Nynaeve, Min, and Elayne set a trap as part of the plan to rescue Egwene. Nynaeve sees a sul'dam and damane pair and mentally angers herself with what Min told her of how damane are controlled so she can channel. When the collar falls to the ground, the damane punches the sul'dam in the face runs away. Nynaeve grabs the sul’dam, gagging her and putting a sack over her head. Nynaeve makes Elayne pick up the bracelet. They drag the woman through the alleyway and into a building. They take off the bag over the woman’s head, and tie her up. Nynaeve puts on her dress and puts on the bracelet. They had prepared dresses so either could be the damane depending on the size of the woman they captured.
