#to have Catchup With Siuan & Liandrin & The Tower as the A plot of the episode

[markantonys]

WOT season 3 episode 1 title is "to race the shadow" (source)

[markantonys]

my rough guesses:

2x01: a taste of solitude | focus on the white tower gang (especially mat, with whom the audience is most in need of a catchup). the other groups set out on their journeys.

2x02: daughter of the night | focus on the forsaken and rand, with a parallel subplot of moiraine and lan realizing the forsaken have been freed.

2x03: what might be | focus on nynaeve and her accepted test.

2x04 or 5: daes dae'mar | focus on moiraine, lan, and rand in cairhien.

2x04 or 5: eyes without pity | focus on perrin and the battle that results in loial's capture by the seanchan.

2x06: strangers and friends | focus on the white tower gang, specifically the girls falling into liandrin's trap. B plot of perrin meeting aviendha and/or verin.

2x07: damane | focus on egwene in captivity. the other girls come up with a plan to free her. the hunt, rand & co, and mat approach falme.

2x08: what was meant to be | everybody comes together at falme.

i think daughter of the night and strangers and friends could be switched (if they want to save selene's identity reveal as a late-season twist, for example). episodes 4 and 5 is my best guess for a cairhien-centric daes dae'mar and perrin-centric eyes without pity but the order feels interchangeable to me (just because the picture of moiraine in cairhien is from 2x04 doesn't mean that's THE cairhien-focused episode, it could just be her arriving at the end of the episode to set up for cairhien-centric 2x05 for all we know).

and the following for a general structure of each group's story:

rand: early season = wandering alone and meeting selene; mid season = learning politics in cairhien and maybe working on moiraine's shielding; late season = trip to falme for whatever reason (either because his loved ones were threatened, like for book!falme, or to fulfill a prophecy, like for book!tear)

moiraine and lan: early season = investigating moiraine's shielding and maybe prophecies, perhaps a TGH-esque research scene with verin taking the place of adeleas and vandene; midseason = trip to cairhien, where they cross paths with rand and possibly siuan; late season = trip to falme with rand

perrin: early season = beginning the hunt and learning more about his wolf powers through elyas; midseason = losing loial and crossing paths with the aiel, the whitecloaks, the seanchan, and possibly verin; late season = trip to falme to get the horn

egwene, nynaeve, and elayne: early season = settling into the tower and training; midseason = black ajah investigation within the tower; late season = trip to falme with liandrin & its consequences

mat: early season = captivity by liandrin; mid season = quarterstaff training and maybe setting up his memory loss or even having him go through the first doorway; late season = trip to falme to look for the girls
