The Wheel of Time's face-touching scene between Ishamael and "Rand" in Tel'aran'rhiod was scripted but had additional layers added during filming.
Actor Fares Fares discusses the script and intimate scenes between Ishamael and Lanfear, their complicated relationship, and Ishamael's death scene in Season 2.
Fares says that Ishamael breaks Lanfear's seal despite knowing she will eventually betray him, viewing her as a powerful tool in his plan to manipulate Rand and his friends.
