Arianna and Maple continue their journey through Game of Thrones with Season 6, Episode 5, "The Door," an episode renowned for its emotional impact and significant plot developments.

In this episode, Bran Stark's visions reveal the origin of the White Walkers, created by the Children of the Forest to defend against men. However, during a vision, Bran is marked by the Night King, allowing the White Walkers to breach the cave's magical defenses. As the wights attack, Meera urges Hodor to "hold the door" to allow their escape. Bran wargs into Hodor in the past, causing young Wylis to experience his future death, leading to his repetitive utterance "Hodor," a contraction of "hold the door." This tragic revelation explains Hodor's condition and culminates in his heroic sacrifice.

Elsewhere, Sansa confronts Littlefinger about his role in her marriage to Ramsay Bolton. He informs her that her uncle, Brynden "Blackfish" Tully, has retaken Riverrun, prompting Sansa to consider seeking his support against the Boltons. Meanwhile, Arya continues her training with the Faceless Men, receiving an assignment to assassinate an actress named Lady Crane. In Meereen, Tyrion and Varys enlist the Red Priestess Kinvara to spread Daenerys's message, despite Varys's skepticism. On the Iron Islands, Euron Greyjoy is elected king, leading Yara and Theon to flee with the best ships of the Iron Fleet.
