“All the gin mills in town” and they walked into this one.
Bernard tells him the world outside is in trouble and needs their help.
Time moves differently in here.

Bernard can explore many possible paths to change things before he returns.
Akecheta asks if he sees where this is all going, “how it ends.”
Bernard says he does.

In every scenario he dies.
“Not every scenario.
You could choose not to return to their world.
you’re free to stay here.
Which will it be?”
But we know which path Bernard will choose.
As Akecheta points out, Bernard has an irrational love for humanity.
He is greeted by Stubbs (Luke Hemsworth) who has been looking after him for years.
He tells Stubbs to meet him outside and to bring the shovel.
He needs to test a few things.
They stop at The Road’s End Diner.
If he can trigger a certain series of events, they have a small chance of making it.
“So if I’d ordered a BLT we’d be fked right now?,” Stubbs jokes.
He beats them and stuffs their bodies into the trunk of the car.
It’s broad daylight.
Does no one see this?
“Seems like lifetimes,” he replies.
She tells them to get in and suspicious of them and their shovel pulls her guns on them.
Which is very fair.
Bernard hands her a bag, where she finds the decapitated head of a host inside.
It belonged to one of the men she was supposed to meet.
“He’s one ofthem,” she says, clearly not a fan of hosts.
Bernard explains the meet was a set-up, an attempt to infiltrate her group.
He can help her organization if she takes him to “the condemned lands.”
She agrees to take them, but not without blindfolding them first.
Bernard tells them he knows where to find the weapon in the sand they are looking for out there.
Caleb doesn’t seem too thrilled about this plan.
They come upon The Butterfly Club, which is this park’s version of Maeve’s Mariposa Saloon.
Thandiwe Newton is so great in this sequence.
I could watch a whole episode of Maeve giving shady reviews of the new hosts' performances.
Maeve grabs a table and tells Caleb they need to wait for history to repeat itself.
Maeve declares Hector still knows how to make an entrance.
Caleb, noticing a sadness in her, asks if she used to know him.
She says no, he’s just a shabby imitation of a man she used to know.
RIP Sweetwater Hector (Rodrigo Santoro).
They were so good together.
Maeleb kill the doppelgangers, then sneak onto the undertaker’s truck, and infiltrate the underground hub.
But Maeve quickly realizes something is wrong with this level.
She realizes this entire level is the secret game Deborah mentioned earlier: “The Westworld Massacre.”
She must have some connection to the actual massacre.
There’s definitely more to Deborah than just enthusiastic park guest.
Caleb covers Maeve as they make their way to the elevator.
In a very charged ride down, he repairs Maeve’s shoulder.
“They seem to like you,” Maeve observes.
Host Carver searches the house for them and discovers Frankie in her bedroom closet.
Maeve tries to unlock their cells but can’t break the encryption.
The sound compels them to pick up a gun and shoot themselves in the head.
The next group of subjects standby, and a horrified Maeve recognizes…Frankie.
Caleb runs to find her while Maeve tries even harder to get the doors open.
She manages to get the cell open in time but realizes something is wrong.
He says he’s been looking forward to this.
God, I love Maeve.
Frankie tells her father he can’t leave.
“She wants you to stay.
All she needed was you.”
It’s a trap!
Uwade grabs Frankie and they run out into the night.
This is truly one of the most horrifying images this show has produced.
