"We See a Looser Version of Nynaeve": 'The Wheel of Time's Zoë Robins on Fighting a Gray Man and Facing Off With Moghedien in Season 3

Editor's note: The below interview contains spoilers for The Wheel of Time Season 3 Episodes 1-3.While the first two seasons of The Wheel of Time have already put our main characters through a lot, Season 3 doesn't waste any time (no pun intended) before upping the dangers these heroes are facing at nearly every turn. In the three-episode premiere, what seems like a peaceful reunion between longtime friends is quickly shattered thanks to a coordinated attack from the Forsaken Lanfear (Natasha O'Keeffe), which, as we later learn, is all a plan to drive Rand's (Josha Stradowski) friends away from him. It works, because after that, everyone decides they need to embrace different paths — including Nynaeve (Zoë Robins), who chooses to stay behind in Tar Valon. Yet the former Wisdom still has her hands full, now that she's been tasked with rooting out the corruption that has infiltrated the White Tower alongside Elayne (Ceara Coveney). As these two put their heads together, their investigation is poised to take them to the coastal city of Tanchico, where law is practically an afterthought.
