"The Door" is the fifth episode of the sixth season of HBO's fantasy television series Game of Thrones, and the 55th overall. The episode was written by series co-creators David Benioff and D. B. Weiss, and directed by Jack Bender.

Beyond the Wall, Bran Stark (Isaac Hempstead Wright) learns the origin of the White Walkers, and ventures out in a vision where he is caught by the Night King (Vladimir Furdik) allowing the White Walker army to enter the tree and forcing Bran to escape with the help of Meera Reed (Ellie Kendrick) and Hodor (Kristian Nairn). At Castle Black, Jon Snow (Kit Harington) plans to unite the north against the Boltons, and in the Iron Islands, Euron Greyjoy (Pilou Asbæk) is elected in the Kingsmoot with Yara Greyjoy (Gemma Whelan) subsequently stealing his entire fleet. Across the Narrow Sea, Tyrion Lannister (Peter Dinklage) decides to enlist the Red Priestess Kinvara (Ania Bukstein) in Meereen, and Daenerys Targaryen (Emilia Clarke) commands Jorah Mormont (Iain Glen) to heal himself of his greyscale.
