"The Stray" Trivia Quiz

Answer: Alice's Adventures in Wonderland

Bernard meets with Dolores in another backstage room of Westworld, asking her if she's been met for a diagnostic service since their last weekend. She confirms she has not discussed their earlier conversations. He hands her a gift-- a copy of 'Alice's Adventures in Wonderland'-- and they discuss change.

Dolores wakes up in bed the next morning while her father, already up and about, tends to the livestock. In her room, Dolores checks on the firearm kept hidden in her dresser drawer. She remembers the night the man in black arrived at her homestead and dragged her to the barn.

Answer: Clementine

William takes a walk through the streets of Sweetwater on his own and, passing in front of the sheriff's office, ends up on the edge of a shootout with a local outlaw. Although William is hesitant to jump in, he thinks it a good idea to draw his weapon when Clementine is taken hostage.

After shots are fired, he ends up being the victor, saving the local prostitute's life. She offers her services in gratitude and he continues his refusal. He ends up getting an invitation to join a hunt for desperadoes that night. Logan is thrilled for him, and encourages him to join in his hedonistic trip through the park, but a wanted poster for another outlaw catches William's eye instead.

It's time for an adventure.

Answer: Six

Bernard and Theresa cross paths in the control rooms of Westworld and she relays the concerns of the park's board of directors. While he claims that the issues in the park have been fixed, hosts are still being pulled for observation. Meanwhile, Ford's new narrative is causing a fair bit of disarray across the park.

In the labs, Bernard finds Elsie still going over old narrative logs. The issue with Walter in Sweetwater has gotten more interesting. During his aberrant behaviour, he ended up having a dialogue with no one before killing six hosts in the bar. All six, according to Elsie, were part of past narratives in which they killed Walter.

That's when they receive an alert. There's a stray host in the park. Elsie catches Ashley on the way up to the surface; the two of them need to go after the rogue host.

Answer: Someday

In Sweetwater, Teddy takes a newcomer around and spies a group of outlaws leaving a building, shooting them and neutralizing the threat before cuffing their corpses to the front posts of the local saloon until they can be dealt with. Teddy heads inside and bribes Maeve into letting them keep the bodies outside, but when she gazes into his eyes she has a disturbing memory in which she saw his body, and the bodies of several hosts, getting reset in the labs behind the scenes.

When Teddy's newcomer heads up to the bedrooms with Clementine, he instead spies Dolores outside the window and meets her outside at her horse, inevitably heading out to her ranch with her. He says he'd like to stay there with her but, uncharacteristically, she says that she doesn't really want to stay. She seems to want to go somewhere else...somewhere that for calls her. Teddy vows to take her someday. Dolores says that 'someday' usually means 'never'. She wants to go now.

Answer: Wyatt

Teddy takes Dolores back to the ranch and they find that her father has, uncharacteristically, left the livestock out. That's when they hear gunshots. Teddy rushes up and, along with her mother and father, he's killed.

Ford speaks to Teddy in the labs when he's being reset. According to Ford, Teddy's a man who's died over a thousand times, all in a narrative to keep Dolores around. People are meant to find him to find Dolores and, possibly, have their way with her. Teddy claims he has dreams of reckoning for his mysterious past, but he does want to give Dolores the life she deserves. According to Ford, Teddy has no actual past, but just a formless guilt. So it's about time he uploads a narrative. That's how Teddy learns about Wyatt, a man who killed because he claimed to hear the voice of God.

The next day, Dolores ends up back in Sweetwater to purchase some essentials when she's accosted by some newcomers. Teddy fends them off when the newcomers feel as though they should go for something a bit easier. That day, Teddy takes her out into the desert and teaches her how to fire a gun, but she finds she can't pull the trigger.

That's when the Sheriff and a few newcomers come along. There's been sign of Wyatt in a town nearby. He promises he'll come back...someday soon.

Answer: Woodcutter

Ashley and Elsie end up at a camp of hosts outside of town; they were planned to head to a cattle drive two days earlier but got stuck in a loop when their woodcutter went rogue, running stray out to the desert. Checking the woodcutter's tent, they find a pile of carvings and Elsie notices that several feature the same symbol, almost like a constellation, and she pockets one before they depart.

Teddy leads the sheriff and convoy out toward where Wyatt was last seen and recounts his tale of his twisted, ol' army sergeant. One day he went out into the desert and came back a changed man. It led to a killing spree in the town of Escalante. After this story, he and his men come across a tree strung up with bodies. That's when the shots start firing, and as soon as they do, Teddy realizes that Wyatt has been recruiting. Several of their lawmen are sniped down while some of the newcomers start to regret not taking the riverboat ride instead. Teddy and the Sheriff vow to stay and fight, however, along with one of their band of non-hosts.

Answer: Orion

Ashley and Elsie continue to follow the vectors plotted out on Ashley's equipment to track their stray, but Elsie seems completely distracted by the markings made on the item she snagged from the encampment. Ashely almost immediately recognizes the markings as a constellation, specifically Orion.

In the labs, Bernard finds Ford working with some of the hosts and sussing out a scientist for treating one of the creations as a feeling creature. They head to his office to speak about the likely deep-rooted issues with the hosts in the park and Bernard fears that they're treating the symptoms, not the disease. Both Abernathy and Walter were talking to the same person: Arnold.

Answer: True

Ford is a bit taken aback by the name Arnold and he tells Bernard that in the three years it took to create and open Westworld, he did so with a business partner named Arnold at his side, though in later years he was scrubbed from the records. Arnold never wanted to create the appearance of intellect; he wanted consciousness. He believed that the host could build its mind based on a pyramid of hierarchy from 'The Bicameral Mind', though this would imply the top of the pyramid would involve man's thoughts being the voice of the gods. Arnold believed consciousness would take over if they input the host monologues, but what they could never have was that very thing, and those who were pushed over the edge seemed as though they were lunatics, so the idea was scrapped almost altogether. Arnold later died in the park. Many called it an accident, but Ford thought otherwise.

As Bernard leaves, Ford insists that their most recent update will fix the issues they've been having. Ford urges him not to search for host consciousness, especially considering the death of his son, Charlie.

Answer: No

Sun sets in the desert, and Ashley and Elsie continue to walk through the rough terrain, vectoring a route and wondering about Orion. Elsie heads off to relieve herself and hears some noises and, when she looks over a ridge she finds her stray trapped in a pit, his fingers bloody from trying to climb out. Elsie ends up calling Bernard about her concerns, but Bernard is out at the labs, speaking to Dolores because he needs her help. He needs to decide what to do with her. He thinks he needs to restore her to the way she was before, but she believes that when she finds out who she is, she'll be free. He decides that he wishes to see where her evolution leads. They decide she will stay on her loop, and she departs.

Teddy and his team, with a single covered light between them, continue to hunt for Wyatt and come face to face with his frightening band of cultists. The Sheriff is killed quickly, dropping their lantern, while Teddy sends his frightened newcomer off with a weapon to protect herself as she flees back to Sweetwater. As he's surrounded on all sides, he fires at all of them...but the bullets don't seem to work.

Answer: Fire a gun

Dolores emerges in Sweetwater to discover that Wyatt has ambushed Teddy and his men, possibly killing them all. She returns to her ranch on horseback and realizes that the livestock are out; her father would never let them roam that close to dark. That's when she hears the gunshot, and races up to the house to find her mother and father dead. The outlaws grab her, but Teddy isn't around to save her. This time, it's the men from town who tried to nab her earlier in the day who are responsible. Dolores looks at her father and, in her mind, she remembers the face of her old host father, Abernathy, as she's pulled away to the barn. Her captor doesn't realize as she takes his gun from its holster, but she can't seem to fire it...at least until she sees the Man in Black in front of her. She kills the man and heads back to the farmhouse to grab her horse and escape before she's shot.

Out in the desert, Elsie puts the woodcutter into sleep mode while Ashley rappels into the pit and retrieves him. Ashley, following protocol, begins to saw the host's head off, but it awakens and knocks him out, climbing the rope to chase after Elsie who, in her fright, trips and falls, leaving herself vulnerable. The host pics up a large rock and raises it over its head, but instead of dropping it down on Elsie, it smashes into its own skull, effectively killing itself.

Out in the woods, William and Logan sit around a campfire when they hear someone emerging from the woods. It's Dolores. She falls into William's arms and passes out.
