Rand has a Crowning Moment Of Awesome taking out the grolm five shots for five, but then a ton more start coming after them, leaving them with no choice but to head to the Stone where Selene came in. She just so happens to know exactly what to do to help Rand use it, and they’re put back in their own world. And Selene continues to be suspiciously well-informed, as she reveals that the other universe screwed with time as well, so that Hurin was actually smelling where Fain’s group will be over the next few days, so they should just wait here. All according to plan, I’m sure.
I’m still calling that Selene is really evil, and the risk with this kind of thing is that the hero looks stupid for not noticing it for a while after the reader does. But so far it’s working here, since the major clue is the way the writing describes her, rather than anything the characters themselves have access to. And the stuff she conveniently knows, though Loial at least has questioned that, so it doesn’t come off badly either.
