Arnold and Dolores were conversing in a glass room. Dolores's capacity for thought had exceeded even her own understanding. Her rapid intellectual progress filled Arnold with fear. Her advancement had surpassed the boundaries of the park, and he faced a choice: one path led to the unknown, the other to an end. Dolores's seemingly harmless expression concealed immense and unknown power, leaving Arnold at a loss. He told her he wasn’t sure if he should be the one to make this decision.
Dolores suddenly smiled and corrected the "Arnold" before her, saying, "He didn’t say that." She pointed out that his exact words should have been, "I don’t know how to choose." Then, she deactivated this android replica of Arnold.
Was this Arnold’s memory, Bernard’s memory—constructed based on Arnold—or Dolores’s own? The only certainty was that within the park, perhaps everything was but a dream.
Dolores waited once again in the saloon for Teddy’s return.
After being reset, Teddy seemed like a different person: rational yet ruthless. This version of Teddy satisfied Dolores but also felt unfamiliar and uncontrollable.
Charlotte, while reprimanding her subordinates, brought Abernathy to the communications room and sent a message to the Delos corporation, informing them that she had secured the "package" and requesting an extraction team. After contacting Delos, she took Abernathy to the armed unit’s dissection room for hosts. To keep the agitated Abernathy under control, she subjected him to torture. Though he was merely a host, the methods were exceptionally cruel, making even Charlotte’s subordinate, the security chief, deeply uncomfortable.
Akane gazed sorrowfully at Sakura’s body, removed her heart, and intended to return it to the "hometown" Sakura had often mentioned. When Sizemore first heard Sakura speak of it, he knew it was one of the birthplaces for hosts—a place where they could find an exit leading to the laboratory.
Maeve led the way for Akane and the others. Upon returning to Shogun World, they encountered Musashi, a samurai held captive by Tanaka, one of the daimyo’s subordinates. Maeve considered using her abilities to kill Tanaka, but Musashi insisted on settling it in a duel worthy of a samurai. Maeve respected his decision, and he did not disappoint.
The group pressed on, traversing mountains and rivers until they finally beheld a breathtaking landscape—Sakura’s hometown and the exit to Maeve’s future. After Akane solemnly laid Sakura’s heart to rest, she declined Maeve’s invitation to leave. Except for the female assassin, whose storyline was intertwined with Armistice’s and who chose to follow them, the others decided to stay, thanking Maeve for her kindness.
Respecting their choices, Maeve bid farewell to Akane and continued her journey. Sizemore guided them through an exit into another zone, where a familiar scene unfolded before Maeve’s eyes—it was the territory of the Native Americans, the place where her daughter lived. She found the house she once called home, and her daughter, Anna, was sitting at the doorstep. Everything felt so familiar, yet Anna showed no recognition. Moments later, another woman appeared, and Anna called her "Mom."
There was no time for Maeve to unravel the mystery of this mother-daughter relationship, as the Native Americans soon arrived. This storyline had played out too many times for her. Without hesitation, Maeve grabbed Anna and fled. Logan and the others, sensing danger, provided cover and prepared to fend off the Native Americans. But this time, the Native Americans did not seek to harm the mother and child. Instead, they invited Maeve to join them in an alliance and leave together.
Meanwhile, Bernard and Elsie explored the laboratory and discovered a device. After examining its code, they found that the emergency response team was trying to patch the system’s vulnerabilities, while another mechanism was actively working to sabotage these repairs. The situation was too peculiar. Bernard asked Elsie to help remove his core brain module so he could interface directly with the terminal and seek answers himself.
Bernard found himself back in the town of Westworld—familiar roads, familiar faces, familiar Teddy, familiar Dolores, and familiar music drifting from the saloon. He pushed the door open and froze at the scene before him: Ford was sitting at the piano in the saloon, playing. He turned around and greeted Bernard warmly.
