Maeve Millay/The Adversary

===The Adversary===
However, Felix was capable of deactivating Maeve before anything could progress and sent her back into the Westworld Park. Maeve wakes up in her bed, just as Dolores does on her continuous loop. Maeve dresses and goes to work in the Mariposa Saloon, ignoring the gunshot and death scene happening all around her on the street. Clem greets her, yawning. Maeve scolds her for opening her mouth so wide when she's not getting paid for it. A guest comes into the bar and the women watch him. Clem starts to go towards him but Maeve stops her, and takes him upstairs herself.
Once she has him in the room she insults and goads him into killing her by strangulation, as he has sex with her. This seems to be completely intentional on her part, she puts his hand on her neck and encourages him. She wakes on the gurney in Livestock Management being looked after by Felix Lutz. She smiles as she wakes, knowing she made it back to the lab, where she intended to be.
Maeve sits on the edge of the table, listening to Felix Lutz, he's convincing her that she is designed and built, that her every response is programmed. He tells her that he is human, like the guests and she asks "How do you know?", surprising him. She examines him, he tells her that hosts and humans are largely the same, flesh and blood he means, except for the superior processing power in a host's brain. He demonstrates by showing her a display of the algorithm that helps her hold a conversation.
She has such difficulty processing this data, that when he does eventually convince her, she freezes for a while, panicking Felix. He tries to restart her, with increasing panic when nothing he does seems to work. When she does restart, she seems unaware that she has recovered from a problem, she wants to go upstairs and convinces him.
He takes her on a tour, she sees the rest of Livestock Management, with damaged hosts dumped naked in a room to be hosed down. He takes her through Manufacturing and she sees hosts, human and animal, being built. She watches as a male host's circulatory system is activated, and sees the blood pumping into his body. They continue up the stairs and see more of manufacturing plus the Behavior Lab and Diagnostics, she doesn't comment except to asks where they are when they get to Design. 
She watches a sculptor create a new face and head, fascinated by the artist, and by what it implies. Felix really wants to go back, as he's scared he'll lose his job. Maeve watches the "Welcome to Westworld" presentation which is narrated by Angela before she gets into the lift with Felix. She sees herself and the little girl, recognizing the memory or flashback somewhat.
Back in Felix's room in Livestock Management, Maeve is upset and asks Felix about the presentation. He explains, about builds, reassignments. He explains the little girl was in her old narrative, that she hasn't been in the saloon over 10 years, but only for 1 year. Sylvester appears and starts to torment Felix. Maeve ignores him until he starts to leave and says that he will report Felix. Maeve stops Sylvester, threatening him with a scalpel against his throat. She shocks him by knowing his name, and blackmails him.
Maeve persuades Felix and Sylvester to upgrading her stats. As they're doing so, Felix sees that someone else has already been updating them and Sylvester immediately wants to back out. Maeve advises him not to start something he's not prepared to finish - and he backs down.
Finally, Maeve asks Felix to increase her general intelligence, "all the way to the top". Felix does, and Maeve is visibly pleased with the results, telling them both that the three of them will be having some fun. MThe Adversary
