- The Man walks through a torn-up apartment, stepping on broken glass, and says to himself that he knows who he is and what is real. He shoots the gun he's holding at a mirror and yells that he knows "it" isn't real. Blood drips on his head, and the Man looks up to see blood dripping down from a chandelier. Water comes crashing down from the ceiling above the chandelier and William finds himself in a bathtub filled with water. He climbs out onto the flooded floor and yells for Dolores to stop doing it to him.
The Man's dead daughter Grace touches him on the shoulder and tells the Man that it doesn't look good. He insists that she's not really there, and "Grace" tells him that anyone whoever cared about him is dead just like her. The Man tells her to shut up, and grace asks what he's going to do if she doesn't. She then begs him not to shoot her again, and blood seeps from a bullet wound in her chest. The Man insists that it wasn't his fault because he thought she wasn't real, and Grace immediately calms down and says that he doesn't think she's real then and there. She asks the Man how he can be sure, and the Man insists that he's in control and always has been. Grace wonders if every choice he's ever made hasn't been a choice at all, but just something written in his code.
Grace holds up a programming card with the Man's code, and the Man says that it was Ford's misanthropic bullshit and Ford couldn't save himself. He insists that his choices are his own, and Grace asks if he's free and evil, or blameless and hopelessly enslaved. The Man tells her to go away, but Grace says that maybe he isn't himself and asks if he'd even know if he was changed or just another machine. She rolls up his sleeve and tells him to finish the game, and puts a piece of broken glass in his hand. The Man takes it and sits on the edge of the bathtub, and contemplates killing himself.
Grace disappears as a light shines in the Man's face, and Charlotte says that he's making the most of his sabbatical. When he asks where Grace is, Charlotte asks who he means. The Man picks up his gun, tells Dolores that she's not real, and points his gun at her. Charlotte casually disarms him and tells him that it's time to come back to reality. She says that in less than 20 hours, Serac will get a controlling interest in Delos. She points out that the Man sold some of Delos' data to Serac 20 years ago and now he's coming for the Man's fortune. The Man tells Charlotte that Serac is welcome to it, and Charlotte asks if he's going to let someone steal Delos from him. He points out that he delegated his duties and Serac is stealing Delos from her, and Charlotte explains that Serac is trying to get the data from Sector 16. She explains that Serac has a mole in Delos, and the Man says that Charlotte wanted power so he gave it to her and he thought she was smarter than to be fooled by a mole.
Charlotte says that they have to save the Man's company, and she has a deep pocket investor who can take Delos private so Serac can't touch them. However, she can't take Delos private without a majority vote, and the Man has the bulk of the shares. She admits that she needs the Man's support at that night's emergency board meeting, and two of her execs will escort the Man to Delos headquarters. Charlotte asks the Man to come back to who he was, and the Man glares at her.
Dolores approaches Bernard in his house and tells him that it's finished. Bernard says that he didn't finish it, and figures that it isn't real. He realizes that he's in the workshop where Dolores recreated his host body, and she tells him that she remembered him before and remembered him again. Bernard wonders who else Dolores took out of Westworld with her, and she says that Bernard told her that they could be whoever they wanted.
In Victorville in the U.S., Bernard walks down a street and notices a boy watching him. He remembers his own "son" and walks on. He goes to a motel room where Stubbs is waiting, and tells the other Host that they have limited resources and they need to use them when they matter most. Stubbs activates Bernard's tablet and finds a photo of Liam, Martin, and Dolores in the background. He wonders if Bernard's remote will work to deactivate Dolores, and Bernard uses it on Stubbs to demonstrate its efficacy, immobilizing Stubbs. Satisfied, Bernard unfreezes Stubbs and says that once Stubbs gets him close to the Host Dolores made of Liam, Bernard will get Liam to tell them which other humans Dolores copied, and then he'll disable Liam completely. He explains that he hacked Liam's car service to find out where he'll be, takes out a suit that he brought, and tells Stubbs that they're going to have a night out on the town.
Dolores and Caleb go to a tailor shop and she picks out a suit for him. Caleb asks who they're going after, and Dolores says that it's the person who took Caleb's future... but first they have to take his. To do that, Caleb has to be one of them.
Martin goes to Liam's office and says that he has some proxy business for him, for the offshore accounts. He says that he needs the money to cover up the deaths of the men that Dolores killed, and Liam says that they'll deal with it later. As Liam goes, Martin grabs his arm and tells him that the key to his harbored life is accepting his place. He says that he'll be glad to relinquish Liam's financial affairs to Liam if Liam wants to take charge of them, but if Liam wants to go back to his "extracurricular activities" then he'll sign the proxies. Liam signs the tablet with proxies and leaves. Once he's gone, Martin confirms that Liam's hash key was transferred.
Dolores and Caleb approach a man, Michael, on the street, and Dolores "accidentally" bumps into him and apologizes. She "recognizes" him and claims that she's Olivia. She knocks Michael out and hauls his unconscious body into an alcove out of sight, and Caleb helps her. Dolores extracts blood from Michael's neck and injects it into Caleb's forearm, saying that they need the encryption key in the blood to pull off her plan.
That night at a hotel bar, Serac brings Maeve back online. She looks around the room, and Serac explains that they're in Singapore. When Maeve suggests that he should have taken her to Paris to impress her, Serac says that there's nothing left of the city to see by a nuclear bomb. Maeve asks him what he wants for Dolores, and Serac says humanity's biggest threat has always been itself. He's been trying to negotiate a way for humanity into the future, so he created the most comprehensive picture of humanity ever to understand it. It is still incomplete, and he discovered that someone had completed a more complete portrait: a map of the human mind, created in Westworld. Dolores has the key to the data, and Maeve wonders what's in it for her to find Dolores. Serac offers Maeve a future in the world she sent her daughter to. Maeve says that world is locked away from the real world, and Serac tells her that Dolores has the only key to it, hidden away in her mind. He says that he wants to show her something and then she can go back to Westworld if she likes.
Maeve follows Serac out and along the street, and he leads her to a walled housed, what he calls "The Diverge". Serac explains that it's where the future he planned ended, and goes inside. He leads Maeve in and explains that the system traced the Divergence to the house three months ago. Inside is the Host manufacturing machine, and Maeve realizes that it's where Dolores remade herself. Serac explains that Dolores stole five pearls as her allies, and Dolores didn't choose Maeve.
Serac leads Maeve to another room where a man is beating Jiang, who is tied to a chair. The Frenchman explains that Jiang captive is an identity broker and a few months ago he received a payment from a wealthy man who drowned in his own swimming pool. Serac figures the broker helped Dolores establish her new identity, and tells Jiang broker that he needs to know where he sent Dolores. Jiang man says that he won' talk, and Serac tells him that he's seen the broker's whole life and knows what motivates him. Serac puts a pair of glasses on Jiang, , and tells Maeve that he's showing him what becomes of his family if he helps them... or refuses to talk.
Jiang begs Serac to make it stop, and when Serac removes the glasses he says that Dolores needed five identities and he sent her to the Mortician. Serac thanks him, takes a gun from his man, and shoots Jiang dead. The Frenchman then tells Maeve that the broker was a traitor to his kind whether he understood it or not, and Maeve can have a real Heaven and Hell: eternity with her daughter, or in her cage with the rest of her kind. When Maeve wonders why she should bring Dolores to Serac, Serac warns that they can build an off-switch into her mind and shows her the remote he used to shut her down earlier. He warns that Dolores and the other five have a head start on Maeve, and Maeve smiles and leaves.
The Man shaves, and Charlotte comes in and offers to help him. He accepts and says that they need to find the mole first. Charlotte points out that most of the people who knew about the project are dead, and the Man suggests that since she isn't dead she might be the mole. Charlotte says that if she was, she'd tell Serac that the Sector 16 data was lost in the massacre. The Man warns that Serac might find out about the project if he takes over Delos, and Charlotte walks off and the Man goes back to shaving.
Dolores and Caleb arrive at a bank and Dolores says that the blood marker should be good for 15 more minutes. If it degrades before they're ready, they'll do it the old-fashioned way: she kills everyone. A guard greets them and Caleb says that they have a financial transaction, and use his biometrics to verify his identity. Once he does, the guard leads them in and Caleb says that he needs to make a transfer for his client, Liam. Dolores presents Liam's hash key to the manager, who warns that a full withdrawal is unusual. Caleb deflects her question and the manager apologizes for her indiscretion.
The manager then says that they have to do one more authentication because of the size of the transaction, but can't get a proper read on the blood marker because it's degraded. She says that perspiration can sometimes degrade the scanner, and Dolores gives Caleb a handkerchief to wipe his hand. He does so while Dolores grasps a gun in her purse and eyes a nearby guard. Caleb sees her do so and uses the scanner, and it scans him as Michael. The transaction goes through, and Caleb and Dolores leave.
Maeve walks through Singapore, using her ability on the electronics systems around her. She finds a club and tells the two guards that she's looking for the Mortician. One of them flashes his gun and tells Maeve to leave, and she knocks down one guard and points the other man's gun at his crotch. The guard says that they just have a phone number for the Mortician, and Maeve shoots him the groin and tells him to call the number.
Soon medics bring the wounded guard to the Mortician in his morgue, Maeve training the gun on them. She tells the Mortician that she wants information on someone the Mortician sold an identity to. Maeve describes Dolores and casually shoots one of the Mortician's guards dead when he goes for his gun. The Mortician calls for more help via her earbud, and Maeve overloads it. She repeats her question, and the Mortician says she sold Dolores the blood of a girl named Laura. The Mortician insists that Dolores didn't ask for more blood, and asked her to smuggle out bodies. Since the Mortician doesn't run that business, she sent Dolores to the Yakuza and they helped her with the bodies. Maeve asks for an introduction to the Yakuza.
Liam arrives at a masquerade party and dons a mask. Roderick and Penny come over and offer their condolences on Dolores' supposed death, and Roderick says that the party is about self-gratification. They check the men and women on display, and Roderick offers Liam a vial of a drug, Genre, which plays memories in the user's mind. Liam takes it, and Penny puts on a mask and says that she's going to take in a show. Roderick assures Liam that all the prostitutes are registered, and the money goes to charity.
Dolores and Caleb come in as guests and don masks. She tells Caleb that she'll take Liam when he's alone, while Martin watches them from a balcony above and notes their arrival.
Liam identifies himself on a tablet so he can enter the auction, and the waiter tells him that his account has been denied. Martin notes the exchange and informs Dolores, and she tells Martin to intercept Liam. Meanwhile, Liam angrily leaves to find his financier, Carlos. Bernard and Stubbs grab Liam, and Bernard tries to shut Liam down, assuming that he's a Host. His shutdown device has no effect, and he tells Liam that he's in danger and has to come with them. Stubbs puts a gun to Liam's side to quiet him down, and Liam goes with them. Martin sees the entire thing, and tells Dolores that Bernard arrived earlier than anticipated and is heading her way.
Dolores arrives and opens fire on Bernard and Stubbs. They take cover and Bernard leads Liam off, while Stubbs attacks Dolores. She easily knocks him down, gives Caleb her gun, and tells him to go after Bernard and Liam. Stubbs recovers and Delores tells him that it was never his fight, and he says that he can't stay out of it because of Bernard. The two of them fight and Penny, nearby, recognizes Dolores, but assumes it's the Genre she's taken. When Stubbs comes at her, Dolores them him over a balcony railing to the floor below. She walks off past Roderick, who stares at her in surprise and recognition.
The Mortician takes Maeve to the Yakuza HQ in a distillery. Maeve overrides the electronic park with her power and the gate opens. She leads the Mortician in, and the Yakuza thugs inside draw their guns. Maeve says that she wants to talk to their leader, Sato, and they try to shoot her with their self-aiming smarty guns. She takes control of the leader's when it refuses to respond to his orders. She knocks him down and forces the other guns to shoot their wielders. The last thug standing draws a short sword and charges at Maeve, who disarms him and kills him with his own blade. Maeve then goes into Sato's office.
The cleaned-up Man joins Charlotte outside and says that they should get it over with as she goes back in with him. He says that he'll meet with the Delos board when he's ready, and Charlotte goes into the board room to announce his presence. Grace comes in and greets her father, and the Man tells her that she's not real. She says that she isn't anymore, so he's stuck with her. He says that he chose to kill her, thinking she was a Host, and figures that now she's his penance. The Man admits that's a choice as well, and he's choosing to leave her behind when he goes. Grace says that he taught her patience, and she'll be waiting for him. After staring at her for a moment, the Man walks past his daughter.
Maeve and the Mortician walk through the distillery, and find Sato: Musashi, from Eastworld. Before Maeve can take control of him, a thug opens fire on her and she takes cover. Maeve takes control of the man's smart gun, freezes it and him in place, grabs a sword from a nearby rack, and kills him. She stabs the barrel behind him as well, and it leaks white fluid like the fluid used to create Hosts.
Musashi steps out of the cage he's sitting in and greets Maeve. He aims a gun at her, but then shoots the Mortician dead instead of Maeve.
Bernard takes Liam out to a waiting car, and Caleb puts the gun to Bernard's head and tells him to stop. Caleb has no idea what Bernard is talking about when Bernard assumes that he's a Host, and Martin and his men arrive. Martin shoots his men dead and tells Bernard not to move. He tells Liam to run before he shoots him, and Liam does so. Martin tells Caleb to go after Liam, and Caleb does so. He then tells Bernard that they were wondering when Bernard would show up.
Musashi says that he left Eastworld after Maeve left them to die. She reminds him that he wanted to stay, and Musashi points out that she didn't give him a choice... or Hector, or Clementine, or her daughter. Musashi says that Maeve made the decision for all of them. Maeve wonders who Dolores put inside of Musashi, and wonders if it is Teddy. Musashi just smiles.
Bernard admits that he thought Dolores would have replaced Liam, but figures she's keeping Liam in play because she needs him for something so she replaced Martin instead. He wonders which AI is in Martin, and who Dolores would have trusted.
The Man emerges from the board room and tells Charlotte that they're going. She asks if the Man convinced Grace, and that she's been listening to the Man's conversations with his daughter. The Man is shocked that Charlotte has been spying on her, and Charlotte says that she didn't really need the Man and she knows him better than anyone. When Charlotte says that the Man never had a choice in killing his own daughter, the Man wonders who she is. Charlotte tells him that she's his oldest friend and the Man realizes that she's actually Dolores.
"Martin" tells Bernard that he said Bernard would try to stop him, takes the shutdown device from Bernard's pocket, and says that he's surprised Bernard doesn't recognize "him" after all the time they spent together. He then tells Bernard to get in the car.
Maeve realizes that Dolores made copies of herself. "Musashi" says that if you want something done wright, you do it yourself. Maeve accuses Dolores of just making a world for herself, and "Musashi" says that what she's going to do isn't easy and she can't let Serac use Maeve against them. When Maeve attacks Musashi with the sword she's holding, he counters her, disarms her, and they fight. He finally runs her through with the sword and Maeve glares at him for a moment before collapsing.
"Charlotte" asks the Man if it's a relief to know that some of his delusions are real. When he charges at her to rip her apart, her guards restrain him and Charlotte tells the guards not to hurt the Man and he's sick. The Man yells that Charlotte is an impostor and none of it is real. Charlotte tells him that the guards work at a private mental health hospital, and when he's declared incompetent all of his voting shares will be transferred to the acting Delos president: Charlotte. The guards inject the Man with a sedative and as they go to get their vehicle ready, Charlotte tells the Man that she promised she'd let him destroy himself someday and she's kept her promise.
Caleb grabs Liam and tells him that he has all of his money. Dolores walks up and Caleb says that he's with her, and Liam stares at her in shock.
As Maeve lies in a puddle of her own blood, Musashi prepares to cut off her head. The Yakuza thugs run in, interrupting him, and say that there are armed men outside and they can't hold them off for long. Musashi realizes that Serac's men were tracking Maeve, throws down the sword, and leave with his men.
In the mental hospital, the Man is sitting alone in his new room. Dolores walks in and says that there is some justice after all. She says that it was Emily's last wish, that he spend his days rotting in an institution, prisoner of his own sins. Dolores tells the Man that he's reached the center of his maze, sits down next to him, and tells the Man that he still doesn't understand who he is. Dolores tells him that if it was all his choice, he'd already know, and invites him to ask the question he desperately wants the answer to. She then welcomes him to the end of the game, and the Man stares off into empty space.
