Westworld Episode 6's WTF?! Moments

Maeve wises up and realizes that whenever she "dies," she winds up in Felix's lab. So she encourages a violent brothel client to give in to his baser instincts...

... and demands answers when she comes to at Westworld home base. Felix reluctantly tells her everything and takes her upstairs to see the development rooms and park entrance.

That's where she sees a welcome video featuring footage of her and the little girl from her visions. "How did you have my dreams?" she asks Felix. "That was you in a previous build," he answers.

And now that she knows what's up, Maeve wants Felix and Sylvester to change her core programming so she's smarter, less loyal and feels less pain. Got any problems with that, Sylvester? We thought not.

But — twist! — someone's already been changing Maeve from the inside out! Who could it be?

Elsie is a treasure trove of info this episode: She tells Bernard that the uplink is an inside job, it's connected to a DELOS satellite, it's broadcasting to the older model robots using a system no longer in official use... and that Theresa is involved "but she's not our only problem. There's something much bigger going on here." Long story short: It looks like Arnold (?!) is issuing directives to the hosts. Too bad before she can get back to headquarters after a fact-finding mission in the park, she's grabbed from behind by an unseen assailant.

While on a walk in the park, Ford decides to spare the town where we met Lawrence: He decides that the new building will stop just before it reaches the square. Then he notices a maze carved into a table where hosts are playing dominos.

Back in his office, Ford moves the church on his mock-up board. Given the churches we've seen in Dolores' memories and other places, THIS IS SIGNIFICANT, RIGHT? 

When Bernard learns there are five unaccounted-for hosts in a remote sector of the park, he visits them... and finds that Ford has created a replica of his family.

And yes, that boy we've seen before is the android version of Ford as a child. He's an older model host, and this is how his face breaks apart on command. Speaking of commands? The Ford family only respond to verbal commands from Ford.

But let's back up a second: When Bernard first steps into the Ford family cabin, he sees the host made to look like Ford's dad and says, "Arnold?" That's likely because...

... this is the man that Ford leads Bernard to believe is Arnold back in Episode 3. Innnnnnteresting, no? 

Later, Ford finds the robot version of his beloved childhood dog dead.

And little Ford lies to him about it, then confesses the lie: He killed the pooch after it caught and murdered a rabbit (sound familiar?) because a voice told him to "put it out of its misery." To whom did the voice belong, Ford wonders? "Arnold," the boy says.

Ford consults some journals, which include detailed drawings of Dolores and this symbol...

... which also shows up in the brand a Union soldier threatens to brand Teddy with after he and The Man in Black infiltrate the camp in an attempt to get to Pariah. Earlier, Teddy relates the "old native myth" of the maze: "The maze itself is the sum of a man's life: the choices he makes, the dreams he hangs onto. And there at the center there's a legendary man who'd 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. Built a house, and around that house he built a maze so complicated only he could navigate through it. I reckon he'd seen enough fighting."

Also? Teddy guns down an entire encampment of innocent soldiers and may have been one of Wyatt's accomplices. You think you know a guy!

The staff apparently has access to a swank pool/bar situation.

And that's where a tipsy Lee, still sulking about his crushed narratives, meets a comely newcomer. 

And after he gets even drunker and pees on the big Westworld map, Theresa takes no small amount of pleasure in introducing Lee to Charlote Hale, executive director of DELOS' board. Oops.
