Episode 3 Notes- The ‘Symbol’ and Other Things

Published May 7, 2018 · Updated July 6, 2022

Hey Guys,

The same symbol pops up three times – it’s on the map/notebook of the new guest character we meet in ‘Rajworld’ at the cold open of episode 3. The same symbol is also shown on the tablet after Bernard hacks the encryption key on Abernathy.

I rewatched episode 1 and noticed this symbol also shows on the right side monitor in the hidden drone host lab as Charlotte is using facial recognition to log on to the computer terminal.

Connecting hunches on the context of the appearance of each symbol… So our new female ‘guest’ character is on a mission to get the Abernathy info too? Maybe? Although her name in credits is ‘Grace’ – what if this is actually the man in black/Williams daughter Emily? So if Abernathy is holding Jim Delos’s ‘insurance policy’ maybe she is after it herself for a different reason than the company? This would put her at odds with the company board members – and we don’t have enough information yet to know why. Maybe?

Other thoughts from Episode 3 – I’ve now noticed that the crew that arrived on the beach in episode 1 don’t have the crazy looking auto guns that the park security have – traditional looking auto guns instead of the crazy futuristic looking ones. Is there a reason for this?

Dolores followers – they were followers of Angela before the incident – the ones that are concealing their faces . Is there a reason they are concealing their faces? It seems some of them have the black ?sheets? Wrapped around their faces in a way as if they wouldn’t be able to see – this is looking more strange each episode goes on – especially during the episode 3 battle. Why are they wrapping their heads?

Did Bernard use the mesh network to pass the unlocked info from Abernathy to himself? He seemed to be freaking out again after looking at it-after the security team took Abernathy away. Is Bernard the new macguffin? He didn’t take another blow to the head (at least not until zombie clementine laid him out lol)-and he started freaking out again between that time.

Speaking of zombie clementine – it also looks like Angela isn’t doing so hot either in this episode. Can we expect to see the hosts look worse and worse with each episode as they continue to function without all their blood/’juices’? Since Dolores got hit a couple times – is she going to follow suit and start looking undead-ish in the coming episodes?

Also YAY Felix and Armistice are back! The samurai they ran into crosses over to Westworld it looks like? So they must be near the border to shogun world and the laser boarders shown in the cold open are allowing hosts of all kinds to start mixing with the other parks=just an observation.

Also when new female guest character is tossed into the water with tiger at beginning – it appears to be near a dam. Where the tiger washes up is close to the sea from episode 1. So it looks like the sea may be caused by the dam coming down. But we don’t know the functional reason to bring down the dam – to kill a bunch of hosts seems like a bad reason, they probably haven’t explored the actual purpose yet.
