“#Daniel Henney Teases a Big Turn & Explains Lan and Moiraine’s Loyalty<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

[Warning: The below contains MAJOR spoilers for plot twists from this week\u2019s episode of The Wheel of Time<\/em>, so turn yourselves around unless you fly by the Amyrlin Seat of your pants.]<\/strong><\/p>\n

Well, well, well. Guess Moiraine (Rosamund Pike) isn\u2019t as unfeeling as we thought! In \u201cThe Flame of Tar Valon,\u201d it was revealed that the icy Blue wonder was involved\u2014romantically\u2014with Aes Sedai leader Siuan (Sophie Okonedo), also known as \u201cThe Amyrlin Seat.\u201d Clearly a no-no, the two have kept their relationship a secret, going so far this week as to stage Moiraine\u2019s exile from the White Tower for refusing to tell the Seat and her fellow sisters the details of her two-year mission to find the Dragon Reborn.<\/p>\n

Free from the restrictions of the order, but nevertheless gutted to leave her lover, Moiraine was then able to reunite the kids from Two Rivers. With the aid of Loial (Hammed Animashuan) and her faithful Warder Lan (Daniel Henney), she drew the group to a Waygate, explaining how the mystical portal would lead them to the Dark One. And while Moiraine, Lan and Loial failed to mention that whomever wasn\u2019t<\/em> the prophesied Dragon would probably perish on the other side, it became very clear that their lives would be imperiled once we got a look into ominous Ways\u2026if they chose to join them.<\/p>\n

Here, Criminal Minds<\/em> alum Henney explains the loyalty between Lan and Moiraine, hints at what lies ahead for the hottest Warder in the land and confirms that it\u2019s about to get crazy up in here once the trip<\/a> through the Ways gets underway.<\/p>\n

OK, so everything that happ<\/a>ens with Moiraine in this episode affects Lan directly because he\u2019s her Warder.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Daniel Henney:<\/strong> Right.<\/p>\n

And clearly, he\u2019s known about her relationship with Siuan all along?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I think you\u2019ve guessed correctly. [Laughs<\/em>] Look, they\u2019re bonded and they\u2019ve been on this journey for 20 years, so they are essentially a married couple without the fun stuff\u2026without the sex and romance. But they have their bond and they share everything together. He\u2019s completely aware, in my opinion, of what\u2019s going on and you see that play out in that scene where he comes into her quarters midway through the episode and says, \u201cLook, it\u2019s not safe here. You have to be careful. You have a lot of enemies.\u201d Then he goes to the door and he says, \u201cGive her my love,\u201d and he\u2019s going to watch or stand at the door until morning, which is very sweet.<\/p>\n

I think this is just their way. They have this relationship, Lan and Moiraine, but Moiraine clearly has relationships outside, including a romantic relationship, and that\u2019s something that Lan respects. I love it because it sort of encapsulates this new way we\u2019re seeing love between these two characters and that will evolve more as we move on to Episode 107. Because you\u2019re going to see Lan get into the \u201clove\u201d world as well, which is really exciting.<\/p>\n

\"The<\/p>\n

Jan Thijs<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

That was one of the questions I had! Because of his relationship with Moiraine, does that mean he\u2019s celibate?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Well, he\u2019s not. [Laughs<\/em>] I don\u2019t know for sure if he\u2019s been<\/em> celibate, but I know that he and Moiraine are not sexual. There\u2019s definitely a tension there, as we saw with the bathtub scene in the pilot. But they\u2019re not sexual. And as you see them move forward in 107, I\u2019m not sure how much I can reveal, but Lan will explore some parts of that. I just think it\u2019s really refreshing to see that two people can have an intimate relationship and still have love outside of that. And I think it\u2019s just a new way of looking at things.<\/p>\n

And when she goes to see Siuan, they\u2019re not connected.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Yeah. Because that\u2019s sort of a private thing for her and she can mask the bond when she wants to. And that turns off sort of their connection at times. You\u2019ll see throughout the show, as it moves forward, there\u2019s moments when she masks the bond, which causes some friction between the two.<\/p>\n

I also noticed that he\u2019s the only person who can get her to laugh.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Yeah. I mean, you spend that much time with someone, 20 years in the road. I\u2019m sure you\u2019ve been on road trip before\u2026you\u2019re pretty much locked in a car, you\u2019re going to find a way to make the other person laugh. And they\u2019ve been each other\u2019s best friends for years and years. If you go back in books prior to this, the book \u201cNew Spring\u201d explores the beginnings of their relationship and they sort of started things off by playing pranks and jokes on each other. And I think he throws her into a pond and she like does this trick with some fire ants and there\u2019s all these things they do to each other.<\/p>\n

Last week, we had that incredible sequence with Stepin grieving his Aes Sedai, Kerene. What is the bond between the Warders themselves?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Well, they don\u2019t have an actual One Power-based bond. Lan\u2019s backstory is that he was an orphan and he was sort of smuggled out of his [royal family\u2019s] palace before it was taken by the blight and his parents were killed. So he was raised by warriors and he\u2019s been looking for sort of a mentor\/father figure for his whole life. And I think he found that in Stepin. Theirs is very much a father-son or a close brother-type relationship. And that\u2019s what you\u2019re seeing. So these guys are kind of like a close sort of fraternity and they have love for each other, but it\u2019s not connected to the One Power like it is between order in Aes Sedai.<\/p>\n

And with Rand (Josha Stradowski) being an orphan, is that something that connects the two guys as well?<\/strong><\/p>\n

You will see that evolve as the show goes forward. Lan and Rand have a very interesting storyline as we move through the books. And so you\u2019ll see Lan become a mentor for Rand, which is really exciting for Josha and I, because I feel that way within real life. That\u2019s something we\u2019re going to have fun exploring, but I can\u2019t really give too much away, but you will see sort of a mirrored relationship that Lan had with Stepin.<\/p>\n

Nice. And now the way the episode ends is\u2026I feel like this is one of those moments that the readers have been waiting for. The Waygate! What are they walking into? What can you tell me about the next episode?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Well, the Waygates, they\u2019re sort of like ancient pathways. I played Mario Bros. when I was a kid, so I\u2019d always equate it to like the warp zone where you would go through to different worlds. [Laughs<\/em>] They go through these pathways and they\u2019re just sort of steeped in danger and different sort of legends and things that exist only within these pathways. What you\u2019re seeing in the next episode are these amazing sets that our art department created all practically, so we got to actually walk through them. It was like an entire stage that was built of these black, crazy stones and bridges that we got to walk through and all the things that come to challenge us within these Ways. It\u2019s really, really exciting. So I\u2019m very excited for you guys can see it.<\/p>\n

Lots of action?<\/strong><\/p>\n

There\u2019s a lot<\/em> of action. There\u2019s also some exciting love stuff happening. I can\u2019t reveal too much, but you\u2019re going to get to see a lot about where Lan is from, his culture and how he was brought up. That was really fun for me.<\/p>\n

Sweet. Now, I have not completed \u201cThe Eye of the World\u201d yet, but Mat\u2019s decision at the end of this episode fascinated me.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Oh yeah, that\u2019s a big one and that is actually not<\/em> in the books. That is something that was put into our show and I think that it actually has upped the stakes a lot for our younger cast because it leads them to question what they believe as far as Moiraine and Lan and their leadership. I think it worked out really nicely\u2026it gave us a sort of push-and-pull when it came to whether they want to follow us moving forward or if they are not going to trust us. And I think it\u2019s playing really nicely.<\/p>\n
