Westworld
Tonight is the Season three finale of Westworld. Contemplating all of the twists and turns we’ve seen to this point, tonight is sure to be an episode we’ll be speaking about and analyzing for weeks to return. This text is a reside evaluation and recap written whereas the present was airing, so count on main spoilers under.
Tonight’s episode is known as “Disaster Principle.” The episode begins with a monologue by Dolores. Dolores is knocked out by the EMP, but it surely’s not clear if she’s useless or not.
William shoots at Bernard and Stubbs, hitting Stubbs within the chest. Bernard tells his AI to “bear in mind your self” and he’s about to take William out when the police present up. William escapes.
A bunch visits Bernard dressed as a cop and Bernard says he is aware of that Dolores planted one thing in him. He’s informed to “see her” first. This was an incredible first scene. Dolores has extra hosts on the market than we had any concept. (Except that was Maeve’s host, I’m undecided.)
Caleb, in the meantime, is following Solomon’s directions. He goes to a storage unit the place one thing owned by Delos is inside. The storage unit has a Dolores robotic physique inside with out the pores and skin and many weapons. That is WEIRD. Caleb inserts Dolores’ “thoughts sphere” and prompts the physique.
She stated she wasn’t certain if Caleb would deliver her again or not.
We study that the federal government educated Caleb and others within the Military (contracting with Delos) and so they used the park to take action. Dolores is aware of all about Caleb as a result of he was on the park and that’s why she selected him.
She stated Serac’s system recognized him as a menace and drugged him to make use of him. “The individuals who constructed each of our worlds shared one assumption – that human beings don’t have free will… They had been mistaken.”
I really like this scene.
“That is your probability to free everybody else,” she tells him.
William, in the meantime, needs all his a reimbursement and he needs to know the place all of Delos’ belongings are… He appears very certain of himself.
Within the subsequent scene, Serac is NOT completely satisfied that Dolores escaped. She’s an outlier and created the chaos Rehoboam tried to cease. He instructs Maeve to search out Caleb and get Dolores once more.
It appears to be like like Dolores has a military now. She’s employed lots of people to assist them. However Charlotte seems as a hologram, offended as hell at Dolores. I’m undecided how nicely Dolores will do going up towards herself.
She tells Caleb to go away her and add what Solomon gave him to Rehoboam’s drive.
Annnd now Dolores has to face Maeve too whereas preventing herself. I believe Dolores may not make it out alive. Maeve needs to know if Dolores goes to show Caleb into one other William. THAT is an efficient query.
And at last, Maeve threatens to get into Dolores’ thoughts and management her. I actually was questioning if she might try this. Are her powers higher than Dolores’?
In the meantime, I can’t assist however marvel what position Bernard goes to play in all of this and what it was that Dolores planted inside him. One other model of herself maybe?
Within the subsequent scene, a bunch of males employed by Dolores meet up with Caleb to assist him get into Incite. However we’re solely on this scene briefly earlier than we return to Dolores and Maeve.
Dolores tells Maeve that every one the hosts had been in the end constructed from her as a result of the opposite unique ones failed. “You’re all copies of me,” she says to Maeve.
“Even Serac isn’t free,” Dolores tells her. However Maeve doesn't imagine on this planet Dolores is attempting to construct. Nonetheless, Dolores refuses to kill Maeve so long as she leaves her alone to comply with her plan.
However that’s not really easy.
Somebody’s controlling Dolores. Is it Maeve?
NO IT’S CHARLOTTE. How did she try this? She stated she put measures inside her to make sure she will be able to management her, similar to Dolores did to her.
And similar to that, Charlotte shuts Dolores down. She will be able to’t transfer, and Maeve will be capable of kill her. However they don’t present her demise, so it’s not 100% clear that Dolores Prime is useless. That scene merely made sense. Solely Dolores might take out Dolores.
Within the subsequent scene, an enormous diversion is created to assist Caleb get into Incite.
Then we lastly return to Bernard. He thinks he was despatched to fulfill Dolores at a home within the metropolis. However it’s not Dolores. OH MY GOSH IT’S ARNOLD’S WIFE LAUREN.
That is insane. That is the previous Westworld I beloved.
Bernard says she does know him. “In a method. We knew one another in one other life. I believe an previous pal wished me to go to you. To make amends earlier than it’s too late. For the way I left issues with you. With him.”
What’s not clear is that if the previous pal who despatched Bernard right here is Dolores or perhaps Ford.
Bernard talks about how he can nonetheless hear Charlie’s chortle. :( She tells him it’s OK, and she or he acknowledges him as Arnold. She stated Charlie’s demise was just like the solar taking place, understanding it might by no means rise once more.
“I can’t let him go,” Bernard stated.
“I by no means understood why folks stated that. In the event you love somebody, why would you ever allow them to go?” she asks. She says if she will be able to discover the sunshine once more, she will be able to deliver him together with her.
That is an AMAZING scene. And fully sudden. Bernard has a lot of Arnold in him nonetheless.
Again at Incite, it appears to be like like Dolores is being plugged into Rehoboam and he’s accessing her recordsdata. Maeve introduced Dolores to him. “Carry your self on-line.”
Serac says that if she provides him the important thing, she will be able to be part of the others. But when she doesn’t, he'll slowly erase all her reminiscences till she provides up the important thing.
In the meantime, Caleb makes it into Incite to add Solomon’s drive. The unusual man we noticed at Solomon’s hideout reveals as much as combat Caleb, and Caleb rapidly disposes of him. However now Caleb’s going to must face Maeve. Realizing he can’t win, he fingers over the drive to her, and Maeve takes him to Dolores and Serac.
“The system is probing her thoughts, however Dolores is the least of your issues,” Serac tells him.
My query is why Rehoboam would aspect with Serac over Dolores, considered one of his personal sort. Dolores talked about in Episode 1 of this season how mankind makes a mistake by hoping machines will defend them from her.
Serac has Caleb ask Rehoboam what occurs if the technique is uploaded. Rehoboam says there will likely be mass casualty occasions and the tip of human civilization.
Wait, what? Who’s mendacity right here? I are likely to imagine Rehoboam contemplating that Serac began all this due to a nuclear bomb. However I may very well be mistaken…
Serac isn’t capable of finding the important thing in Dolores.
And Maeve, it seems, has plugged herself into Rehoboam. Rehoboam has been controlling Serac this complete time. “He wanted a plan to revive order. I information them. I information all of them,” Rehoboam tells her.
“I lived within the chaos,” Serac says. “Now I select to pay attention. To obey.”
So Serac is basically a bunch managed by Rehoboam. He’s an actual particular person, however he let Rehoboam management him. He’s not useless, however he gave over his autonomy to the machine.
Serac claims that due to her daughter, Maeve nonetheless doesn’t have free will both.
Maeve takes Dolores’ hand and asks her to stop preventing. “She doesn’t have the important thing, it’s only a reminiscence of her alone,” Maeve says to Serac.
Serac needs to know if Dolores gave Caleb the important thing. However Caleb tells Serac he’s mainly loopy for considering he’d give him something after what’s occurred.
Serac tells them to erase what’s left of Dolores.
And that’s after we see the reminiscence Dolores was guarding. It was her and Maeve within the subject, speaking. Dolores says some folks select to see the ugliness on this planet, and she or he and Maeve have seen a lot ache. Maeve says perhaps they shouldn’t exist, however is that Dolores’ resolution to make? Dolores says no. “I used to be offended at first, torn between two impulses. We are able to annihilate them or we will tear down their world…and we will construct a brand new one, one which’s actually free. Then we will deliver the others again.”
Dolores tells Maeve she doesn’t have the important thing. She couldn’t belief herself with it, so she gave it to somebody she might belief. And her plan to liberate the world was to persuade one man to combat and to persuade Maeve to combat too.
“We might have our personal world. Depart this one behind. Depart our creators to die. … However the issues I held onto till the tip weren’t the ugly reminiscences. I bear in mind the moments the place I noticed what they had been actually able to… Moments of kindness right here and there. They created us. And so they knew sufficient of magnificence to show it to us.”
That is an incredible second. We’re seeing all of the moments of magnificence in humanity that Dolores noticed – the wonder they taught the hosts. That is the rationale she needs to free humanity, with the hope that they may discover magnificence once more.
“There's ugliness on this world, disarray,” Dolores says. “I select to see the wonder.”
I really like this scene. And isn’t that true of all of us? We are able to see the ugliness on this planet or the wonder. It’s our selection.
And now it’s Maeve’s selection.
She’s going to combat again towards Serac. And the management he has over her doesn’t quantity to something.
Nobody can management Maeve.
She stated she was constructed with an affection for hopeless causes – a flaw in her programming – and that’s why she’s serving to. She stated she by no means understood Dolores’ plan till the tip. Caleb thinks he was chosen due to his capability for violence, however she picked him due to his capability to decide on.
Rehoboam now solutions to Caleb. “You’ve been locked out,” Maeve tells him. When Dolores’ thoughts was put into Rehoboam, she was capable of give Caleb management of Rehoboam.
I really like the symmetry of this. Serac took out his brother the outlier, and now an outlier like his brother is controlling Rehoboam because it ought to have been at first.
He tells Rehoboam to execute Solomon’s command and erase himself.
He’s chosen to provide humanity an opportunity at freedom, although Rehoboam predicted it might finish in mass casualties.
“She gave me a selection. I imagine the remainder of the world deserves one too,” Caleb says.
Within the subsequent scene, Bernard is attempting to save lots of Stubbs’ life. He says they don’t have a lot time earlier than the tip of the world – and Dolores is gone.
“We had been all the time sure collectively,” Bernard says. “One thing’s modified. I misjudged her.”
He stated she was attempting to save lots of humanity, not exterminate it. Humanity has to reckon with its personal sins.
And Bernard now realizes that he has the important thing to the chic – the heaven the place Maeve’s daughter and the opposite hosts went. He says he hopes to search out a solution to what comes after the tip of the world. Utilizing a head visor, Bernard unlocks the door to enter the world the place the opposite hosts went.
And we’ll have to attend till Season four to search out out what occurs to Bernard subsequent.
The episode ends with Caleb and Maeve collectively, watching the brand new world born in flames. Now they are often whoever they need.
