"The Red Woman" is the first episode of the sixth season of HBO's fantasy television series Game of Thrones, and the 51st overall. The episode was written by series co-creators David Benioff and D. B. Weiss, and directed by Jeremy Podeswa.

At Castle Black, the body of Jon Snow (Kit Harington) is discovered by Ser Davos Seaworth (Liam Cunningham), and loyal members of the Night's Watch protect his lifeless body. Meanwhile, Melisandre (Carice van Houten) has begun to lose her faith in the Lord of Light. Near Winterfell, Sansa Stark (Sophie Turner) and Theon Greyjoy (Alfie Allen) escape, but are caught by Bolton forces and saved by Brienne of Tarth (Gwendoline Christie). In Dorne, Ellaria Sand (Indira Varma) murders Prince Doran Martell (Alexander Siddig), whilst Jaime Lannister (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau) returns to King's Landing with the body of his dead daughter. In the Dothraki Sea, Daenerys Targaryen (Emilia Clarke) is taken prisoner by the khalasar of Khal Moro (Joe Naufahu).
