"Westworld" Season 4 Episode 4: A Sign That You Are Young

Since the start of the "Westworld" season, she has been flooding more and more moments from the past.

It happens this time too, but beyond the micro of these plot choices, for the first time in a long time the MDA drama reaches peaks we have already forgotten it can reach, ones that wrap between exciting revelations and intense emotion.

Trailer "Westworld" Season 4 (HBO)

Only a fourth episode in the fourth season of "Westworld", half way, and we are already getting a variety of answers that in previous seasons we would probably have been waiting for until the end of the season.

And the nice thing is that these answers come with emotional highs, the kind that make this episode one of the best in "Westworld" for a long time.

Probably since "Kixoya" from the second season.

Please note, spoilers for the fourth episode of the fourth season of "Westworld".

While there are stories we still have no idea what's going on in them, especially Christina's, but just one episode after Bernard and Stubbs made their debut this season, they met a foreign young woman who programmed "C" and went out with her to the desert to find the underground and find weapons buried there, we This time four critical details are revealed:

1. When does this plot take place (30 years after Bernard entered "Sublime" at the end of the previous season, 23 years after Hale William's exploits).

2. What are the weapons buried in the desert (Maeve,

Caleb died then, and for some reason Hale is still trying to bring him back to life by inserting his human consciousness into a host body, and recreating his last journey before his death.

4. The project of the enslavement of humanity conceived by Hale was successful.

In her words, "I won."

It may be worthwhile to sharpen Caleb's interest: we saw a lot of human duplication in the characters of hosts - from William, through the senator and his wife to a friend of Caleb's who was supposed to take care of his family.

But unlike Caleb, this is exactly what they are - duplicates.

The information of the humans has been uploaded to robots, but not the consciousness, which requires hundreds and possibly thousands of beauties in an attempt to gain "loyalty" - the process that Hale has been doing with Caleb for years.

We have seen such attempts in the past in the second season.

James Delos, William's father-in-law, tried to raise his consciousness to a host body with the help of William, but failed even after decades.

Each time the host body would reject the consciousness and he would go crazy and hurt himself.

We encountered another such attempt at the end of that season: In the distant future, William ended his journey in the park, the one in which, among other things, he killed his daughter, arrived at the "reactor", where the gate to the "sublime" / "valley beyond", got off the elevator and discovered that the place It's been a sword for a long time.

After wandering around the place he discovered his late daughter in the form of a hostess.

She revealed to him that she was trying to gain loyalty.

She moved William the same route over and over again in an attempt to make his consciousness settle in the host body, but to no avail.

This is exactly what is happening this time with Caleb.

Many years have passed since he came with Maeve to Temperance, the park that simulates Chicago from the turbulent 1920s.

It is interesting to understand why Hale even created a version of himself.

Is it because she's trying to capture his daughter?

Or maybe because he himself is an exception who manages to resist the parasite within him?

Although Hale explains that in general she had more difficulty controlling adults (what does that mean for their presence in this world, by the way? Did she murder them all?), But we saw that she still succeeded in all those who preceded him: the senator and his wife, the justice minister, the vice president, the friend Of Caleb who was supposed to take care of his family, etc.

Caleb is just as unusual as he was unusual in Sarak's eyes last season, and as such is probably dangerous to Hale and interesting to her as the subject of an experiment.

What's the story of Dolores - Arr, Christina - in the new season of "Westworld"?

Does she remember that Maeve saved her life?

The episode does not even try to obscure what many viewers have already guessed in the previous episode: "C" is actually Frankie.

Her plot and Caleb's plot are intertwined, always intersecting in meaningful moments.

When Caleb declares that his daughter will not grow up in a world ruled by Hale, we immediately move on to C who holds the maze illustration.

When Bernard tells Cess that she longs after all to find her father, we cut again to the confused Caleb.

The explicit discovery ultimately adds a lot of sadness to everything we saw.

Little Frankie trying to contact her father using the radio, not knowing he's long dead.

When Caleb left home in the first episode to protect his family, his wife told him, "You promised to be a father," adding, "You will cause yourself to be killed."

Caleb replied, "I will get back to you. I promise."

he is not.

Frankie herself saw Maeve as a child.

She was the woman who saved her life when the stranger aimed a gun at her and at her father.

Overall, it was an episode that was amazing to elaborate on.

The exposure of Maeve buried in the desert sand was also amazing in its effectiveness.

We did not have to wait long for her, or almost at all, and it's good that way.

We already know very well that dead robots do not really die.

Still, the moment it turned out that Maeve was the weapon that Bernard and C. had been looking for since their first meeting, was beautiful, exciting and powerful.

It all boiled down to him - her history with Caleb, with his daughter, with her daughter, the driving force and the reason she does it all.

Trying to be a knight.

Dictates the lives of those around her.

In other districts, too, emotions erupted, especially of course in the charming encounter between Christina and Teddy.

He picks up the lipstick for her like he used to pick up the can that she dropped, and says his old saying, "Ignore me, I'm just trying to be a knight."

The two then sit down to a meal during which it is apparent how connected they are.

If we needed another conviction that Christina is a version of Dolores, her date with the golden-hearted bounty hunter made it clear that there was history between them.

Teddy sells to Christina, and seems to definitely know who she is, even if she herself does not know.

And if so, a good chance he is the one trying to get her to wake up through the maze left on the porch of her house, as well as the very meeting with him.

The episode provided us with more revelations about Christina's world.

On her landscape painting she scribbled in black the image of the tower she saw in the mental institution where Peter was hospitalized.

When Maya wondered about it, Christina asked her a question whose wording also resonates to the early days of "Westworld": "Does that seem like something to you?".

Maya herself also provided important information about herself: she dreamed of the flies that took over her family and then her.

Unlike Christina, she is not a hostess but a human being, and she, like the rest of humanity, is enslaved by Hale through the sounds Maeve heard in the lab more than two decades ago, and is now produced on a much larger scale, presumably by the tower.

Accordingly, if it is indeed a park (reminder: in the first episode Dolores passed by three passers-by who were enthusiastic about this place, a conversation very similar to the one we heard from Westworld guests at the beginning of the series), the hosts are not robots as before but humans.

They are controlled by the sound from the tower, as the beggar described, and their lives are dictated by Christina and her colleagues in her work at the Olympics.

Apropos, one can assume that the beggar is also a human and not a host, someone who has fallen between the cracks, and like Caleb manages to resist an attempt to take control of his mind.

Unlike him he even manages to hear the "music", and unlike others around him he sees the tower.

It seems that the building where Christina works is exactly the one from which Caleb escaped at the end of the current episode, the one where Charlotte Hale herself sits, so there is a reasonable situation that it is not a park at all but the real world.

Hale won, she said, so the sophisticated machines and technologies were back - autonomous vehicles, hovercraft, smartphones and so on.

And Christina, as a host whose code can be configured, does not see what her programmer (probably Hale) does not want her to see.

Does not seem to me like anything.

"Westworld" Season 4 (Photo: Screenshot, HBO)

The fourth season of "Westworld" makes Charlotte Hale a reflection of Robert Ford (only with a million times worse acting).

At the flick of a finger it causes all humans to freeze in place, just as Ford did for the hosts when he demonstrated his power against Theresa in the first season.

They were both sitting on the porch of the restaurant at the time and he told her about the new narrative he was initiating, without revealing too much of course.

To do this, he dug in the desert sand using giant bulldozers - an image very similar to the one we saw on the outskirts of Hale's new park.

I wonder how long the parallel between them will last.

That Ford narrative is designed to help hosts stand up against humans.

It is doubtful whether Hale's actions are supposed to lead to the opposite situation - the liberation of humans from the yoke of robots.

There are still quite a few questions left about what is happening.

Obviously, otherwise this would not have been "Westworld".

Perhaps the greatest of them all: How is Teddy there?

After all, he's supposed to be in "The Sublime," there's not supposed to be a copy of him anywhere else, and we know that "The Sublime" didn't open because Bernard but it came out of him alone.

Is it another game in time, and in fact Christina's plot nonetheless takes place in an even more distant future?

Since everyone in Christina's world is young, meaning they were controllable children and have now grown up, it is reasonable to assume that her plot line takes place in the time of Bernard, Frankie and Caleb's current incarnation.
