2) Maeve Makes A Choice
Thanks to Hector, Armistice and Felix, Maeve makes her way out of Westworld and onto the train that will take her to a brave new world. But when mere moments away from freedom, her old motherly instincts kick in and she decides she can’t leave the host child who was once her daughter in the park. As Ford’s voiceover explains that he wants his creations to make their own choices now, Maeve elects to go make the bravest choice possible – to go back into Westworld, possibly never to get out again.
It’s a powerful moment, and makes for an interesting contrast with Dolores’ own choice. While the once sweet farm girl chooses freedom through violence, the ostensibly more trigger-happy Maeve chooses the more human route of acting on love.
We just really hope it’s a decision she doesn’t come to regret next season.
