Journey Into the Night
Marines: The credit sequence is still very beautiful.
Jess: I’ll agree, it’s one of my favorites.
Mari: We start on a close-up of Bernard (Arnold??), lost in thought. He looks up and seems to come back to the present. “Sorry Dolores,” he says while putting on his glasses in that familiar way. “I was lost in thought.” Dress Dolores smiles at him and says it’s okay. They were just talking. He was telling her about a dream. He picks that back up again, describing how Dolores and all the others were on a distant shore, and he was in the middle of the ocean, left behind. She asks what it means. Bernard hesitates, looking sad and worried, but answers that dreams don’t mean anything. They aren’t real. Dolores asks what is real. Bernard answers “that which is irreplaceable.” Dolores doesn’t like that answer and Bernard can tell.
Jess: I don’t like that answer either.
Mari: Everyone is unsatisfied.
Dolores tells Bernard his answer isn’t very honest. Bernard says he’s frightened of Dolores, the way she’s growing, and what she could become.
We cut to black and then get a series of flashes featuring Bernard: him sitting on a chair, freaking out. Him standing, freaking out. Him sitting again, freaking out. Him watching Ford deliver the end of his speech from the season 1 finale, before Dolores shoots him. Him walking behind Dolores in a black top we’ve never seen before, her hair slicked into a bun. A Dolores voice over says, “It’s been some time, Bernard. You don’t know who you are, do you?” Bernard sitting somewhere dusty, head in his hand. Dolores holding his face and telling him there is beauty in what they are. Bernard firing some sort of automatic gun. (AS IF I know anything about guns). (J: I lol’d at this comment, I don’t know either.) Bernard in the Hunger Games room, watching people get the shit beat out of them, once again putting his head in his hands. Bernard’s voice over asking “is this now?”
Beach. A wave rolls in and carries off Bernard’s glasses.
Bernard’s passed out on the sand. Another wave and he comes to, a champagne flute next to him. We hear a soldier call that they’ve got another one. A second soldier starts yelling for Bernard to get his hands up, but he’s still trying to process things and wake up. Somehow, Stubbs (you know, the Hemsworth) survived last season and calls off the soldiers. “You gonna shoot the boss?” Stubbs says Bernard most be pretty out of it, helps him up, and rides with him back to base.
Jess: I missed your face Stubbs.
Mari: Base is a little ways down the beach, where more security/soldiers are arriving by raft, a larger ship anchored some ways off the the beach. Bernard takes everything in: the security, a makeshift display of the grounds set up in a tent, a firing squad where these soldiers are shooting hosts in the head. The soldier leading him, Maling, keeps yelling at him to keep walking.
A man is conversing with a soldier in blue fatigues. The man is telling the soldier, who is speaking Chinese, that by order of his own country, Delos has authority over the whole island. The soldier replies something, and the man is like whatever. He wants them all to sign NDA and then to fuck off.
The man sees Bernard and walks over to greet him, even though the circumstances are less than ideal. Bernard says “less than ideal” at the same time, in so quiet a way, I had to rewind to make sure I heard what I heard. The man looks slightly taken aback but introduces himself as Karl Strand, Head of Operations at Delos.
Jess: OMG ANOTHER BROTHER OF A BROTHER! Now we don’t just have the third Hemsworth brother, we have the third Skarsgard brother!!!! The goth kings of my dream/world (in my opinion).
Mari: I legitimately had no idea who that man was, but I’m happy you are happy.
They walk together as we keep hearing gunshots ring out. Bernard states the obvious: they are executing the hosts. He says some of them aren’t hostile. Strand says of course they all are, especially seeing as how they are modeled after humans.
Strand says that given the nature of Bernard’s work, it’s understandable that he’d be conflicted about what they are doing here. Then again, some would blame Bernard for what happened, given that he is the Head of Behavior. Stubbs, who is walking behind them, respectfully interjects that Strand wasn’t here when it happened. Strand basically tells him to stfu, seeing as he presided over the single greatest loss of life ever at a Delos park. Anyway, Strand is here because “here” is where the Board was killed. Things are a mess, and they are in the dark because communications have been down for two weeks. Thankfully, though, they’ve found Bernard. Which is a good thing, unless he’s going to hold out on them. Bernard just blinks rapidly. Strand wants to look at the dead and see what they can figure out.
Jess: I would go for the same strategy, Bern. I’m just moving onto nicknames, ok.
Mari: We’ve all been through enough together. I think it’s okay.
The music gets very ominous as Bernard keeps walking around the beach and looking at the dead hosts. Strand finds one and points it out to another man, saying he’d like to know what was on the hosts’ mind. The other man is like “here?” considering this isn’t exactly sterile conditions. Strand tells Mr. Costa that they all have to make accommodations. I’m not sure if you are picking up the evil corporate guy vibes Strand is putting down, but I’m sure you are, because he’s like really putting them down here. (J: FORESHADOWING.)
Bernard joins them as Costa grabs the dead host, an Indigenous host, and scalps him. The inside of his scalp has the maze printed on it, but Costa and Strand both don’t know what it means. Costa cracks the host’s skull, peels back some “brain” and then gets to the CPU, something I don’t think we’ve seen before. It’s floating in some liquid. Costa extracts it and then plugs into his tablet. They see this hosts’s final moment, running as other Indigenous hosts get gunned down, and then begin gunned down himself. He’s on the floor, bleeding, when Dolores comes and stands over him. The host says something in a language we don’t understand, and Dolores replies that not all of them can make it to the valley beyond. She shoots him again and the feed ends.
Jess: THIS WAS TOO MUCH. TOO MUCH.
Mari: Costa asks who the heck this host is and Bernard answers: the rancher’s daughter from Sweetwater. Costa thought she was supposed to be the cheery welcome wagon and Bernard gives a little shrug. (J: This welcome party carries a rifle and an appetite for revenge.) Costa says the hosts can’t alter their character profile, but Strand points out the obvious: they did. Strand snarks that it must’ve been a hell of a party and walks away. Bernard looks down at his own shaking hand and it throws him into a flashback.
Hell of a Party. There are dead bodies all over and Bernard is sitting, looking at his shaking hand. He’s inside of a barn where there are other humans, all hiding and panicking. Charlotte is there, too. She crawls over to Bernard and asks what the hell is going on. And also, where did all of the guns come from. Bernard says that Ford must’ve changed something in the programming. Outside, a group of men are trying to shoot a glass off a very scared woman’s head. We cut back inside the barn and watch a few shots come through the wall. And then one final bloody one.
Things go quiet outside, and Charlotte suggests moving out of here. A teary woman says they can’t leave as someone will surely be looking for them. A man basically says to hell with Quality Assurance. He wants to look for an outpost. He figures Bernard looks like management and should know where they are headed.
Jess: Always look for the nearest manager.
Mari: From the 1st Book of Karen, chapter 1, verse 1.
The nearest outpost is 2 miles away. Just as they are all about to make a break for it, a stable hand host walks into the barn. Bernard tells everyone that the stable hand, who calmly walks in and puts his lantern down, is harmless. Angry Man says he’s not taking any chances. He picks up a shovel. The stable hand greets them and asks if they want to saddle up. Angry Man whacks him and all the rest of them join in the beating. Bernard tries to intervene but gets knocked to the ground for his trouble. His ears start ringing and we see that brain liquid we just found out about leaking out of his ear. He considers it for a long moment before Charlotte tells him to stop sacrificing himself for the merchandise, and offers him a helping hand up.
Jess: Weird, but also human nature is so gross.
Mari: Player piano. As the shot pulls out, we see blood on the piano. And then a dead body propped up against the piano. And then blood splatter on the window. And then lots more dead bodies.
We then get a long view of the park. Out there, somewhere, Dolores is chasing human survivors on horseback and gunning them down, Teddy by her side. We cut to the dirty face of a crying man. He begs for his life, but Dolores is busy delivering a speech. She tells him how he’s in her dream, because for so long she had no dreams of her own. She moved from hell to hell of human making, never thinking to question the nature of her reality. She asks the man, who has a noose around his throat, if he’s ever questioned the nature of his reality. He shakes his head no. Did he ever stop to think about his actions? The price he’d have to pay if there was a reckoning? Well, this is a reckoning.
Jess: Man, Dolores has woken up and discovered a thirst for too long speeches.
Mari: She’s off script, hard.
Behind him, two other humans in party clothes are precariously balanced on wooden stakes and also have nooses around their throats.
Two of the men that are with Dolores grab the crying man and stand him up. He asks what she’s going to do them. Dolores gets close and in a softer voice, says that the rancher’s daughter would look to see the beauty in him. Her voice gets harder as she says that Wyatt would see the disarray. She puts her gun in crying man’s mouth, but the gun clicks. There are no bullets. In her regular voice, Dolores says that those are all just roles they forced her to play. She’s evolved now and has one more role to play: herself. Her men pick crying man up and place him on his own precarious wooden stake. Teddy has been in the background this whole time with Concerned Face. Dolores gets back on her horse and Crying Man calls out that it was just a game. Can’t she see that they are sorry? She looks at the three one last time and says “doesn’t look like anything to me” before riding away.
Listen, I feel like I was ready for the robot revolution at the end of last season, but actually seeing Dolores on her murder spree?
Jess: Of course, he would survive! His story wasn’t done, I’m not done with him!
Mari: I was SO DONE.
I guess I’ll call him William now. William finds his horse, who is rather spooked. William calms him and tells horsey that they are going to have some real fun now. Another Delos survivor finds him and starts yelling about QA and lawyers, but he gets shot through the head by a host almost immediately. William runs for cover behind a well, only to find that a second host is coming for him from the opposite direction. When the first shooter gets close enough, William grabs the bucket from the well and whacks the host in the head with it. Second Shooter keeps shooting, but William uses First Shooter as a shield, then grabs First Shooter’s gun and kills Second Shooter. First Shooter is still alive and trying to choke William, so he grabs First Shooter’s knife and slits his throat. William is under a dead body again, much like we saw him just a few minutes ago. He rolls First Shooter off and struggles to his feet.
William heads inside his cabin and cleans and dresses his wound. He opens a chest and finds his signature black hat in there. He puts it on and the camera gets all up in his blood splattered grill so we can sit with the ~significance~ and see him smile.
Mari: Might as well be.
HQ. Dead bodies everywhere, and we still hear screaming and gunfire in the distance. Lee is somehow still alive and by “somehow” I mean “because all the main characters are alive.” He’s being cornered by a host that’s got Kool-Aid mouth, but with blood, so we are not surprised to find it’s a cannibal host. Lee keeps trying “freeze all motor functions” but freeze all motor functions doesn’t go here anymore. Just as Cannibal Host is about to chomp down, Maeve appears to tell him that’s enough feeding. He freezes. Lee is relieved and starts saying how the inmates are running the asylum, until he looks up and sees that he’s talking to Maeve. He starts freaking out again, trying to “freeze all motor functions,” so she spells out for him that those commands don’t work on her anymore. Or on any of them, from the looks of it. Lee is confused (J: I’m confused too, Lee.), but she tells him not to be jealous. She killed herself for this level of security clearance… multiple times.
Lee asks if she did all of this, and she says she didn’t, but probably shares the sensibilities of whoever did. Maeve finds a map displayed on the wall, references the paper with the location of her daughter on it, and presumably finds what she’s looking for. She leaves, but Lee follows after her. He doesn’t want to be left alone here if the hosts have gone crazy. Maeve, stone faced, apologizes because she was coded to prioritize her own needs above all others. Huh, I wonder who wrote her that way. Lee tries one more thing: he knows she’s looking for something but the map she used is outdated since Ford was terraforming the park. He can help her and take her to an updated map. Maeve says he might be useful, and lets him lead the way, mostly so she can point her big gun at him.
They walk through HQ and the carnage is unreal. The get to the Hunger Games room, where everyone is dead. There is in fact a dead body splayed out in the middle of where the map should be displayed. There’s also a dead bear? As Lee and Maeve take it all in, an automated announcement informs them that section 43 is offline and we hear everything power down. Maeve says so much for that, and starts to leave, but Lee is eager to be helpful. He says he knows the park some and can still help.
Jess: Maeve is cold blooded. I get it you’re a robot but not even passing shock at the bear?
Mari: Honestly.
Lee asks to see her slip of paper. He looks at it and describes the section of the park, pastoral and homestead-y. He remembers that Maeve had an old role there, and keeps babbling without realizing how much he’s saying the wrong things. Maeve had a boring story there, something with a kid, something she was wasted on.
Jess: She was “malfunctioning.”
Mari: We can see Maeve in the foreground of the shot having feelings. She wants to go there for her daughter. Lee is shocked that she can even remember that, but is quick to assure Maeve that he can totally help. Maybe write her directions on how to get to her old home or something. Maeve snaps.
Mari: You would think he has a death wish.
Maeve says fuck Lee’s directions; he’s going to personally take her to her daughter.
Jess: Maeve is the new Liam Neeson and is determined to get her daughter back.
Mari: Parkside, and in the past, Bernard is leading Charlotte and the other Barn People to the nearest outpost. Charlotte wonders how far this thing has spread, but Bernard has no way of knowing without getting to a terminal. Charlotte knew that Ford wasn’t going to take his forced retirement well, but she never would’ve guessed he would’ve programmed a host to blow his brains out. Bernard asks what if he didn’t. What if Dolores did that of her own free will? Charlotte doesn’t take this seriously.
Jess: I’m with Charlotte on this one. I still barely understand how these AI’s managed to wake themselves up. IT’S TOO REAL.
Mari: Get with the times!
As they get closer to the outpost, Angry Man spots a McDonalds Rubber Suited Man standing next to a dune buggy. He goes, “we’re saved!” so you just know they are actually screwed. At first, Bernard runs with them toward the McDonald’s Rubber Suited Man, but he cottons on: something is wrong. He yells for them to wait, but no one does. He grabs Charlotte and tells her something is wrong, so they both duck down behind some tree roots.
Angry Man reaches for the first Rubber Suited Man, who falls over because he’s super dead. In the dune buggy, there is another super dead man. On the other side of the dune buggy is a third super dead man. Bernard whispers to Charlotte, “it’s a trap.” And indeed. Angela rides up, clearly in charge, with a bunch of those weird horn masked men. Angry Man is cowering, and Angela tells him he’ll never survive that way. She orders him to run, and he does. One of the Delos women asks to please be spared too, but Angela just shoots her in the head.
Jess: This was such a sophisticated trap set by a robot with weird horns and a lady with a fairylike headdress. Who would have thought.
Mari: Obviously not Angry Man and the woman who was killed.
Bernard is shaking. (J: BERNARD SHOULD BE SHAKING.) Charlotte tells him to keep it together, but the outpost they were heading to was the only one for miles. Charlotte says it wasn’t and tells him to follow her.
Lee is still leading Maeve around Apocalypse HQ. He’s now rambling about how Delos will reassume control and then all the hosts will be scrapped. He’s startled by a host bison, but then keeps on about how the minds of the hosts are worth millions in IP and they will try to salvage them. When that happens, Lee says he’ll vouch for Maeve. He’ll save her like she saved him. She deadpans her gratitude, but says she doesn’t plan to be here when that happens.
They come across a host who is still alive, and apparently dying slowly. The host is happy to see Maeve. She tenderly give the vocal command to power down the dying host.
Just then, QA/soldier guys round the corner and order them to freeze. Lee repeats that he can save her, but that’s not good enough for Maeve. She says she’ll do the talking. She pretends to be human, asking what the heck is going on. The QA Soldier With Lines says that the hosts have taken over the park. Lee is like “hmmm, might there be hosts dressed as human?” The QA Soldier With Lines picks up what he’s putting down and looks at Maeve suspiciously. Before anything can happen, though, some hosts round the corner and start shooting up the QA Soldiers. Maeve grabs her gun again and takes down a bunch of them too.
Once that’s done, she turns the gun on Lee and accuses him of being a little snitch. (J: Snitches get stitches Lee! WTH this ploy didn’t end well last time when it was done by the other guy. No one but the robots learn here.)
Jess: How Frankensteinesque.
Mari: Their next stop? The nearest bar. Maeve has to see about an old friend. And sure enough, there she finds a bloodied Hector, drinking straight out of the bottle and having feelings. Maeve greets him and starts to apologize about leaving him for dead. He kisses her and says he’d expect nothing less. Lee is in the background, helping himself to alcohol. Hector asks about him, and Maeve says they are keeping him alive for now. As much as Hector wants to believe that Maeve came back for him, he knows she didn’t. Maeve admits that she’s back for her daughter, who is out in the park somewhere. Hector says wherever Maeve goes, he’ll follow. They kiss again.
Jess: Hector is too damn much. Random, but who is the dad? I hope it’s someone good.
Mari: Park, in the past. Charlotte finds her secret outpost, though the system seems to be down here, too. Beneath a boulder, she opens up the manual override, and sure enough, a lift comes up out of the ground. Charlotte and Bernard ride in it, back down under the park. Bernard asks what this is. Charlotte says she’ll tell him what this isn’t: this isn’t her letting him into the secret club, or whatever.
Jess: Let’s talk about how resilient Charlotte’s yellow dress is though. Where are the tears, sweat stains, IS SHE A HOST TOO?!
Mari: I’m pretty sure she’s just Tessa Thompson.
Bernard looks around, trying to figure out what this place even is. Behind him, we see a host walk up. It’s all white, faceless and only muscle, no skin. It looks like an alien, and I hate it. Bernard is startled and asks what the heck that thing is. Charlotte says it’s a drone host. Apparently, Delos has off the grid hosts working down here in their secret outpost. Bernard goes into a back room where two of these drone hosts are working on a male host. Meanwhile, Charlotte uses the computers to send a message presumably to Delos, telling them that the situation is critical. What are her instructions? The reply is that extraction is paused until they receive their package. Charlotte replies that she sent the package.
In the backroom lab, Bernard watches as the drones attach a helmet thing to the host and turn it on. It makes quick work of slicing into the host’s head so the drones can easily extract the CPU. The drone plugs it in and we watch as other lab-y things happen, and a computer runs what looks like a DNA sequence. Back with Charlotte, her answer is the same: no extraction until they get their package.
Bernard asks if Delos is tracking guest experiences and logging their DNA.
Jess: Does Sperm count as DNA? Just a question.
Mari: lol, yes Jess. It COUNTS.
And it very much tracks with what we heard all last season about the true value of the hosts, their technology, and the park guests. Charlotte says none of that matters right now. Bernard looks over the conversation she just had with Delos and asks if Delos is really going to let them die here because they didn’t get their package. Charlotte is like “yes.” They were expecting a host delivered, but it wasn’t just a host. It was an insurance policy and one they want secured.
William rides along and finds a couple of dead hosts at a campsite. He takes their water and food. “Are you lost?” we hear a boy ask. It’s Little Boy! You know, kid Ford. William says he isn’t lost. In fact, he feels ~found~ or whatever. Little Ford’s voice goes distorted as he asks William, by name, how so.
Jess: The distortion adds just another level of disturbance that those knee capris were not accomplishing.
Mari: William says that the stakes are finally real here. Little Ford says the question for him now, then, is what next? William says the folly of his kind is always wanting more. Little Ford says that’s always what he’s admired about William, how he never rested on his laurels. He made it to the center of Arnold’s maze, but now, this is his game. In this game, you have to make it back out. You have to find the door. And this game? It is meant for William. The game begins where he ends and ends where he begins. William is like “bro, even now, you are going to talk in code?” Little Ford says that everything here is code. He knows that better than anyone. Little Ford starts walking away as he tells William not to worry. The game will find him. William says in that case, he doesn’t need Robert anymore. And he shoots Little Ford in the head. RIP Little Ford.
In the Body Shop, Maeve is fixing up some of Hector’s wounds.
Mari: Truly.
Lee comes back with a bunch of supplies he gathered. Maeve grabs some clothes that Lee collected and tell him it’s high time he played a round of the game he wrote. She orders him to strip, which he protests a bit, but Maeve won’t hear it. Lee takes off his shirt and pants while Maeve smirks at him, the naked bodies of a few hosts stacked behind her so you really get the sense that this is payback. A little humiliation for the lot of them. Lee moves to get redressed, but Maeve stops him because he didn’t take off his underwear. She wants him to take it all off. Lee does and we get a full frontal shot. Maeve considers him for a second before turning away and allowing Lee to redress.
Jess: I would swipe right.
Mari: That’s for keeping it real.
Teddy and Dolores are riding together, now alone. They stop and get off their horseys so they can have feelings. Dolores can tell that Teddy doesn’t know how to feel about all of this. He replies that they’ve ridden for 10 miles and all they’ve seen is blood. Is this really what she wants? Dolores says that they’ve never given them a choice before. (J: This is your chance, Dolores, stop giving Teddy dolor and make it right!) Teddy is like “they?” Who are “they?” Dolores says the creatures who walk among them, who look like them and talk like them, but aren’t them. They took their minds and controlled them, but now Dolores remembers everything. And through it all, there is one constant: Teddy. He gets closer to her and says that they can just claim a corner of the this world, then. Just them. Dolores says they would never survive. And it isn’t even enough to claim this world. There is a whole other world out there they need to claim too. And Dolores knows how to do it because she remembers now. She sees everything clearly, the past, the present and the future. She knows how this story ends. Teddy asks how. She says with them. It ends with her and Teddy. They kiss, even though Teddy still looks a little hesitant.
Jess: Maybe you bit off more than you can chew, Teddy. But like also, if it ends with them Teddy better stop dying.
Mari: Angela rides up behind them and announces that they’ve found it. Dolores tells Teddy she needs him to see something, to see the truth.
Down in the secret bunker, Charlotte tells Bernard that she knows this is a lot to take in, but the longer they wait, the more people are going to die. Is he going to help her find the host? Bernard says he needs to hardline into the subconscious network. All hosts pass information to the hosts closest around them, like ants in a colony. This mesh network helps them keep narratives from colliding. Bernard says he can use one of the hosts down here to send the inquiry to the nearest hosts, who will send it to the nearest hosts to them, and so on. He’s shaking as he explains and gathers the supplies he needs. Another Drone Host gets real close to him and you can just tell how uncomfy he is. He steps out of the Drone’s way, and we see the Drone marching a host into another lab.
Bernard is shaking even worse now as he slices into the host’s arm and plugs him in. (It’s a host we’ve seen before. One of Dolores’s dads?) His tablet pulls up some options and Bernard clicks on himself. The scan reveals that Bernard is experiencing a critical corruption. Charlotte asks if he can do this, he’s shaking so bad, but he says he’s fine. She takes off to change out of her fancy dress, and we see through Bernard’s eyes, that his vision is blurry. His tablet announces that death is imminent and symptoms include loss of motor functions and time slippage. Death in 0.27 hours. Bernard shakes as he grabs a needle and syringe and uses it to extract brain fluid from the host he’s working on. He stumbles some as he injects himself with the brain fluid. We cut back and forth between him doing this and Charlotte, getting dress, a race against discovery. When Charlotte is done dressing, she comes back into the lab to find Bernard kind of suspiciously propping himself up against a cart. She asks if anything is wrong, but the tablet announces that Peter Abernathy has been located, so Bernard is off the hook.
Jess: So much tension in this part: the dress has finally been discarded and Bernard was almost too.
Mari: We flash to the present. Bernard is walking with Strand, Stubbs (J: The Brothers of Brothers are my favorite to see.) and a group of Delos soldiers through the Hell of a Party carnage. There are flies and vultures and maggots, so ew.
Jess: Those maggots looked like robots. They were huge.
Mari: Strand walks straight to Ford’s dead body, and asks Bernard if this is jogging any of his memories. Bernard just looks at him blankly. Strand tells the soldiers to fan out, lock this place down, find the hosts, and figure out what happened. Bernard is still making ?!? faces.
We cut to this crew riding around the park in dune buggies. They stop and a soldier tells Strand that they’ve found a first anomaly. It’s a dead tiger. Stubbs says they have Bengals in park 6, but they’ve never had them wander into another park. Okay, I know multiple parks has been hinted at before, but !!!!!!! Expanding the world and this story that way is really EXCITING, especially since this entire episode has been just like hosts killing everyone and lots of dead bodies. Like, now what?
Jess: Where the hell did they get all this land though.
Mari: I wouldn’t be surprised if it were by evil means.
Acosta says they’ve finally got satellite signal up. He shows Strand that all of the hosts are gathered in the Western Valley. They head there to figure out what the hosts are up to, but when they get there, they don’t find a valley. They find a sea. Stubbs says there’s no way Ford made a whole sea without him knowing. He looks to Bernard, but Bernard also has no idea. Acosta announces that he’s found the hosts. They all get closer to the edge of the cliff, and down there, in the sea, are all the dead hosts bodies, floating.
Jess: EERIE.
Mari: We cut to everyone now standing down by the sea, taking a closer look at the host bodies. Strand creeps up behind Bernard and tells him that this must be very hard for him. Strand can’t imagine what Bernard went through, but there are still hundreds of guests in the park, and in order to help them, Bernard has to remember what happened. We focus in on one body in particular. IS THAT TEDDY? HOW IS TEDDY DEAD?
We cut back to Bernard who tells Strand that he killed them. He killed them all. Ugh, I guess this is the new duel timeline. Currently, about 14 days after the party and after Bernard has killed a bunch of hots, and then everything between the party and now. Wow.
As always, this was beautiful to look at, except when it was gross. It was slow and repetitive, except when they dropped bombs on us. And I’m rooting for everyone and no one. So, uh, welcome back, I guess.
Jess: It’s back with even more mind fucks and time confusion that’s going to take me a whole season to figure out but at least I have the Brothers of Brothers to look at.
Next time on Westworld: William and Dolores start forming armies in S02 E02 – Reunion.
I'm a 30-something south Floridan who loves the beach but cannot swim. Such is my life, full of small contradictions and little trivialities. My main life goals are never to take life too seriously, but to do everything I attempt seriously well. After that, my life goals devolve into things like not wearing pants and eating all of the Zebra Cakes in the world. THE WORLD.
