You Frighten Me Sometimes, Dolorous

As we take a look back before everything went to hell, we find Bernard’s been wrestling with what to do with his way-too-advanced host Dolorous he feels will undoubtedly outgrow the park and programming and basically become exactly who she has this season. While he struggles with the morality of the subject, Dolorous tells him, “No, that’s not what he said.” He, obviously, being Arnold, her creator. Very quickly the tables get turned and Dolorous tells Bernard to freeze all motor functions and now he’s the one in the hot seat. This leads us to believe Bernard’s ethical choices this season have something to do with changes made to his programming earlier on by none other than Dolorous.
Meanwhile, in the present day park, Dolorous and a newly rebooted (and much more violent) Teddy make their way to the repaired train to find her host father, Peter Abernathy, being held at a Delos base by Charlotte Hale. The only way for the humans to be extracted from the park is if they bring Abernathy with them — he has the data they’ve been mining from guest experiences corporate needs. At the end of the day, business is business.
Present day Bernard and Elsie are at the secret Delos base within the park where they’re going through all the corporate coding realizing how twisted their employers really are. Ford has all the codes worth a damn encrypted so deep the only way they can figure out what’s really happening is by extracting Bernard’s host memory file quite literally from this skull and use his programming to counter a way inside Ford’s network as only a high-level host could do.
The Assassin And Her Witch

Back in the Shogun section of the park, Maeve and Akane take care of any more opposing threats, the two being called an assassin and a witch for what they had done last week. The two samurai warriors from rival groups decide to fight for glory in lieu of any more mass murder. Maeve’s champion Musashi slices his way to victory and our pals are back on the road!
Maeve, Hector, Akane, Musashi and the rest of the crew make their way to find Maeve’s daughter. Sizemore and Philip go ahead to find a way out of the park and back in a lab to help with the tracking. The exit is a lot less glamorous than they’d hoped but still effective. Akane and Musashi opt to stay behind, now that they’re oppressors are killed and they can strive to find some semblance of peace. As they slide down a trash chute on the edge of Shogun, they arrive in a really bloody and damaged Delos base. But hey, at least it’s progress.
A tunnel between sections in the park leads Maeve and the group right to the hillside where her daughter should be. She tells Hector and the rest to let her bring her daughter back herself, and they watch from the hill, unsure of what she’ll really find.
Shockingly, Maeve’s daughter IS actually there! However, the kid’s got a new host mother that looks eerily enough like Maeve. The same story begins to pan out just like Maeve remembers as savages show up to kill them. Philip takes off from Sizemore and goes to help Maeve while Sizemore whips out a radio and signals for an extraction for himself. It seems Maeve’s daughter is safe for now, however, she has no idea who Maeve is or the significance their relationship has for her. Only time will tell if her daughter’s mind can also be freed.
Can We Stop Playing Around Now?

William continues to trek his way through the park, now accompanied by his daughter who can more than handle herself against the conscious hosts. The Man In Black tells her where the evac location is, assuming she’ll be on her way. To his surprise, she tells the old man she won’t be leaving without him, and it’s time to stop playing around if he wants to get where he’s really trying to go.
As night falls, William and his daughter have a real talk beside the fire. When all hell broke loose she wound up in the one part of the park she was trying to avoid. William asks her why she bothered to come if she hates him and the family business so much, asking if she had a change of heart. She said she came because she shouldn’t have said her mother’s death was his fault, and that shouldn’t be the last they speak, especially if he has some death wish to get murdered by hosts in an uprising. She asks him to leave with her… an emotional William says they’ll start walking at sun-up, together. When morning comes, the Man In Black is gone. He’s part of a maze of his own making at this point.
Teddy and Dolorous are riding the train that will no doubt lead to more trouble than good. Bernard is going through his old memories like an iPod shuffle only to be met by none other than Dr. Ford. Needless to say, next week looks GOOD.
