"Trompe L'Oeil" Trivia Quiz

Answer: She's begun a leave of absence

Bernard dreams about his son, in his hospital bed. As he reads Charlie a passage from "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland", the boy begins to fade. Bernard wakes up in bed; it was all a horrible dream. That day, Bernard performs tests with the host of Hector Escaton who, during his narrative, had blacklisted conversations with the guests.

After showing Hector images of modern cities, Bernard gets the sense that Hector is still functioning as normal. Later, Bernard asks a colleague about Elsie; apparently, she just started a leave of absence. A train continues to take Lawrence, William, and Dolores across the desert. Lawrence makes a comment about Logan. Oddly, William made it further than his friend ever did despite a certain lack of interest in adventure. That's when Dolores looks out the window.

The local natives seem to be in the area, and there's reasons the train will need to be protected.

Answer: The coding

Bernard can't seem to get a hold of Elsie in any way and, when trying to locate her via his device, it can't seem to track her down in the park. He heads out to speak to Theresa and she makes her anger apparent over the investigation into her team's work, but Bernard assures her it's over. Theresa heads to Charlotte's room to find that she's spending her time sleeping with Hector.

She lets Theresa in for a quick meeting specifically about the woodcutter incident and Ford's recent narrative project taking up half the park's resources. Charlotte explains herself simply-- the board is only interested in the hosts' coding, and not the park itself.

She wants Theresa to convince Ford to retire, but they need to secure the code. But before that, they need to perform a 'blood sacrifice'.

Answer: It's cold

Maeve awakens and head to the Mariposa, passing by the same events she does every morning. She heads into the saloon and closes the lid of the player piano upon arriving. Clementine finds her at the bar when she heads downstairs and yawns before Maeve asks her what her nightmares are about. Clementine goes on about her family and how, maybe, after a couple of years, they can all move out of the desert and live somewhere cold. That's when everyone in the bar stops moving except for Maeve. The lab techs head into the saloon to claim a host who's done something wrong, and while Maeve believes they're there for her, they actually leave with Clementine instead.

Answer: Juliet

William and Dolores continue to ride along the tracks and he asks her what makes her believe the place she's looking for exists; she just says she can't turn back. She asks him the same-- what is he looking for?-- and he says that the only thing he had when he was a kid was books. Being in Westworld makes him believe he's in one of those stories and he wants to know what it means. William reveals to Dolores that he has a fiancee back home, and he will help her find what she's looking for but he has a life back home that he must get back to. Dolores runs off to cry, but he follows and explains that he doesn't need to pretend when he's in Westworld and he doesn't want to go back.

The two of them embrace.

Answer: Bernard

Ford meets Charlotte, Theresa, and several advisers in the labs to discuss the reveries in fuller detail. In the code review, they found Clementine. She was set back to a previous build and, in front of the board, is forced to face an attacker in an adjacent room.

They go through this until Theresa freezes the situation, rolls her back, wipes her memory, and starts again. This time, she fights back, attacking the man who fought her and killing him. Ashely has to enter the room and, after failing to stop her motor function, shoots her to put her down.

Theresa explains that the malfunction is due to an overabundance of code overriding decision making capabilities allowing the hosts to, as it would seem, hold grudges. Charlotte explains that the hosts will need to be rebuilt from the ground up.

She fires Bernard on the spot.

Answer: The Confederatos

William and Dolores awaken the next morning as the train keeps rolling. William regrets nothing; being in Westworld has made him feel better, almost as though something has been unlocked deep down within him. Dolores continues her drawing; she uses charcoal to sketch out a landscape where the desert meets the sea.

As they discuss their dreams, the train screeches to a stop. There are boulders on the track; the Confederatos have set up an ambush. Their gatling gun begins to pepper across the length of the train.

When it finishes, a horse is sent out with someone on top being a white flag. What the Confederatos don't know is that the rider, Slim, is filled with nitroglycerin. A single well-placed shot is all the distraction that's necessary.

Answer: The river

William, Dolores, Lawrence, and others race out on horses as the Confederatos give chase. Dolores falls off her horse and William goes back for her. The gatling gun rattles off in the distance, but soon a slew of arrows rips through the Confederatos, giving the others the chance to escape up the canyon and along the river. Only Dolores, William, and Lawrence survive the escape...to find the image Dolores depicted in the train-- a place she'd never seen in real life before. Dolores and William decide to continue on alone to the unclaimed territories across the river while Lawrence heads his own way to work against the war effort.

He warns them though-- no one comes back from the unclaimed territories.

Answer: True

In the lab, Maeve awakens on the operating table and signals for Felix to speak to her alone. She asks about Clementine and insists that they find her. When they discover she's elsewhere in the lab, she makes sure that he takes her to her friend immediately. Clementine is with Sylvester and Theresa getting her operation; she's to be one of the first hosts to receive her effective lobotomy. While Felix and Maeve leave, Bernard speaks to Theresa.

He explains that their interference with Clementine's code was sloppy at best, and he knows that she was running the satellite uplink to send out the information.

He tells her that no one knows how the hosts work because Arnold wrote half of the code forty years ago. There's something wrong with them, and with all of the repetition and variation, there's only inevitable change.

He needs to show her something.

Answer: Bernard

Felix and Sylvester try to talk to Maeve about what happened in the lab, but it's hard to convey they they had to retire Clementine. She says that she's going to be a survivor and that it's time for her to get out of Westworld. Felix and Sylvester will help her. If they don't, she'll kill them. Bernard and Theresa head topside into the park, arriving on the surface at night and heading to the house in the woods containing Ford's first-generation family. Bernard explains that the house isn't on any plans of the park since surveying is done by hosts, and they'd be programmed to ignore the building.

Theresa asks him what's behind a door; he never noticed it before she mentioned it. Inside they find a remote diagnostics facility, and there, on a table, Theresa finds the blueprints for a host of Bernard.

Answer: Theresa

When Bernard can't explain what he sees on the blueprints, Ford emerges from the staircase and says that he granted his creations the bliss of ignorance when faced with things that would hurt them. Theresa calls Ford a monster, but Ford responds that she would kill them all if given the choice. Bernard has a moment of fear before Ford calms him down. Ford insists that the hosts are free in Westworld since they're free of guilt and self-loathing, and that it's safer with them under his control and guidance than anywhere else.

Theresa says Bernard could not be under his control since he brought her to the house, but Ford suggests that it was his idea. The board, he says, is not going to do anything. In fact, to remedy the situation, he suggests, there will need to be a 'blood sacrifice'.

Theresa tries to use her phone to contact help, but there's no connection. Ford, informing Bernard that their guest has grown weary, has him take care of her. After Bernard puts an end to Theresa, they depart; they have new storylines to work on.
