Though his book plot was changed almost entirely, The Wheel of Time TV show creates a strong character arc that only improves Mat Cauthon.

The Big Picture Prime Video's The Wheel of Time adapts Robert Jordan's epic fantasy series about Rand al'Thor and his friends as they take up their roles as ta'veren and shape the world. But before making it to the screen, the story has undergone some significant changes. Though, understandably, the show doesn't have time to include every moment from the fourteen-book series, many of the differences are more than cutting a plot point here and there.

Yet the sudden disappearance of Mat in Season 1 puts him in a different place at the beginning of Season 2 as Finn takes over the role. Freed of the dagger, Mat is trapped in the White Tower at the start of the new season, regretting his actions and believing his friends hate him. This beginning requires further changes, as the next part of Mat's plot revolves around the dagger being stolen before he's healed and a race to find it.

After the long separation, Mat gets a heartfelt reunion with Rand after both have been out of contact with their friends for months. They discuss what's happened to them, and Rand assures Mat that no one blames him for leaving, though Mat remains unconvinced. Yet again, this shows Mat struggling with guilt while his relationship with his long-time friend demonstrates the best in him.
