Very hard to decide! The Cleansing is so enjoyable, yet the Sister Ceremony sticks out so much in my mind and I will say that is my favorite scene. Yay for sisterhood!

Definitely the Cleansing, but I will say that the scene Ms. Nedopak included at the end of the video almost made me rethink that.

Favorite scene? In WH?

“The street out front is filling up with Guards, sheepherder.” A dark wetness stained the left side of Lan’s coat, but his sword was sheathed, proof of who had danced that dance the better. “Time we were on the roof, if we’re going.”

Reluctantly, Rand acquiesces, and they head back to the roof and climb to the peak. Lan’s boot slips, and Rand turns and grabs him, the other man’s weight pulling them both down to the edge of the roof and past, until Lan is dangling into space, Rand above him holding on.

“Let go,” Lan said quietly. He looked up at Rand, his eyes cold and hard, no expression on his face. “Let go.”

“When the sun turns green,” Rand told him. If he could just pull the other man up a little, enough to catch the eave…

Whatever his fingers had caught broke with a sharp snap, and the alley rushed up to meet them.

Gotta be. Bar none.

Woof™.

Forget the cleansing, a scene that has always been stuck in my head is when Tuon wanted to buy Mat's Ashandarei, especially Mat's response.

“I will give you ten times the price you paid,” [Tuon] said. “Name it.”

[Mat] almost laughed. He wanted to, and not for pleasure, that was certain sure. No would you think of selling, just I will buy it and here is what I will pay. “The price wasn’t gold, my Lady.” Involuntarily, his hand went to the black scarf to make sure it still hid the ridged scar that encircled his neck. “Only a fool would pay it one time, let alone ten.”

I loved that cleansing as well as Rand in Far Madding! Awesome!

The Cleansing... Mat finding out that Tuon is the Daughter Of The Nine Moons is also good.

There is something incredibly true, and incredibly wise, in the way that Aiel custom has woven the process of bonding a dear friend as a first-sister. This scene from the prologue, in which Elayne and Aviendha confirm their deep mutual trust and friendship, is one of those moments that had me thinking, "Robert Jordan sees more simply and more clearly into the human heart than most of us." We should all take a moment to follow the example of this scene to tell our best friends what we most admire about them, and what we find most irksome about them. One Power or not, I think we'll find ourselves with closer relationships afterward. Even with all the epic scenes in this volume, this touching sequence from near the very beginning has to be my favorite.

This is very difficult, WH has so many great bits. Each time I reread, I appreciate it more.

I loved the cleansing (of course), but even it was made of multiple parts. The lead up, with Rand explaining to Cadsuane what he has to do and why he has to do it. (And now that we've heard a quote from Moiraine, 'By the Dragon came our pain, and by the Dragon was the wound repaired.' we can suspect Cadsuane knew that he would have to try.) And for me the grand finale was the collapse of the black dome.

with the Choedan Kal is my favorite part of WH. WH is the only audio book i do not have on CD so this would be awesome

The cleansing; no contest.

This is a tough one to answer. Though I would have to say it was either the Cleansing of the Source or Mat kidnapping Tuon.

...Okay, it's got to be Matrim Bloody Cauthon. Not quite as flashy as the Clensing, but still a grand laugh from then to when Tuon names Mat her husband.

Definitely the cleansing.

One of my favourite scenes is 'A lily in the winter'. I also include the portion of the chapter before that when Rand meets Nynaeve again.

Truly a beautiful scene of Elayne and Aviendha becoming first sisters. True emotion flowed from the pages during that.

I Do Love the Cleansing of the Taint. I waited for that for years.

But I think my favorite is Chapter 17 Pink Ribbons when Mat first meets Tuon and she tries to buy him. Also, after the dice stop he expects one of the Forsaken to leap out of the flames in the fireplace. We later find out that Semirage was already in the room.

While the Cleansing of Saidin was superb, my favorite part of WH was Mat's plan to get out of Ebou Dar. After an entire book without him he was back in top form here.

After cobbling together a pretty darn good plan so many things happen in the last hours that could utterly destroy it, but actually end up helping things in the long run (although we don't know that!). The Queen returns early (and he offers to take her along!), the mad gamble with the Sea Folk Windfinder, Egeanin claiming to Mat's chagrin that she was good at adapting when she found something for Joline's warders to do, Juilin having to reconvince Thera, Mat's hilarious fight with Tuon... Noal showing up just at the right time even though he was the one person Mat forgot about...

I kept thinking 'what can possibly happen next?' and then he unwittingly started a marriage ceremony with the future Empress of Seanchan.

Bravo, Robert Jordan!

It's been said so many times already, but the Cleansing had me sitting straight up in my chair with my eyes wide the first time I read it, muttering "omigod, omigod" under my breath. One of Jordan's most epic scenes in an epic series.

When Mat first finds out Tuon is the Daughter of the Nine Moons

With The Choedan Kal!!! Best scene in Winter's Heart and The Wheel of Time!! Forsaken everywhere! Linking! GAH!!!!!! Hope the Last Battle is this scene times infinity!!!! (Hope In win...I never win ANYTHING!)

Has to be the cleansing.

Despite the fact that everyone else has said it, my favorite scene is the cleansing of the power. It is such a huge moment in the series.

Definitely Far Madding. The whole time in there, it was great. I loved having Cadsuane explain everything and actually show remorse for what she was doing, even if it didn't stop her.

The Cleansing. What would have been a great moment in a single novel is just so much more moving and intense with 9 books of build-up.

Although many have already said it, the cleansing is definitely my favorite scene in Winter's Heart.

Cleansing of the source and the battle that goes on around while it happens just barely edges out the Mat/Tuon scene. Of course ask me tomorrow and Mat might win..
