Did Cadsuane actually get any secrets from Semirhage during her breakdown?

Did she obtain any news on the other Forsaken? Demandred's plans? Anything?
If not, I find the justification for Semirhage's breakdown and humiliation from a plot perspective even more unconvincing.
It's purpose was supposedly for the Light to gain vital information from her. But in the end, it seems her aura as the ultimate Forsaken badass was destroyed for no plot purpose whatsoever.
She could still have captured Rand with the adam if she had just escaped from captivity without being broken by Cadsuane.
So other than meet RJ's need for "Bad Guy Humiliation", the destruction of her reputation was for nothing.

I don't think Cadsuane learned anything from Semirhage...

Of course it was necessary to the plot. It's why Shaitan sacrificed Semirhage. *NM*

Doubt that Rand's TP use was intended

It seems very reasonable that the DO would give Rand access to the TP

i thought BSand said that the DO wasn't aware ... am I making that up? *NM*

A rescue attempt at SG seems pretty difficult, though. And Min would be dead.

IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO USE THE TRUE POWER WITHOUT SHAI'TAN'S CONSENT.

We will see. The revelation what was really going on will be very interesting in any case! *NM*

But would the Shadow want her to do what Moghidien and Asmodean did?

But why would the Shadow tell Cadsuane & Co.?

Because Semirhage was broken and may have revealed it to them under interrogation/spanking. *NM*

Hmm, I doubt that Semirhage knew this, since she was concentrated on the Seanchan & Rand.

I agree that it's much more likely that Sulin told them about Tam *NM*
