This Westworld Episode 5 teaser trailer will get under your skin

In another sequences, Dolores says to William, “The whole world is calling to me in a way it hasn’t before”. “Dissonance Theory” either proves that William is definitely the Man in Black or it proves that he definitely is not the Man in Black”. The Man in Black discovered the map of the maze on the scalp of one of his victims, but it’s safe to assume that he has been learning about it over the course of his time at Westworld. She says she’d like that and wakes up right where she was last week: Next to William, holding her gun. If Dolores can find the center of it, he tells her, “then maybe you can be free”. Maeve is supervising the brothel when a guest shoots everyone inside.

With hosts deviating from their loops, going on milky rampages and smashing their own brains in with rocks, Theresa’s “Quality Assurance” team is stepping in to handle all “incidents” within the park.

Maeve hasn’t completely forgotten, though.

Power-couple status: The show is setting these two up as bitter rivals, not a duo; I fear for what will happen when Cigarette Lady finds out that her lover Bernard is just a robot made by Ford.

Last week, we (along with a lot of viewers) speculated that the Man In Black is actually Arnold, and that the latter faked his own death in order to stay inside the park forever. Here she’s chatting with Bernard and she mentions the bandits killed her parents and she ran… but she opens her eyes and she’s still with William and Logan.

She doesn’t elaborate very much on why, though the scene is unnerving enough to give us some sense of why. “But the terrifying thought is if you looked at an army of AI and said, “OK we could programme them to do whatever we want, we would like world peace” they would probably just wipe out human beings”.

The great thing about Westworld is the HBO show’s creators want fans to piece together the puzzle for themselves.

Nolan: You have older storylines that Ford has literally paved over, and it’s a question how they connect to the new one he’s building now.

“In part”, she replies. Thinking Wyatt is the next clue in his search, he leaves the woman and comes across Teddy. Only tied naked to a cactus. For Miss Abernathy herself, consciousness is hardly a gift to be relished; it dredges up buried memories of murder and mayhem, and in a unusual flashback sequence, glimpses of the maze and the church that seem to be tied to Arnold and Ford’s final grand scheme.

The episode confirmed that the MIB is chasing after “Arnold’s legacy”: a mysterious, supposedly highly significant final story, woven into the fabric of the park itself.

Maeve wanted to know about the carved spaceman-like doll she’d previously seen in the hands of the Native American child, and about the disturbing memory the figure had triggered. Could he be finishing what Arnold started? Remember how he rode into the town with Rolling Stones playing in the background and then later was shot dead by a meek guest? But recall what the little girl told the MiB: that the maze isn’t meant for him. The big reveal? She uses the blood of the men who attacked her village and killed her family to create it, and she has only one man left to kill in her artistic quest for vengeance: Wyatt. But it seems important that Dolores keep going on whatever path she’s following, and having Logan argue for the black hat approach in a world where such an approach is not just possible but encouraged, raises an interesting dilemma-how can William defend his position without sounding like he’s taking things in the park more seriously than he should? That’s another man in a different place, and he’s here on vacation.

Though Harris provides a truly amoral villain in the Man in Black, whose hunt for the fabled Maze leads him toward acts of increasing depravity, the true source of evil in Westworld is the self-indulgence of its humans.

This episode leaned heavily into the video game aspect of Westworld in a big, fun way. When he fishes out a bullet, she realizes that she isn’t insane and nothing she does really matter. According to the theory, we’re watching two different timelines at once, 30 years apart.

From there, Maeve confirms that she lives in worlds, plural, when she and Hector dig a bullet out of her abdomen – a bullet that exists inside her, despite there being no wound to show for it. I think not. We have already seen the sub levels of cold storage that look like they used to be in action, so what else is Ford hiding beneath us? Now she’s searching for the maze, hoping it will give her a chance to be free from this world. Has Arnold set up his own religion of sorts to guide the aware Hosts towards him? In other words, they are memories in AI terms. That would explain why the little girl told The Man in Black that the maze wasn’t for him. It’s for the Hosts. It’s not for any guest.
