WoT S1E7: The Dark Along the Ways

In S1E7 of The Wheel of Time, the group traverses the Ways and— much like the episode title "The Dark Along the Ways" suggests— is accosted by various terrors there. They emerge in the borderlands city of Fal Dara. There we finally meet Min, a seer who can read people's fates; see some character development with Lan (and Nynaeve); and watch as the young members of the group struggle through a crisis of faith in each other. The episode ends with a journey into The Blight to reach The Eye of the World, setting up for a season finale (IMO) that parallels the first book, The Eye of the World.

My "Five Things" structure has worked well for all the episodes so far, and there's enough in S1E7 to continue it. As this episode is full of reveals (which makes sense, as it's setting up the season finale) I'll put the whole thing behind a spoiler cut.
