Westworld Season 2 ENDING EXPLAINED (Post-Credit Scene & Bernard Timelines)

Hi, I'm Erik Bosse and

season

2 of HBO's Westworld has ended, leaving those of us who obsessively watch the show a little less confused than usual, which is a big win as far as I'm concerned, there's enough agreement and clues to rebuild. What's happening until a

. What is this? An Avengers movie. There's not enough depth now that the

season

is over and we're over the risk of our theories expiring a week later when a new episode blows us away in a different way. Somehow, let's look back at this season as the 10-hour movie it secretly is and explain its lingering mysteries and spoiler warning in case you haven't seen the final episode.

Well, first of all, what the hell was going on with Bernard this season? So into the season. 2 Bernard's story was split into two

timelines

, one immediately after the season 1 massacre and another 2 weeks later, when a more confused Bernard joins the season 1 security team. This final episode brought the two

timelines

together now I plan to make another video that says In These Timelines in detail but the gist is the timeline that shows Bernard escaping the massacre with Charlotte Hale teaming up with LC and learning the true park agenda, meeting with Dolores and killing her to prevent her from erasing the data in the forge, then Bernard witnesses Charlotte's murder.

LC to cover it all up, so she spends the remaining 12 hours before Della's team arrives building a host version of Charlotte and replacing the real Charlotte with her. He gave Charlotte Dolores her coat. Bernard is left on the beach after mixing his memories so that the Delos team that finds him won't be able to get those thoughts out of him. He also says goodbye to the Ford vision that had been guiding him. Bernard realizes that since he removed Ford from his code, the voice he had heard was actually himself. This suggests that Bernard has achieved a true bicameral consciousness mind by realizing that the second voice in his head is not that of a God but his own, which brings us to timeline B.

Bernard's journey with Carl Strand on the Charlotte dello steamer that unites them. in this timeline it is actually Dolores and she is in disguise. Notice how in all of these

s he is now wearing body armor, this is all part of Bernard's plan to knock Dolores out of the park when Charlotte/Dolores is scanned at the end of the episode, she is clear about Bernard's meaning. She must have missed the explosive inside each host's neck. We also learned in this episode that Bernard is actually a creation of Dolores. This is what we were seeing in this third Bernard timeline.

The test of fidelity between him and pains in the past. The original human Arnold created Dolores, of course. but over time, she recorded enough details of her biography to recreate him as a host, but the real AI host, Arnold, would inevitably end up committing suicide, so Dolores changed him to create sweet, sweet Bernard. We know that the final scene cleverly illustrated this concept of robot creating robot by including MC Escher's hands drawing a hand sketch and that brings us to Dolores this season and the question what is the door, the forge and the valley beyond the Season two showed us an awakened Dolores following the bloodthirsty narrative of Wyatt searching for something called the valley beyond the

shows Bernard. and Dolores arriving at the forge, which is a huge underground database that stores all of the park's backup drives.

This Forge is the golden egg that everyone is after it contains the secretly recorded biological data of the human guests we learned about this season in the Western world's secret agenda. to collect data on humans through recordings of the hosts in the guests' hats, the companions could do all sorts of evil things with this data, but the implication is that they plan to use it to build AI cloned versions of real people, basically to offer immortality to the The elite of the society we saw them perform these fidelity experiments with AI clones of James Dillos. Charlotte could use this human data to create host versions of all the humans who died in the massacre, basically covering up that scandal when Dolores and Bernard came through the forge. the internal computer manifests in the form of Logan, he says that humanity is not so different from the algorithms of robots that all humans also make movements without thinking according to their internal programming, unable to change, they are just passengers, hence the title of this episode during this tour.

We can see in the background several scenes from season 1 that suggest that all of these interactions were being used to structure a paradise, the digital Eden to which the host could escape. This is what the valley beyond is the forge creates a door, it is a crack. reality that only the host can see the hosts run through this door and transport their minds to this digital Eden as their empty host bodies fall into the ravine in the real world which, of course, floods, resulting in the lake of host bodies that Barnard finds. leader, but instead of letting these host minds live in peace, Dolores has different plans in the forge library, she reads books about specific humans, this includes a book about Charlotte Hale and also a book about Carl Strand.

The pages of these books are written in sheet music for a piano that echoes Ford's final speech, vows about Beethoven and Chopin never died, they simply became music now Dolores initially plans to erase all the host's data, but after Bernard he kills her, instead he uses dello satellites to send them somewhere else and this change in behavior suggests a higher level of consciousness and so does Dolores, so what's next for Dolores and Bernard? Well, the final scene showed Bernard Dolores and Charlotte outside of Westworld in the human world. We had just seen Charlotte cut off Dolores escaping from her with five brain pearls in her purse. be once for Charlotte Bernard maybe also Teddy made Abernathy or others the final conversation between Dolores and Bernard hints at an upcoming war against the human race Dolores is militant while Bernard sees the goodness in humanity there actually seem to be some parallels with the movement of civil rights with one revolutionary seeking change through compassion and the other seeking change through violent agitations, so I think next season we can expect Dolores and Bernard to continue this ethical debate as Dolores wages war against humanity.

In the meantime, remember that we still have three sections of West World Park. to be revealed, so I guess we'll get to that too, there's also more Williams story to be told, so what happened in the

into the forge to find his daughter Emily, revealing to her that he is within his own test of fidelity, so what does this mean for William?

Is he a presenter? How is Emily still alive? I'll be on the mirror coach. Showrunner Lisa Joy confirmed that this post-credits scene takes place in the distant future. That's why the forge is this dusty ruin. Now William really killed his daughter. Emily in the previous episode, is now a host version of her and this William is also a host reliving his final visit to the Western world over and over again as these future hosts try to perfect this coding of AI clones to try to match the future Royal William. he will go through the same endless ordeal that he put James dello through meanwhile in the current timeline Williams survived, he was found by Stubbs in the recovery team, he will probably live to fight another day for me.

Williams' role in season 2 was represents true human nature, he is cruel, intelligent and cursed and we learned that his main goal is to conquer death in the first season, one of the risks is being real to death and Westworld to be a real option in the second season, he fulfills his wish in which he participated. a game with four that led him to truly suffer and this post-credits scene teases that William will truly achieve the immortality he seeks just like a host trapped in a gilded cage forever and ever, never dark, so which covers Dolores Barnard, William and Charlotte, but what about the fate of the other characters in this final episode?

We saw some characters reach the valley beyond the digital Eden. The daughter of Teddy Maeve, the warrior of the ghost nation, a cachi and his wife. Most of the other characters didn't make it. Clementine Hector. and Armistice and Geisha Honey all died in the hosts' hand-to-hand combat at the end of the finale. Felix and Sylvester were tasked with determining which hosts to bring back, suggesting that Maeve and his cohorts will likely return while both human characters like Lea and Elsie were shot. and died in the finale and one last big reveal was that Stubbs has also been hosting this whole time, he apparently revealed to Charlotte Slash Dolores that Ford also programmed him with a scroll and that's why he allows him to escape, he knows there are probably many .

More questions to ask about this season of Westworld, but I have a question for you: do you want Dolores to succeed?
