Birgitte might well smack her head and carry her away this time!
We know that Caemlyn is attacked on the Night Before Merrilor, the same night Rand has his Cyndane dream. As for why the rebel Aes Sedai haven't joined in, it's either that they simply haven't found out yet (being asleep) or they're involved in the nastiness at the Black Tower, having been (finally) invited inside. Or they're gone, but that seems less likely.
The first option is probably out of question - they must have sentries up all night, and a fire a few square leagues in size would be unmistakable. Four leagues away it might not be heard, but it would be smelled, and the sky would be lit. Sentries would have woken up the sisters for something that big, for sure.
It has to be one of the other options.
I won't go in the usual rant against out of order scenes, though I thought that was now behind us.
Must-use-self-control!The Legion wouldn't be a bad place to infiltrate channellers serving Demandred, I guess. Recruits keep being sent.
