Wheel of Time - Cast Predictions/Wishlist

The end of the last episode has me puzzled. The Ways don't require channeling, it's how Padan Fain uses them later on. Since Padan has to use them for a whole host of plot-related reasons, how are they going to reconcile the hole they created? Why create it in the first place?

Well they can just say a Fade opened the Ways because they already said they don't know how the trollocs got to two rivers undetected.

im still about a quarter of the way into Shadow Rising, I've ready read New Dawn, I don't remember Moiraine and Siuan ever being "girlfriends". Was that part of the books? I think they had a "special" name for their type of friendship in New Dawn, but I never took that as meaning they were in a relationship.
