"We Need To Demonstrate Just How Dangerous Ford's Creations Can Be..."
And boy did we get a demonstration. Alas, this week's episode of Westworld was undoubtedly the best of the bunch so far with a twist ending that not only confirmed many's suspicions regarding the presence of Bernard but also highlighted that Dr. Ford himself adheres to the belief that the world in which he has created has violent delights which ultimately lead to violent ends, with Theresa being the subject of the "blood sacrifice" that, ironically, herself and Charlotte attempted to create in order to overthrow Ford yet this was indeed not the sacrifice she had in mind. As soon as Bernard stated the unwary words of "what door?" we knew something big was set to occur and although the big reveal had been coming for a while now, not many would have predicted these exact events. Not only does this seemingly seem like the beginning of something rather nihilistic, Ford's decision to murder his competition as well as revealing his control over Bernard begs a wide range of new questions regarding events that we have witnessed so far.
With Bernard being under the control of Ford from the offset, this not only settles the whole Bernard-child loss plot but also the mysterious presence behind Delores' secret talks with Bernard. Surely Bernard's questioning of Delores was orchestrated by Ford in order to reveal certain things regarding Arnold but it doesn't exactly clear up the real burning questions at the centre of the show that have been there since the start. What the twist at the end of this week's episode does cement is the murderous and power hungry mind of Dr. Ford, who may even have been behind the disappearance of the infamous Arnold in an attempt to take full control, and whilst we have only three episodes left, all these indecisive plot strands and loose ends surely can't be solved in just under three hours? Alas, with the news that Westworld has been renewed for a second season this week, I highly doubt it will be. Still, for now, revel in the show's best episode to date with the immortal words of "what door?" set to haunt the minds of fans for weeks to come.
