The discovery of Theresa’s so-called deception puts pressure on Sylvester and Felix to do something about Maeve. (We still don’t know what happened to Elsie, but more on that later.) On the bright side, Theresa’s death means Bernie is reinstated as Head of Behavior, which is good news because they’re incredibly short-handed. Conveniently, a satellite link was also found, leading everyone to believe that Theresa was trying to smuggle information out of the park, slipped, and fell to her death. Meanwhile, Stubbs finds Theresa’s body at the bottom of the same ravine they found the dysfunctional woodcutter.
When she goes to the river to get water for a dying man, she sees herself lying face-down, dead. Like Maeve, Dolores is having flashbacks - except it’s not clear which way they’re flashing. She and Will make their way to a riverbank where they find the victims of what Will calls a Ghost Nation ambush, but looks suspiciously like the aftermath of an attack by Wyatt. Dolores’, on the other hand, is getting murkier. She also need allies, and to get those, she needs administrative privileges, which turn out to be the Westworld equivalent of Jedi mind tricks.īasically, Maeve’s path is getting increasingly clear.

Interestingly, we learn that hosts are equipped with an explosive device that is set to detonate if they leave. Maeve has a purpose now: Getting out of the park. “You relive them,” he says.Įither way, it doesn’t matter. He explains that while humans remember things in the fuzzy details, hosts recall memories perfectly. “What the hell is happening to me?” she asks Felix. In Sweetwater, Maeve is continuing to have flashbacks to her former life as a homesteader. He couldn’t stop me either.” It’s almost as if he can’t help but compare them. Bernard is struggling with what he’s done, and so Ford makes a bargain with him: He’ll wipe his memory once all evidence of their involvement in Theresa’s death is gone.įans of the Bernie-is-Arnold theory should take note of Ford’s warning: “You’re not the first man to threaten me.
We open with Bernard and Ford in the same basement lab where he killed Theresa. With only two more episodes to go until the end of the season, this installment started to ferry us into the endgame. Far from slowing things down after last week’s big reveal, this episode, “Trace Decay,” only sped things up.
