Quotes

[first lines]
Zeddicus Zu'l Zorander: If the compass continues pointing us south, we'll go right past the Falls of Aldermont.
Richard Cypher: Is that someplace important?
Kahlan: It's considered the most romantic spot in all the Midlands.
Zeddicus Zu'l Zorander: Many a child was conceived beneath those cascading waters.
Kahlan: I was there once. It's beautiful.
Richard Cypher: Oh, really? And who were you with?
Kahlan: My sister.
[smiles]
Kahlan: When the sun sets, the light hits the falls, and the water glistens red. They say it's the reflection of all the lovers' hearts who've kissed there.

User Reviews

Two Kahlans for the price of one

Kahlan and Zedd leave the rest of the team to go and stop a bad guy that is bringing a reign of terror. But as the bad guy is very far away, they use an amulet to travel. The amulet, however, malfunctions, and Kahlan finds herself split into two: one, the brainy one, with Zedd, with just the sense of justice and duty on one side; and two, the romantic, all heart, feelings and passion Kahlan on the other. Can they find a way to bring the real Kahlan back?

"Turn" is a very interesting episode, that shows that brain and heart are necessary to make a person who they are. Bridget Regan does a great job as Kahlan, and this episode is for her to shine, as she has the chance to play two new characters. Spirited, passionate Kahlan is a very interesting character and Bridget Regan does a good job with her, but she is also really good with duty Kahlan, which nonetheless seems to have more feelings that a "duty, work" personality should have. But that is a minor quibble in a very good episode, that shows a lot of heart and interesting moments.
