He shoots at Caleb right before Maeve rams her sword through his back. Shortly after, his daughter is confronted by one of the bandit hosts from Season 1.

As his wife tells him: “I’m beginning to think it’s not that you fear war. Speaking of Caleb, he has a beautiful wife and child now, but he still seems lost. So far, Maeve has never been able to create hosts rather, that’s Halore’s thing these days. For now, I’m presuming he’s still human and that Maeve saved his life. While Maeve is remembering her past, we learn that she and Caleb destroyed Solomon – the precursor to Rehoboam – and that Caleb nearly died. Give me Thandie Newton with a samurai sword any day! My guess is that Maeve’s power poses a threat to Halores and William (though I suspect Halores is the one behind it all).

But, back to our favorite super-powered android host. These scenes also appear to be taking place along the same timeline as William’s prologue because Maeve says she’d been living off the grid for 7 years.Īs an aside, these scenes also reveal that robots – at least the droid-looking ones – are gone in the aftermath of the rebellion against Rehoboam last season. For some reason, William is hunting both Maeve and Caleb using hosts from the small army Halores was printing at the end of Season 3. I suspect this duo is going to make for a very fun show. Also, it’s telling that the Westworld logo this season appears over what looks like the eye of a host fly. This gives her a terrifying new weapon that is nothing like anything seen to date on the show. Somehow, I believe, Halores is using these to literally get inside people’s heads and control their minds. And as soon as the opening credits roll, we see the 3D printing machines constructing a host fly. I believe the flies had something to do with it. He then proceeds to murder his cartel comrades and gives the title to the dam to William before slitting his own throat. When the cartel member returns home, his house is filled with thousands of flies. When the cartel refuses to sell, William tells him he’ll sell it to him today, or give it to him tomorrow for nothing. Since I presume Host William is working for Halores, obtaining the data is undoubtedly a huge piece of her future plans and the first of many auguries.Įven more, it appears Halores is using much smaller hosts to do her bidding. This was before Charlotte Hale had her host version of a psychotic break, so I imagine it was the original Delores who placed the data with the cartel. Halores stole this data from Delos in Season 3, and William wants it back. I believe this is the data Delos secretly collected from the guests at Westworld. And I know you were paid handsomely to store it.”

From one of my facilities eight years ago. “What I want is already in there,” William tells a member of the cartel. Host William wants to buy the Hoover Dam from the cartel that’s controlling it, and it’s revealed that the hydroelectric facility is powering a massive array of data servers. The first is whether this is really William? Based on the end of Season 3, the answer is “no” – this is the host version of William (aka “The Man in Black”) that the Charlotte Hale version of Delores (or “Halores”) used to kill the real William. The episode opens with a prologue starring William, which immediately raises a “host” of questions (pun intended :).

That said, here are 3 big questions after watching Episode 1. I think it’s safe to say the episode lived up to its title. The episode’s name is “The Auguries,” which means omens or signs of something that will happen in the future. Season 4 appears to begin seven years after the events in Season 3– although with Westworld, you never know if all the scenes are taking place in the same time frame. Note, *Spoilers* abound from this point on. The opening of this one was a bit more subdued than the opening of other seasons, but it’s clear the writers are setting up another puzzle-like plot. After a two-year wait, we finally have Season 4 of Westworld.
