Episode synopsis: Tyrion seeks a strange ally; Bran learns a great deal; Brienne goes on a mission; Arya gets a chance to prove herself. SPOILERS FOR THE SHOW AND BOOKS.
How time flies. We're already hitting the half-way mark of Game of Thrones' season six with the episode 'Door'. The preview released for the fifth episode looks jam-packed, not least because of the Night King's appearance.
This time, Bran seems to move through several visions set in different points of time. We see him with the Three-Eyed Raven at Winterfell again.
Then watching the Children of the Forest, the original inhabitants of Westeros who were edged out after Man came along.
But it looks like he's alone when he sees an army of wights in the snow, before being grabbed by the Night King. Is Bran going to get lost here?
We last saw the Night King, who is believed to have been a Stark, in the episode 'Hardhome' in season five when he led White Walkers and wights against the wildlings and the Night's Watch members.
Question: How can he see and touch Bran if this just a vision?
Meanwhile, it's time for that Sansa and Baelish face-off, which has the potential to be an epic confrontation, if they give her something to do.
Fight, fight, fight!
Jon Snow will use this time to strategise and draw plans for the uprising in the North.
With her sight back, it looks like Arya is being entrusted a new task and what looks like a vial of poison.
But wait, a walk through the Hall of Faces means Arya's getting one! Which means she's getting an actual mission. Which means someone is dying.
Clue: Does death only come for the wicked and leave the decent behind?
No, Jaqen H'ghar, it does not.
In Pyke, we finally get to the kingsmoot. Here you'll see interested parties stake a claim to the Seastone Chair, seat of the leader of the ironborn. Whoever gets the most vociferous support from the men (yep) gets to rule. In the books, Euron woos the various Houses of the Iron Islands with treasures from his travels and clinches it with a horn that is believed to control dragons. His brothers Victarion and Aeron have ambitions of their own and are opposed to him taking over. However, in the show, we have Theon, the actual heir, supporting Yara's claim to the rule. That may or may not complicate matters.
Side note: Euron also has a larger plan that includes marrying Dany, winning the war using dragons and ruling Westeros.
There's also a new red priestess in the mix. Kinvara, wearing red robes and the same necklace as Melisandre, is the one Tyrion is allying with to sort out the conflicts in Mereen. But he may be getting more than what he's bargained for. Leaked scripts suggest this priestess has her own interpretation of the Azor Ahai prophecy.
After a big scene in the last episode, Daenerys is ready to move forward.
But first, she'll catch up with old friends.
Lothario Daario
and Jorah, Jorah, Jorah, the Explorer!
Sigh... give it a rest, Mormont.
