"Chestnut" Trivia Quiz

Answer: In the center of the park

Dolores wakes up in the middle of the night to someone telling her to remember. She walks outside and tries to recall something.

Two travellers ride a high-speed train and arrive at an immaculate station platform. One of the guests is Logan; he's excited to dive in. The other is William; he's apprehensive. When they're led away separately, William is asked several questions pertaining to his mental and physical health. How far you want to go with your adventure, the guide says, is up to him. There's no orientation; figuring out how the park works, based on your own choices, is part of the fun.

When William is outfitted, he asks his guide if she's real. She says that if he can't tell, then there's likely no difference. He asks where he should change and she says it's up to him, slowly undoing the buttons on his shirt. She leaves shortly after, but says that all of Westworld's hosts, herself included, are there to serve.

Answer: White

Bernard and his colleague, Elsie, pore over the videos surveilling Mr. Abernathy since they originally thought that the found photograph was what sparked his breakdown. That said, something deeper must've happened, since he sat, ruminating over the image, for hours, well into the night. Elsie says that she would like to pull Dolores as well, since the episode could be contagious, so to speak, especially since she can't reprogram Abernathy to place back into Westworld. Dolores, however, was cleared.

Dolores arrives in town the next day, and somehow remembers a bloodbath in the streets. She's snapped out of her daydream by the saloon's madam, and when asked to move along, she states the quote she was told by her father: "these violent delights have violent ends."

William emerges from his changing room and chooses the final touch to his costume; he goes with a white hat, instead of black, and enters a door, emerging in a saloon. Well... a saloon car. Logan comes up behind him with a black hat and they embark on the train. They're in for a wild time, and Logan is eager to see the type of person William really is.

Answer: In a noose

Out in the desert, the sheriff and his men sentence a bandit, Lawrence, to death by hanging, but are stopped at the last minute when the mysterious man in black approaches on his horse. After a failed negotiation, the sheriff and all of his men are killed. The man in black tosses his new companion the scalp with a cryptic image on the inside, loops the ropes tying Lawrence to the back of his horse, and they head onward to look for the deepest level of Westworld.

Maeve, the madam of the saloon, muses about the voices in her head, telling her what to do, but claims that when she left the old world and step foot on solid ground again, she was convinced to do whatever she wanted to. Of course, she had to come in for repairs; after speaking to a man in the saloon, she recalled a horrific, bloody battle. Their real issue with her, however, is that no one wants to sleep with her. They up her aggression by 20%. If they won't sleep with her, they'll have to decommission her, especially with the new narrative on the way, and the need to cull any dead weight.

Answer: Sweetwater

Dr. Ford and Bernard talk about the hosts they've needed to decommission. The photograph, they think, was a tool used as an act of sabotage. They work in a difficult business, kind of like witchcraft, but they have to deal with this hard stuff.

William and Logan arrive in the middle of Sweetwater as their narrative begins. William is already taken aback by the grand scale of everything, and Logan has to stop his friend several times. All of the hosts in town have some grand quest to embark on, but they're not going anywhere. They can grab a drink before they head out, he says.

Dolores packs her groceries in her horse's saddleback and spies her reflection in a shop window, immediately remembering a conversation she had with Bernard in a solitary room. He makes it clear that she should not be discussing their little talks with anyone else.

Answer: Clementine

Maeve, now more aggressive, pursues clientele with more gusto than before, but she still ends up coming up too short. After a brief chat with Clementine, her colleague, she has another flashback, causing a tremor in her hand that Teddy notices from down the bar. She keeps him back, but the programmers back in the lab notice that she has issues. Considering she was already on probation, they decide to leave her on the floor for the night, transfer her program duties to Clementine, and decommission her in the morning.

Bernard has a talk with Theresa, the operations manager, after she's spoken to corporate about the issues at hand. They both agree that things need to go smoothly for the upcoming narrative changes.

At dinner, William and Logan both show their different approaches to dealing with the goings-on in Westworld. William is more than willing to listen to the hosts as they offer up adventure; Logan stabs a quest-giver in the hand with a fork, and then does things his own way.

Answer: Maze

While Logan spends a hedonistic night with two women and a man from the saloon, William heads to his bedroom with Clementine who, though she now has Maeve's aggression and job, can't seem to pull him out of his own mind. He claims to have someone back home and she backs off. "Real love," she says, "is always worth waiting for."

In the labs, Lee checks in on the new hosts being created for his upcoming narrative and complains about the appearances of his indian horde. He's asked to scale back his story a bit since his request for fifty new hosts is being culled to twenty.

Dr. Bell takes an elevator out into the desert and is found by a young boy on holiday. The two decide to walk together.

The man in black continues to drag Lawrence along, blindfolded, and insists upon the fact that they're friends. When the blindfold comes off, Lawrence finds himself in his home village. His family spies him and rushes over as the man in black admits out loud that he likes Westworld. To him, the real world is too chaotic. In Westworld, every detail adds up to something. What he wants is to find the entrance to the maze.

Answer: Lawrence's daughter

The discussion between the man in black and Lawrence comes to a head when a bartender brings out their drinks and the former understands that back-up was called in to slow his efforts down. Nonetheless, from the labs, Ashley, the head of security, recognizes that the man paid for his experience and they have no reason to let up.

The man in black shoots the bartender, killing him, and turns to face the other men, attacking with his blade before firing at the others, one-by-one. When he finishes them all off, he returns to the table, loads his gun with two bullets, and continues by killing Lawrence's wife. Before he can kill his daughter though, she turns to him and says that the maze wasn't made for him, but if he wants to pursue it, be must follow the blood arroyo to the place where the snake lays its eggs. Now that he knows, he tells Lawrence, he's never going back.

He saddles up, ties Lawrence up again, and they carry on.

Answer: Yes

Dr. Ford and the boy stand atop a hill and hear church bells in the distance. A rattlesnake on the ground seemed poised to attack, but Dr. Ford seems to control it with his movements. The boy is thrilled, but when Dr. Ford spies a structure next to the hill, he tells the child that he won't come back along that way ever again. The boy, dropping his walking stick, placidly agrees and stalks away, empty-faced.

In the labs, Bernard heads to his apartment and is met with a knock on the door soon after. It's Theresa. She apologizes for her comments earlier and lets herself in before the two embrace.

Elsie heads into the lab to look into Maeve. Although she's set for recall, Elsie instead bumps her perception and emotional acuity up 50%. Her colleague asks if hosts can dream, and Elsie says no-- they can't-- but they know of dreaming. When hosts are wiped incorrectly, their programming categorizes any sloppy work done as 'nightmares', so that the hosts can categorize their hastily-cut memories. Elsie orders Maeve a full physical and sends her back to the saloon.

Answer: A daughter

Maeve's reprogramming works. Her mental acuity and perception allow her to be aggressive in more subtle ways, successfully convincing Newcomers to go to bed with her ladies. Teddy, watching from the bar, says that she's a very convincing person. She tells him the truth and they toast to their indiscretions before Teddy is shot several times by a patron simply getting his kicks while on vacation.

That night, Maeve continues to have troubling nightmares, even during her daydreams, in which she feels physical pain and recalls a beautiful daughter, a pleasant homestead, and an attack by a horde of indians. In the nightmare, she runs and finds her daughter. They run back to their house and grab the shotgun on the wall, but it's the man in black who enters the front door, knife in hand. She counts down in her dream and opens her eyes, but she's not in her bed. She's on a surgical table in a lab.

Answer: Odyssey on Red River

Maeve awakens on her surgical table, shocking her technicians who, apparently, forgot to put her in sleep mode. Despite being cut open, she lifts herself off the table and grabs a scalpel as they try to reason with her. She backs out the glass door of the lab and wanders around the hallways to find a series of escalators. Instead she finds her way outside, high above the mesa, and makes her way back in through another set of doors, emerging in a room where all of the murdered hosts are washed down for the next day. Her technicians sedate her and bring her back to the lab before anyone notices.

Dolores awakens at night and heads outside, listening to voices. She crouches down and digs in the dirt to find a revolver waiting for her.

In the labs, Lee exhibits his new narrative, including a new line of hosts for complete immersion, called Odyssey on Red River, which will bring guests to the furthest reaches of Westworld. Dr. Ford tells Lee "no". He says that the story isn't what the guests come back for; the production behind it is too garish. What the guests come back for, he claims, are the subtleties. They discover something they imagine no one had ever noticed before. The only thing the story tells is who Lee is.

In Sweetwater, Dolores packs her groceries into her horse's saddlebag. William picks up an item she drops and he tips his hat to her.

Dr. Ford and Bernard head out into the desert to see what Ford has been working on for some time. Something original. He brings him to the religious structure next to the hill.
