The Wheel of Time, A Memory of Light by Robert Jordan and Brandon Sanderson.

The Queens finish this episode with a game called, "DND Character Sheets." In this game, we create character sheets for all the most important characters in the series – and we certainly don't forget Rand in this process. We follow up this game with the usual character rankings by Queens Marissa and Tay.
