Westworld Episode 3 Instant Take: “Virto¹ e Fortuna”

Roger returns to the podcast much soberer than the last episode as the Shatty Trio provide their instant thoughts of Episode 3 of Westworld Season 2, “Virto¹ e Fortuna”.

The world that Delos created has gotten much larger, and so has our Instacast, as we review the introduction of a new theme park, use our high school Latin textbooks to understand the meaning of the title, and ponder the connective plot points we witnessed.

What does “Virto¹ e Fortuna” mean? What’s the new park called? Who’s that mystery woman? And how do you say “these violent delights have violent ends” in Punjabi? Fret not dear listeners, if there’s a topic we didn’t discuss, let us know and we’ll explore it during our Deep Dive episode on Tuesday.

Welcome back, Louis Herthum. We missed you. Now go kick ass. To read all our fan email, theories and more, plus Gene Lyons’ responses to them, visit https://shatontv.com/category/westworld-telegraph/

Westworld Episode 3 Summary:
“Virto¹ e Fortuna” Charlotte and Bernard track down the decommissioned Peter Abernathy only to be caught by the Confederados and separated, with Charlotte regrouping with a Delos security team. Dolores, who has secured support from the Confederados’ leader Major Craddock, discovers that Peter is malfunctioning and orders Bernard to find the problem. In doing so, he learns that Peter is being tracked by an unknown entity. Dolores and her allies proceed to battle the security team, which Charlotte uses as a distraction to abduct Peter. Dolores wins the battle by sacrificing most of the Confederados. Maeve, Hector, and Lee reunite with Armistice, Felix, and Sylvester after an attack orchestrated by Ghost Nation hosts forces them to return to the underground levels. The party reenters the park only for a samurai host to charge at them. Elsewhere, a guest at a British Raj-themed park flees rogue hosts and escapes into Westworld, where she is surrounded by Ghost Nation hosts.
