Ford led Bernard to believe he had a wife and a child (Charlie) who the pair lost tragically. That “her,” as it turns out, is not Dolores, but Bernarnold’s former wife figure, Lauren (Gina Torres). He coolly gives Bernard a silver suitcase and a mission of his own: to go see her. The phony SFPD shows up and Lawrence (Clifton Collins Jr.), presumably the host Dolores in whom deposited her final fifth pearl, returns in style. But Bernard (Jeffrey Wright) reclaims his identity and his strength to fight William off. On a war path and hell-bent on eradicating all the hosts to save the world, William (Ed Harris) shoots Stubbs (Luke Hemsworth) in the chest. Meanwhile, the buddy comedy continues apace at the gas station. The robot heaven, where the lucky hosts who made that leap in the season 2 finale exist in their minds, is the show’s golden egg hiding all the biodetails that Serac needs to keep his control over humanity. The Sublime, and he’s not above nauseating glow-in-the-dark tubes to get it. He’s hot for the key to virtual robot Eden, a.k.a. Serac begins erasing the memories on her hard drive to get to what he’s always been after. Caleb gets so close to uploading Solomon’s strategy into Rehoboam, but Serac’s muscle puts an end to it, taking him to Dolores, who we find hooked up for mind-probing purposes. The show is still not done putting these hosts through the wringer. This allows Maeve to take advantage of Dolores’ stalled state and capture her to get her to Serac (Vincent Cassel) over at Incite. Dolores lets Maeve go, but then Charlotte intervenes to shut Dolores down completely. This act of unexpected kindness may have factored into Maeve’s late-in-the-game decision to side with Dolores as she’s drawing her last breaths. So they built all of you from me.” When she pins Maeve down, rather than killing her, she chooses to let her go. He chooses.) Man or machine, every other player in this story has been far more merciless.ĭolores’ confrontation with Maeve and Charloresĭolores and Maeve tussle, and we hear Dolores deliver a highly meme-able flex that hosts are all derivative and follow her original status as Arnold’s first successful creation. (He’s committed both violent acts and generous ones. Recall that Westworld sets Dolores’s destructive path in motion by showing that she will literally hurt and kill a fly. A complex protagonist though he is, if he has the option, he would do no harm, which positions him as a seemingly excellent candidate for the one to build a new world. Whether it’s passing on “personals” or allowing one hostage to escape with his life, he’s one of the few good guys in a story with a pretty low bar for them, despite his own fears that he is evil. Though he didn’t know then that robots were sentient, saving her kind from trauma is one of the many ways the show differentiates Caleb. Caleb had been training with everyone else, but he stood out.Īs we later learn, the fact that Caleb stopped his fellow soldiers in the simulated trenches from sexually assaulting the “girls” was not lost on Dolores-because she was one of them. That would be in Delos Park 5, which was closed to the public for army training where soldiers used the hosts for target practice. We get one: clarity on how they actually first met. Skeptical of her motives, which she never explains to him entirely, he chains her up and demands some answers. (She activated the EMP in episode 7, and we now see Caleb making off with her pearl as he tears up to California on his motorcycle.) His destination? The Itaidoshin Distillery on Hope Street in Los Angeles, where yet another Dolores in her skeletal birthday suit is ready for another rodeo. As Serac’s man Sebastian discovers at the Sonora facility in Mexico, Dolores lies lifeless with her core removed. The finale kicks off right where episode 7 left off. But before we get into that curtain dropper, let’s make sense of everything in the finale that led us here.
