Episode Seven "Identity" - Synopsis

The episode opens with a witch, Shota, having a vision of the Seekers death. Zedd, Kahlan and Richard, meanwhile, arrive at a town where they are welcomed by a long time resistance member and double agent and his son Gryff, who is getting married the next day. They have also learned that one of Rahl’s most trusted generals, Demmin Nass, is assembling a massive force near the ruins of a once great city of Callabra. They make a plan to infiltrate the camp and have Kahlan Confess him and bring Nass under her command, so that they will have a spy in Rahl’s lines.

Shota, meanwhile, disguises herself and tries to warn Richard not to go to Callabra as he will surely die there. He doesn’t heed her warning, yet she is so determined to stop his death that she magically changes his appearance; Gryff now looks like the Seeker, and Richard is Gryff. Thus it is Kahlan, Zedd and Gryff who leave for Callabra, while Richard is forced to stay being and forced to enter into an arranged marriage with Bronwyn. During the night before they plan to execute their plan, Kahlan confesses her love to Richard, not knowing it is in fact Gryff. She also explains why their love can never be. Back in town, Richard manages to convince Bronwyn that they should escape, but once in the woods they are attacked by Shota’s assistant, but manage to fight them off.

Trying to brake into the D’Haran camp through a tunnel the two are captured, but subsequently set free by Morcant, the soldier taking bribes from Gryff’s father.
At the start of the plan’s execution Kahla learns that it is Gryff and not Richard who is with them and tries to abort the plan, but it is too late. Their plan to bring Nass under the Confessor’s control fail and Richard arrives just in time to save Gryff from being slaughtered by Nass.

In the final scene they are conformed by Shota who informs them of the prophecy, which states the Seeker will ultimately be betrayed by the One in White, by Kahlan.
