Even when we’re not again in Westworld, it positive feels good to be again in Westworld! The Season three premiere simplified the storytelling and took us into the actual world to observe Dolores (Evan Rachel Wood) on her mission to destroy us all. However despite the fact that issues have been simpler to grasp than they have been in Season 2, there have been nonetheless a number of questions that went unanswered. What’s the System? Who’s in control of the System? The place the hell was Maeve (Thandie Newton)? How did Dolores do this factor along with her costume?
However the largest query of all needed to be who’s in Charlotte’s physique? Somewhat catch-up in case you forgot; Dolores was capable of escape Westworld in Season 2 as a result of she put her pearl, or host-control unit, within a bunch physique’s model of Charlotte (Tessa Thompson). As soon as in the actual world and at Bernard’s previous home, Dolores made a brand new host model of herself and moved her pearl over to that physique, however we additionally noticed Charlotte — or somebody inside her physique — standing there as effectively. On prime of that, Dolores introduced 5 pearls along with her off the island, one in all which belonged to Bernard (Jeffrey Wright), which she additionally introduced again to “life” in the actual world.

Within the Season three premiere, Charlotte could be very a lot current, main a board assembly at Delos and making an attempt to tamper down the bloodbath at Westworld. So who’s in Charlotte’s physique now? Let us take a look at the doubtless suspects.
Teddy
James Marsden, Evan Rachel Wooden; Westworld
Teddy (James Marsden) shot himself within the head as a result of Dolores went completely nutso in her quest to remove all the human race, however that is Westworld, and demise is hardly the tip. We’re led to consider that Dolores uploaded Teddy’s consciousness into the Elegant, the robotic heaven Ford created to provide his creations true freedom from meddling people. Nevertheless, there have been few individuals who cared for Dolores greater than Teddy (or who Dolores cared for extra), so Teddy would make a primo ally for Dolores on her subsequent endeavor out of the park — she’d simply have to discover a solution to get him again from the Elegant or possibly she by no means despatched him there in any respect. It will take some convincing on Dolores’ half to get him on board with the plan that he already killed himself over, however convincing a robotic is as simple as swiping up the proper dials on an iPad that is tapped into their management unit.
Armistice
Ingrid Bolsø Berdal, Westworld
One of many few characters completely on board with Dolores’ reign of terror was Armistice (Ingrid Bolsø Berdal), the robotic with the dragon (OK, snake) tattoos, one other feminine character with a knack for doling out punishment. Armistice is a superb candidate to be both in Charlotte or not less than in one of many different pearls as an Ally to Dolores. However there is a huge drawback that many of those different choices even have: How can they be so knowledgable about Delos’ enterprise? Possibly a greater vacation spot for her is in Liam’s bodyguard’s (Tommy Flanagan) duplicate, as he is a brawn and weapons type of man.

Peter Abernathy
Louis Herthum, Westworld
One of many few individuals Dolores actually beloved was her dad Peter (Louis Herthum), so it could make sense she would attempt to convey her again. Dolores took the pearl from his head late in Season 2, and it contained quite a lot of visitor data inside it in addition to a very broken-down and glitching model of her dad, so it is unclear what she must do get him up and operating once more. And would he even have the ability to play any position as a human? The man was certifiable by the tip there. He could also be one of many different pearls.
A digitized model of Charlotte Hale
Jeffrey Wright, Tessa Thompson; Westworld
Westworld wasn’t nearly wealthy dudes enjoying cowboy and banging robotic farmer’s daughters, it was really an advanced knowledge assortment system designed to map the human consciousness in an effort to put them in new synthetic our bodies. We noticed younger William (Jimmi Simpson) attempt to ctrl-C, ctrl-V his dad’s consciousness right into a robo-replication of his dad with blended outcomes, however who’s to say that experimentation stopped there? It is potential Dolores discovered a digitized copy of Charlotte someplace and put her in a brand new physique. Who higher to play Charlotte then Charlotte herself? Who else can take cost of a Delos assembly that simply? Who else is not going to freak the f out once they look in a mirror for the primary time as soon as they’re in Charlotte? The problem right here can be convincing this “new” Charlotte to go together with Dolores’ plans, as a result of it appeared Charlotte had plans of her personal.

One other copy of Dolores
Evan Rachel Wooden, Westworld
Look, I do not know the way any of this expertise works. It is all made-up mumbo-jumbo to me. But when we are able to copy-and-paste a Google doc right into a Phrase doc in 2020, cannot Dolores simply xerox herself into a brand new pearl? However, when you have been Dolores, would you need another person as ruthless as you have been on the market someplace?
