'Game of Thrones' Season 6 updates, spoilers, rumors: Next episode to introduce a new Red Woman
Following the breath-taking fourth episode of "Game Thrones" Season 6, the teaser for the upcoming episode features a familiar red woman sporting the similar attire of the series' reigning Red Priestess, Melisandre. Also, the upcoming Episode 5 titled "The Door" will see Bran Stark facing the White Walker Army in his vision.
In the previous episode called "Book of the Stranger," the much-anticipated reunion of two Stark siblings finally happened. The first scene of the episode featured Sansa Stark (Sophie Turner) finally arriving at Castle Black, while Jon Snow (Kit Harington) saw his long lost half-sibling for the first time since they were separated in the final episodes of Season 1. The heartwarming reunion shows Jon and Sansa catching up for all those years that they were not together, although Sansa's urging to wage a war against Ramsay Bolton and his army to reclaim Winterfell was coldly rejected by his older brother, saying that he had already "lost in the fight."
Towards the end of the episode, Ramsay (Iwan Rheon) sent a letter to Jon threatening the latter to surrender Sansa to him or else he will be doing terrible things, and he could also harm their younger brother Rickon (Art Parkinson) who was captured by Ramsay's men together with Osha in an earlier episode. With his brother's life now at stake, Jon decided to prepare for a huge battle.
Meanwhile, Daenerys (Emilia Clarke) made her own move to acquire even greater power from the huge Dothraki army, as she set a tent full of Khals on fire, killing all of them. As she went out of the burning structure, unburnt, the whole Dothraki tribe bowed down to her, seeing the Targaryen as their new ruler.
The upcoming "Game of Thrones" episode will see Arya (Maisie Williams) doing an important task to prove herself as a worthy warrior. Also shown in the Episode 5 teaser is Bran (Isaac Hempstead Wright) facing a horde of White Walkers, as he was startled by the sudden appearance of the Night's King.
Perhaps the most intriguing part of the teaser is the new Red Woman. According to International Business Times UK, the name of the new red priestess is Kinarva, and like Melisandre (Carice van Houten), she is also on a quest to search for Azor Ahai, or the prophesized savior of the land. Melisandre first thought that the "chosen one" may actually be Stannis Baratheon, but her recent encounter with Jon Snow made her believe that Azor Ahai may actually be the Stark bastard.
Kinarva was seen in the trailer confronting Tyrion Lannister (Peter Dinklage), telling him that although he has been gifted with vast knowledge, he still has a lot of things to learn. The publication reported that the Meereen-based red priestess may actually see Tyrion as the savior, and she can be expected to help Tyrion gain more power and become a great ruler of the seven kingdoms.
