Bran's visions give him new insight into the Night King and the White Walkers. During one of his visions, Bran is shown the darkest secret of the Children: they long ago created the White Walkers from captured First Men. While in a vision of Winterfell, Bran hears the cries of Meera, who is trying to save Bran's body while the Children hold back the wights. Bran splits his consciousness by remaining in the vision of the past while simultaneously controlling Hodor in the present. The Night King kills the Three-Eyed Raven, while the Children and Bran's direwolf Summer are eventually killed by the wights. Hodor closes the hideout's door behind them, keeping the wights inside while Meera escapes with Bran. Meera repeatedly orders Hodor to "hold the door" shut while they flee, which results in the wights tearing him apart. In the vision, Bran becomes overwhelmed by the split consciousness and unintentionally enters the mind of Wylis in the vision, forging a connection between the past and the present. With Bran's consciousness inside his head, Wylis suffers a seizure after hearing the echoes of Meera's orders and seeing visions of his own violent death (unknowingly) through Bran, which traumatise him. He begins to repeatedly shout the words "hold the door" while convulsing on the ground, slurring the words together until they become "Hodor." Bran watches on in shock and sadness, finally knowing the sad truth behind what made Hodor the way he was while also being confronted with the grim reality of his gruesome death.
