Far from answering any questions, every upcoming episode of "Westworld" just continue to baffle its audiences with more puzzling questions that, alike the awakening hosts, leave them struggling to find what exactly is going on. "Westworld" Episode 6, however, hinted pieces of details regarding The Maze and Ford's character.
What's At The Center Of The Maze?
With "Westworld" Episode 6, however, Teddy indulged the audiences with the legend of The Maze. Eyeing the image of The Maze that the Man in Black is so interested in, Teddy recounted an old myth surrounding it.
"The maze itself is the sum of a man's life -choices he makes, dreams he hangs on to. And there at the center, there's a legendary man who had been killed over and over again countless times but always clawed his way back to life. The man returned for the last time and vanquished all his oppressors in a tireless fury. He built a house. Around that house, he built a maze so complicated, only he could navigate through it," as the narrative of Ted in "Westworld" Episode 7 goes.
"You Thought You Know The Man"
Does this same narrative correspond with the narrative built for Teddy himself? At some parts, at least. For viewers of "Westworld," it is a known fact that Teddy died in thousands of death narratives built by the ones controlling the "Westworld." Likewise, Episode 7 showed Teddy in a tireless fury as he mercilessly killed all the soldiers using a machine gun.
Albeit, hinting some clues about The Maze, Westworld Episode 7 left the audiences mouthing, as the Man in Black did, "You thought you know the man."
Ford Is Keeping Some Ghosts; Could Arnold Be One Of Them?
Fans could also say the same for Ford. Whereas in the previous episodes of "Westworld," Ford's character was painted with dark clouds, Episode 7, however, revealed his "ghosts." As per Telegraph, the way he clung to a memory of the past was met with melancholy from the viewers.
Furthermore, "Westworld" Episode 7 hinted the possibility that Arnold is still alive considering the anomalies occurring with the first-generation hosts. Aside from a voice talking to them inside their heads, the Hosts could now lie too as Dolores outrightly did in "Westworld" Episode 5 and also like the little boy Robert exhibited when he killed his dog.
Maeve's Journey To Self-Awareness
Whereas Dolores did not grace the screen in "Westworld" Episode 7, a major development and enlightenment have been experienced by Maeve. Taking the two scientists on the palm of her hand, she was able to discover the truth about "Westworld." The episode wrapped up in a major cliffhanger as the audiences are left anticipating what Maeve might be up to in Westworld Episode 8 after her bulk apperception, or her overall intelligence, was upgraded at the topmost.
Elsie's Adversary And What's Next For Episode 7?
Overtaken by her curiosity, Elsie exerted her utmost effort to track down who could possibly be smuggling data outside of "Westworld." Upon discovering the transmitter, she learned that Theresa is behind these anomalies but she is not working alone. Before coming into a further discovery, however, an unknown person grabbed her.
Audiences are left hanging for another week about what is next in "Westworld" Episode 7. Titled, "Trompe L'Oeil," which means optical illusion, as per Game Spot, the next episode of "Westworld" will show Theresa further plotting to expose Ford; Maeve delivering an ultimatum; Dolores and William's treacherous journey; and Ford's scheming to take control over the Hosts.
"Westworld" Episode 7 airs this Sunday, November 13 at 9pm on HBO. Stay tuned for more exciting updates!
