Recap / The Wheel Of Time S 1 E 2 Shadows Waiting

• Burn the Witch!: Eamon Valda burns a captured Aes Sedai from the Yellow Ajah at the stake, in keeping with his belief that they're evil witches deserving of death.
  Because we humans are meant to be of this Earth. To struggle and fight for everything we have. The Creator never meant for us to have access to so much power. You witches make a mockery of our very existence, walking like gods amongst men. The idea that the One Power comes from anywhere other than the Dark is absurd. So I have been called to stamp it out. Woman by woman by woman.
• Cast from Hit Points: Moiraine weakens herself by keeping the others and all of their horses fresh with the One Power, which Lan notes. Technically this is overexertion rather than a metaphysical trade of life for power, but the result is the same. It eventually makes her collapse and have to be treated.
• Church Militant: The Children of the Light, colloquially known as Whitecloaks due to their uniforms, are an armed Crusader/Inquisition like group devoted to hunting down Aes Sedai, female magic users whom they believe to be evil, serving the Dark One. Eamon Valda, a Questioner and one of the nastier Whitecloaks, is shown eating an ortolan-like dish whose bones causes him to bleed from the mouth, visibly enjoying it and talking about the beauty of brutality, while a maimed Yellow Aes Sedai is being burned at the stake in front of him. He also flashes seven rings taken from executed Aes Sedai.
• Exact Words: Moiraine manages to get around questioning by the Whitecloaks through judiciously choosing her words, misleading them in doing so. It's necessary as she can't lie due to the first oath she took preventing it.
• Pet the Dog: Despite their disdain for the Aes Sedai, the commander of the Whitecloaks advises Moraine (in the belief she's an ordinary woman) to seek one out to heal the Trolloc wound she received in the previous episode.
• This Cannot Be!: The reaction of the Whitecloaks to hearing there are Trollocs roaming the region.
