Also, after being very sure Elsie was dead in last week's episode, I'm now rescinding my declaration.

It could be that Ford actually has Bernard play old recorded conversations between Arnold and his wife instead of just having an actress recreate them.
#WESTWORLD SEASON 1 EPISODE 9 FULL#
Almost every speculated piece of proof proved to be true, from "Bernard's" differing wardrobe that seemed to hint it was really Arnold having secret conversations with Dolores to "Bernard Lowe" being an anagram for Arnold's full name, "Arnold Weber." (Though the first time we learned Arnold's last name was in this episode, fans have been speculating it's "Weber" since early on in the show's run.)ĭolores sees Arnold's full name in "The Well-Tempered Clavier"(A couple asides: Bernard's traumatic cornerstone is an homage to Arnold's sad past, implying that the versions of Charlie and Bernard's wife who we see are modeled after Arnold's family. Maybe that's why the Bernard reveal felt dragged a bit as it was pulled taut across the entirety of the episode it became evident that the show was heading toward the reveal the moment Bernard picked up the photograph of Ford and Arnold in his memory early on in the episode, but we didn't get the kicker of the full reveal and confirmation until the end. Westworld, like Game of Thrones and Lost, is a show that invites speculation and theorizing as it layers in its many mysteries, and people who take part in that speculating and theorizing then fall victim to "calling" a twist before it happens. Especially coming off of the reveal Bernard is a Host, this theory became so popular that many (like myself, at a certain point) felt it was only a matter of time before the truth was revealed on the show.
