That can be frustrating it can be harder to invest in a scene or emotional thread when it takes place in a few different timelines, and that is a ploy the drama has used a lot lately. So, as it did quite a bit last week, “Westworld” bounced around different eras in this episode. She also wore her trail ensemble while wearing that, in one scenario she was injured by Logan’s stabbing and in another she was not. It wasn’t the only outfit she sported in the episode. In one scene/memory, mutilated host bodies were ready for cleanup along the cramped hallway that Dolores traveled, and in the other, everything looked fairly normal, and she was wearing her blue prairie-girl dress. As Maeve did in an earlier episode, in “The Well-Tempered Clavier,” Dolores stumbled upon the “backstage” area of the park, where hosts are built, cleaned up and repaired, and cascades of memories were unlocked by what she found. She did remember, and she eventually found herself underneath the church - in two different scenarios.
#WESTWORLD SEASON 1 EP 1 CODE#
In any case, several times in recent episodes, we’ve heard someone whisper “Remember,” and it’s fairly likely that that quietly uttered word was a deeply buried piece of Arnold-written code inside Dolores’ programming. Hmm, was the town eventually “swallowed by sand”? It sure looks that way. The church was the key to her memories - and recall that we’ve seen that church tower in previous episodes, and once or twice, only the tower was shown. Once Dolores knew to go back to Westworld’s original town, things began to fall into place for her, even though it continues to be difficult to know when anything is happening within the narrative, given the jumping around between eras and memories, which has only increased in recent episodes. (Were any of them actually between host Bernard and Dolores? Warning: Trying to figure this out may induce a Reddit-assisted migraine.) Given that Ford has backdoor controls for all the hosts, it’s a strong possibility that Ford ordered Dolores to kill Arnold, and later wiped that knowledge from her memory, though viewers have seen many of her recollections of the conversations between Arnold and Dolores. Of course, given Dolores’ thoughtful nature, it’s very unlikely she just woke up one morning wanting to murder Arnold, for whom she clearly had very positive feelings. Thanks, alert viewers!)Īnother big reveal: At some point, Dolores killed Arnold.
Update: Alert viewers have informed me that the third man is actually either Ford’s father, or a host version of Ford’s dad. If Third Guy knows any of Ford’s key secrets, the likelihood that this unknown man is still alive is not high. (Speaking of that, there were three men in Ford’s photo of the early days of the Westworld resort - Ford, Bernard and one other guy.
