The latest episode of “Westworld” is sure a gut wrenching one. The android brothel madam carved out her abdomen and exhorted a bandit to poke around in there like a trick or treat on a Halloween night.
The hookers odd behavior was caused by her suspicion that her belly may hold the answer to why she suddenly have the frequent, unsettling visions about violent events which she does not remember experiencing at all. She was able to get an answer, however, which lies deeply buried in her obliques.
Meanwhile, Dolores continued evolving as she commented in a conversation with Bernard about on how much she is hurting. Bernard then said that he can make those feelings go away. “Why would I want that?” she asked, puzzled and confused.
The next line confirmed suspicion that Dolores is no longer parroting her computer programming when she came out with a sensible observation. “I think there may be something wrong with this world, hiding underneath. Either that, or there’s something wrong with me. I may be losing my mind.”
