Allow us to refresh you on what happened at the end of 'The Wheel of Time' season 1 so you're prepared for the season 2 premiere this Friday.
), Perrin , Nynaeve , and Mat. By the end of the season, Rand had been revealed as the Dragon Reborn, and he and Moiraine entered a special area known as the Eye of the World in the hopes of using his power to defeat the Dark One once and for all.
It didn't go down the way they wanted, exactly. Although Rand seemed to triumph in his magical duel with the Dark One, he didn't permanently defeat the enemy. In fact, their struggle damaged the magical prison enough to release one of the Dark One's top lieutenants, a figure who had been taunting Rand in his dreams all season.
Being the Dragon gives one access to a lot of magical power, but it also leaves one prey to going mad. To protect his friends from his dark potential, Rand went off on his own, and Moiraine agreed to tell everyone that he was dead. The Two Rivers group has now gone their separate ways. After proving their magical powers beyond a doubt during the season 1 finale battle, Egwene and Nynaeve have gone to the White Tower to be trained in the ways of the Aes Sedai. Perrin discovered that Padan Fain, the peddler who used to visit Two Rivers with fun gifts from faraway lands, is actually a Darkfriend in service to evil, and was the one who helped the Trollocs destroy their village back in the first episode.
Meanwhile, Mat went off on his own, and by the beginning of season 2 has ended up in the custody of the Red Ajah faction of the Aes Sedai. He still seems somewhat tainted by his contact with an evil dagger he stole from the haunted city of Shadar Logoth. By the way, don't be surprised if Mat doesn't look exactly the way you remember — the character was played by Barney Harris in season 1, but will be portrayed by Donal Finn going forward.
