The second episode of Westworld season 3 is here, not as action packed as last episode, but still a lot happened. This also felt faster than the first episode in terms of story andthe episode mostly revolves around Maeve and Bernard. So let’s recap what happened.

The Episode starts with the post-credit scene of the first episode. Maeve just woke up in a whole new Theme Park world called ‘War World’. She seemed confused at first, as she seemed to have memories of everything that happened to her before she was put into this world by Delos.She meets Hector again too, she’s surprised to see him, but also happy that they are in the same world. Hector talks to Maeve about how he’s found a way to escape. Hector takes Maeve to an open field where a plane was waiting for them. When they enter the plane they find out the crew inside is dead, and then Hector refers to Maeve as Isabella, that’s when she realises that Hector doesn’t remember her, and is just a part of a new narrative and none of this is real. She lets Hector die and kills herself.

Then we again see a Rehoboam representation where it says there’s a divergence near south china sea, where westworld is located, and also where Bernard was going in the last episode to find Maeve. The Captain of the boat that Bernard was using to get to Westworld says something odd, he says that “I remember these waters, when they were red with blood”. I think he’s referring to the masacre. Bernard gets to Westworld and then we switch back to Maeve’s perspective.

Maeve is brought back to Mesa, for healing the damages and usual westworld stuff. We see Felix Lutz operating on her with some other technician. When the other technician isn’t looking, Maeve holds Felix’s hand, Felix is shocked and scared by this. Anyone would be if you know what happened last time. Both technicians leave Maeve on the operating table to fix some other hosts. Maeve grabs something sharp, and a robe to wear and starts exploring Mesa. While she’s doing this Sylvester spots her and reports her to security. Security chases her and she goes and tries to commit sucide and die for real, instead of getting killed by the security. Just when she’s about to kill herself, Lee Sizemore intervenes saying that Maeve is just acting like this because he’s trying out a new narrative. Lee is shown he still has bullet wounds but has survived them, but the security must be absolute idiots, they must have known the history between Lee and Maeve to let the roam loose in the park. Lee explains to Maeve how he still ends up working for Delos, and talks to Maeve about how she could get to her Daughter.

We then again jump to Bernard, He’s outside Ford’s house inside westworld. He goes inside to where the copies of his bodies are kept and finds out Stubbs was a host who tried to kill himself too, but failed at it. He explains to Bernard how he’s only core drive was to get Bernard out of westworld and protect all the hosts inside westworld. Him being a host wasn’t a surprise to a lot of us though, at least not to me. Bernard explains to Stubbs why he’s back in the westworld, and Stubbs decides to help Bernard to find Maeve. There’s a lot of back and forth between Bernard and Maeve now so be prepared.

We go back to Maeve and see the narrative of the war world repeat. But instead of going to the plane Maeve parts ways with Hector, Maeve goes to forge while Hector goes to the plane.

We again jump back to Bernard and stubbs and see them entering Mesa too. They went to where they stored all the hosts in the westworld.

Maeve and Lee enter the forge, and Lee assumes that Maeve knows how to use the forge or the coordinates of the satellite. Maeve starts to doubt if Lee is a host or Human. And then Maeve figures out that she’s a host too.

Then we see Bernard and Stubbs find Maeve’s body but her brain is gone.

Maeve also figures out that not only Lee is a host but she’s also in a simulation.

Bernard and Stubbs go to find a nearest operating console, so they could find Maeve.

Lee does not believe that he’s reality is fake so Maeve overloads the simulation, so it could not process properly and Lee believes her.They use this flaw to overload the simulation so it could not work anymore.(Someone has been taking notes from rick and morty)

Bernard looks for Maeve but they find out she has left the park. Bernard then talks about if his code was corrupted then he could not build a machine who would know if his code is corrupted or not, so he needs one of Delo’s Tablet and asks Stubbs to buy him some time. We see some flashbacks of Bernard but before he could complete his diagnostics, they are interrupted by security and have to escape.

The narrative inside the simulation world repeats and the simulation breaks is overloaded and breaks. Maeve hacks a robot in the real world from the Simulation world. The robot grabs the brain pearl of Maeve and tries to escape but is sadly destroyed.

We then see Bernard and Stubbs outside of Westworld who go back into the real world again.

We see Maeve wake up, this time hopefully in the real world, where she has a chat with Sarec about who he is and how Sarec and Dolores are at war and He needs Maeve to kill Dolores. Sarec seems to control Maeve via a remote he has.

Review:

So the Westworld creators going all Simulation route is not that appealing to me anymore since this is just like the first season, about host figuring out thier reality is real and are controlled by higher power.

The fact Maeve knows everything about simulation and all is also just seems to annoy me, I mean I know she’s a host but how does she know what is a simulation and how to break it, she hasn’t been inside one of them.

I hope they stop making her so over powered all the time like she’s some sort of god, I mean I think she’s a great charcter, but what makes someone an appealing character is that the fact they have weaknesses too. But Maeve kicks eveyone’s ass without losing to anyone. The same is true for Dolores.
