the twist is she's still humanSo is Elsie coming back as a host?
Ford could definitely be a host, but I think it's more likely that he's an augmented human. Something is up with him. He can basically control all the functions of the park with his thoughts, an ability we don't see anyone else having. Maybe this is the tech Delos is interested in.Ford is maybe a host too? Arnold's 'Model T'?
Incidentally, the visual switch from Bernard's POV to Theresa's for the door on the wall was fucking brilliant. Coupled with the dialogue.
I now need to rewatch ALL of Bernard's scenes. What else could be 'missing' from his view?
... but is everyone at least in agreement that Theresa is coming back as a host?
OH SHIT!
Think about something. All those schematics Theresa looked at: The Boy, Dolores, etc.
Ford already established that Arnold had built those hosts. If Bernard is in with those schematics and in the same style of drawing...
doesn't that mean Arnold built Bernard??
No doubt. That was her on the 3D printer.... but is everyone at least in agreement that Theresa is coming back as a host?
Bernard is Arnold in Host form
We didn't see a name for the Bernard schematic, did we?
But why would Arnold build himself? Except, what if Ford is Arnold, and Bernard is the real Ford? Thus, Arnold built all those old models, including Bernard.
Nope
And Im sure that is because it is actually Arnold schematic, but Ford couldnt name him that so he choose Bernard, which is an anagram of Arnold...

Bernard, which is an anagram of Arnold...
How is Bernard an anagram of Arnold?

His full name is Bernard Lowe.

Bernard Lowe = Arnold Weberwhat? no it's not
Bernard Lowe has the letters for Arnold in it, with some leftovers (bewre)
Bernard Lowe = Arnold Weber

Bernard Lowe = Arnold Weber

If I were to make a super secret host replica of my dead business partner, I'd just make up an entirely new name that doesn't have Hardy Boys clues in it. But that's just me...
wesleyshark said:Dolores Abernathy = Arnold Base Theory
Yeah, Weber isn't official or confirmed. It's just the letters that are leftover and since we don't actually know Arnold's last name yet, the theory has picked up some traction.Well, bear in mind we don't know Arnold's last name yet, unless I missed something. So its not 'confirmed' persay.
Also, a big factor that could indicate that Bernard is Host Arnold is this
Similar thing happened today. Bernard entered the house and there was no door at the wall, because we were seeing from his perspective. Same reason he didnt see ''himself'' on that picture, because he is set to not see some things to no confuse him.

The same way when today when Bernard entered the house there was no door at the wall, because we were seeing from his perspective, he didnt see ''himself'' on that picture
So if Bernand is based off Arnold then those talks between Dolores and 'Bernard' were actually with Arnold.
and Ford also mentioned that Arnold's life was marred by personal tragedy (ie his son dying)
And those talks being flashbacks from when Arnold was using Dolores to destroy the parkSo if Bernand is based off Arnold then those talks between Dolores and 'Bernard' were actually with Arnold.
Cool episode.
3. Bernard is probably not a host, but the way Ford was talking to him in Ford's office made it seem like he was.
Ooo yesYeah, I think it makes a lot of sense.
Also, that could explain the talks Dolores had in that very same basement we saw today. That could be Arnold in the past, not Bernard as we were made to think at earlier episodes. In those conversations she was fully dressed, and we know that Arnold had a different approach to interact with Hosts than Ford or the others have. He related way more to them.

So this episode confirmed the Maeve thing is taking place in the present with the likelihood that Dolores went rouge 35 years ago I guess.
Edit: Actually I guess that was confirmed last episode.
Ford kept reminding Bernard "the hosts aren't real." He literally didn't want him to repeat Arnold's mistakes i.e. approach to hosts.Yeah, I think it makes a lot of sense.

See this is what makes a reveal/twist good. When you go back through the story, things gain new meaning and relevance with the new knowledge. It's what separates a cheap twist from a meaningful revealFord kept reminding Bernard "the hosts aren't real." He literally didn't want him to repeat Arnold's mistakes i.e. approach to hosts.
