The plot thickens as HBO’s Westworld reveals one of its biggest plot twists yet.
This week’s Westworld proved that the show doesn’t need a complicated, non-linear timeline to pull off some mind-blowing reveals. In Mother Of Exiles, we caught up with William, AKA the Man In Black for the first time in Season 3–and learned some extremely uncomfortable truths regarding the host “pearls” Dolores stole from the parks back in Season 2.
We last left William in sorry shape after he tried to break into The Forge during the host uprising. We knew he survived–sans a few fingers–but his mental state was obviously deteriorating. Season 2’s post-credits stinger implied that William may even be a host–or, perhaps more accurately, destined to become a host at some point in the distant future. We may not be any closer to getting those mysteries answered just yet, but we did get a chance to see how he’s handling things in the here-and-now. Unsurprisingly, it’s not exactly great–and that’s something Dolores plans on taking full advantage of.
Meanwhile, the truth of Dolores’s stolen pearls turned out to be an absolute doozy, proving a whole slew of our theories from last week’s episode completely wrong.
Needless to say, we’re getting into full-on spoiler territory from here on out, so please proceed with caution. And, as always, share some of your theories in the comments below!
