Alanna: Why do you need to see the Amrylin?
Lan: ...
Me: DON'T TELL HER MOIRAINE AND SIUAN ARE IN LOVE DON'T TELL THEIR SPECIAL SECRET
Lan: We found the dragon reborn
Me: Oh. Right. That minor side plot.

Also if Moiraine HAD actually turned to the Dark, that's one of the only things that would justify the way Siuan used that oath
That's one of the only situations where it would actually be a justifiable and proportionate (if tragic) response
Siuan accuses Moiraine of lying ("You lied to me about being stilled"), which is, by definition, also accusing Moiraine of being a darkfriend (since she can break one of the three oaths)
And like, from Siuan's perspective, this is a very reasonable conclusion! Moiraine told Siuan she was stilled. Siuan walks in on Moiraine channeling - and channeling to break the Dragon out of Aes Sedai custody. Even without all of the other lying and sketchy-looking stuff Moiraine has done, Siuan would be genuinely justified in considering this proof that her wife is Dark
Also, this makes Moiraine's "If you've ever loved me, please don't do this" gutwrenching from Siuan's perspective
It must look like Moiraine is trying to manipulate her - in order to help bring about the end of the world
No wonder Siuan is on the verge of tears

i do think it's very characteristic that in order to get to falme:
mat nopes out and then gets dumped there against his will anyway,
rand (accidentally) sparks a major incident that results in the foregate burning, the royal wedding being stopped by scandal, several aes sedai going rogue, and a bunch of relationships being ruined,
and perrin walks.
