  ===At the Wall===
  Jon and Tormund return to Castle Black, accompanied by the surviving Night's Watch and wildlings from Hardhome. Thorne, despite his disagreements with Jon, ultimately orders the gate to be opened to let them pass. Jon believes that his mission was a failure, though Sam points out that he still saved thousands of wildlings that would have been killed by the White Walkers. Jon is also aware that many of his Night's Watch brothers are unhappy with wildlings being let past the Wall, and Thorne warns him that his compassion will get them all killed.
