Teddy Flood/Akane No Mai

==="Akane No Mai"===
Dolores's group arrives in Sweetwater. They stop in the Mariposa Saloon, where Teddy is briefly flirted with by the malfunctioning New Clementine host. He can only tip his hat to her when the group leaves. He and Dolores head to where they used to watch the Abernathy herd. They reflect on the life they had planned, and Teddy insists that they could still have that life if they wanted, but Dolores refuses. She tells a story of how the family almost lost the herd to bluetongue one year, with flies carrying the disease to every cow. She asks Teddy how he would have treated it: Teddy reasons that he would have housed the weak and infected in a barn until the sickness passed. Dolores replies that her father actually burned the sick cows, which was enough to scare away the flies.
Some time later, Angela reports that Peter Abernathy is in the Hub after interrogating Benson: Dolores makes plans to head there before bringing Teddy to a room in a hotel. Teddy tells her that he would still stand by her if she only disappointed him in the life he would want, and the two spend the night together. When he wakes up, Dolores brings him into a store in Sweetwater, and explains that she has been thinking about their feelings for each other, and admits that their love, though programmed, is real. However, she declares that she knows Teddy will not make it. A struggling Teddy is restrained by Wyatt's followers as Phil the technician puts Teddy through a reset to turn him into the kind of person Dolores thinks will survive.
