Like she wants to cut into her skin and rip me out of her head."ĭolores describes the real Hale as ruthless and a predator. Later when the self-injuring gets worse, she tells Dolores that, "It's like she's trying to take back control. When she's first brought online and told by Dolores who she needs to pretend to be, Hale replies, "Charlotte Hale? But she tried to kill all of us. She's self-harming, unsure of herself and constantly going back to Dolores. Whoever's in Hale's body is not dealing with it very well. But at the end of season 2, when Dolores is bringing Bernard back online, Hale is already there. Whatever happened during that scene cut (which we don't see) might give a clue as to who is now inside Hale's body since Dolores has her own body - if that really is Dolores in her body.īut how would Dolores extract her pearl from Halores and place it inside her own newly printed body?

If you need a refresher on the first two seasons, read our Westworld season 1 and 2 recap. But before we jump into the third episode, take a look at our recaps for the season 3 premiere episode and episode 2. Season 3, episode 3, titled The Absence of Field, was written by Denise Thé and directed by Amanda Marsalis. But episode 3 brings us back into the "real" world of 2058 where Dolores is methodically executing her plan and Serac is trying to stop her. In episode 2, viewers got to go back to what remained of the Westworld park where we were treated to an epic Easter egg combo that referenced both Game Of Thrones and Jurassic Park.
The link to both is, no surprise here, Dolores ( Evan Rachel Wood), which brings us to one of the most intriguing unanswered questions from the season 2 finale: Who is in Charlotte Hale's host body? On Sunday, HBO aired Westworld's third episode in season 3, giving us a closer look at Charlotte Hale ( Tessa Thompson) and Caleb Nichols ( Aaron Paul). In the third episode of Westworld, Caleb and Dolores get to know each other better.
