Westworld is full of mysteries, but these are the questions we absolutely need answered in the season 2 finale.
1. How did the hosts get into the sea?
This has been one of the biggest questions in season 2 since episode 1. Somehow, after an entire season of the hosts fighting for their freedom, the vast majority of them ended up in the Westworld sea that we didn’t even know existed, prior to this season.
Our best guess is that Clementine and her new “virus” has something to do with the bloodless massacre, but theories range from huge floods to the hosts ditching their bodies. Since this is the mystery that the season was initially based around, we’re sure it will be put to bed in the season 2 finale.
2. What awaits the hosts in the ‘Valley Beyond?’
…or the Door…or the Forge. Whatever you want to call it! As of Westworld season 2, episode 9, we do know a few things about it. For starters, it holds the surveillance information that Delos has been collecting from the guests, via their hats.
Dolores seems to think that the Valley Beyond is the key to their survival. It was also speculated that a host could do a lot of damage with that information, so she might be right, if she plans to use the information for blackmail purposes. We also need to know what Delos was even planning on doing with the information, and if they ever succeeded in achieving immortality.
From the season 2 finale trailer, we also know that we’ll probably find Logan Delos in the Valley! Is he the only past character we’ll see? Could deceased characters, including William’s family, come back there? Will Teddy be backed up somewhere in the Forge?
Another big questions about the Valley is, who is it meant for? Dolores has mentioned that Ghost Nation doesn’t deserve to go there, while they clearly have other ideas. Whatever lies in the Valley, we hope the answers to all these questions are there with it!
3. WTF is going on with Bernard?
It seems like Bernard has finally succeeded in getting Ford out of his head, but even though he’s finally his own man/host again (kind of), we still have no idea what’s going on with him.
He’s been at the center of the timeline jump for the entire season, and we still have a room full of Bern-Arnolds that have some serious explaining to do. How many Bernards are there? Are there multiple copies active in season 2? Who’s side is he on? Seriously…WTF is going on with Bernard?!
4. Is William a host?
Fans have been wondering about this one since Westworld began, but in season 2, episode 9, this mystery was given a whole new life.
Besides his death defying capabilities in season 2, he was literally digging into his arm searching for a connection at the end of the penultimate episode, so this one will likely be answered sooner rather than later.
It will be interesting to see how William being (or not being) a host will factor into Ford’s riddle from the beginning of the season, and what it could mean for his guilt after potentially killing his daughter! Or is she a host too…?
5. What is Maeve up to?
After being very active for season 1 and most of season 2, it’s been odd to see Maeve just laying on a table for the past couple of episodes. From the trailer, we know that she will be back in action in the finale, but what course did Ford set her on, and can she still affect the other hosts?
