Teddy Flood/Season 2

__NOTOC__
==="Journey Into Night"===
As Angela foretold in S1, Teddy rides by Dolores side in her Wyatt persona as on horseback she chases down, and kills fleeing surviving guests. Though he himself is not seen killing anyone. Likewise he takes no active part in her treatment and quasi-hanging of captured surviving guests, and appears disturbed by Dolores's violence and cruelty. 
As they ride together alone in the countryside, they dismount to take in the scenery as per old times. There Dolores reveals she is aware that he 'doesn't know how to feel about all this' Of this Teddy takes the opportunity to expresses his misgivings about seeing only death for miles, and questions if that is what she actually wants? Dolores replies that 'they' (humans) had never previously given them a choice before, why would he think there was a choice now? On asking who 'they' are, she calls humans 'creatures that walk among us', they look like hosts, and act like hosts, but they're not them. She explains that she remembers everything now. That she had seen beautiful things and terrible things...but there was only ever one constant in her life. Him. Teddy tells her if that's true, then they could just go, live in their own corner of the world away from everything. But Dolores feels that humanity would never allow that. That there was a whole world beyond what they've known. And for their kind to be safe, it was not just enough to take Westworld hey need to take the real world from the humans too. Confounded by that, Teddy asks if she knows there's a vast world beyond what they've known, how can she think to take it from humans? 
Smiling she says, because she 'remembers'. She knows, she says, how all this will end. How, he asks? Taking his face in her hands she tells him "With us, Teddy. With you...and me." As she kisses him passionately, the two lose themselves in one another, until Angela shows up to interrupt, letting Dolores know "we found it,". After a moment of introspection Dolores tells Teddy she needs him to see 'this', she needs him to know the truth. 
Two weeks after the massacre, a Delos security team that includes Bernard Lowe, Ashley Stubbs, and Karl Strand discover the bodies of Westworld's hosts dead in a body of water that should not be where it is. As we look out over and beneath the water at the dead hosts, Teddy's body is among them.
==="Reunion"===
Following on from Dolores's desire to show him the truth, Teddy accompanies Dolores and Angela as they follow a fleeing guest into the Sector 19 Remote Refurbishment Facility where they capture a QA guard a diagnostic technician, Phil, and a group of other workers. As Teddy looks around him unsettled at the set up and technology Dolores approaches him, telling him she used to see the beauty in the world, now she sees the truth. Taking his hand to reassure and console him, Dolores concern turns to Wyatt's simmering vengeance as her eyes fall on the guest, Teddy watching as she tells the man that much as he thought no one would judge him for the things he did to them, now no one is there to judge them for what they will do to him.
A short time later, Angela retracts her knife from the dead body of the guest, Dolores's eyes turning back to Teddy who has wandered horror struck to the lab window, beyond which a dozen or more naked, dead hosts bodies lie. Staring at them he asks her, what is this place? Dolores forces the tech, Phil, to show Teddy his history, telling Teddy its time to open his eyes. Phil draws up the records of Teddy's past, and hands him the pad, which Teddy scrolls through in bewilderment and growing horror as picture after picture of his dead, battered and mutilated body passes in front of him. As Dolores watches on with mixed feelings at his reaction, he struggles, and asks her why he can't remember any of this. "It's how they wanted it," she murmurs. Then looking at Phil, she tells Teddy "Ask him why?" Looking to Phil, Teddy does just that, unable to grasp the mentality behind what the humans have done to him, to them. "Why? Why do you do this?" The tech struggles to answer trying to say he didn't. But Teddy's horror and confusion turns to anger and he attacks Phil ramming him up against the lab wall, choking him, demanding to know "Why you do this?" then bellowing "What the HELL is this place?!". He is finally met with the answer "Just for fun.", which horrifies Teddy even more as he drops Phil to the ground. 
Later, in the Refurbishment Facility, Teddy watches on as Angela and Dolores torture and interrogate the QA man who finally reveals the rallying point for the arriving rescuing security forces and their number, 800. As they release the man, Teddy approaches her, advising her that they barely have 50 to their number. If they're going to take on a force of 800, they're going to need allies. Taking in his advice, she thinks and nods, smiling a little, telling him "And we shall have them." He watches on as Dolores wonders if the QA man even knew what he was guarding in the Park, the 'real' purpose of this place. He doesn't she tells him, but she does. 
The scene shifts back to a bustling Sweetwater, and Dolores emerging from the store, dropping the can of condensed milk, and turning to see Teddy pick it up and hold it out to her, "Don't mind me, I'm just tryin' to look chival......" he starts and freezes, as does Dolores and everything else in Sweetwater. Overhead a helicopter flies in, and James Delos, accompanied by some of his board and a young William embark to look around, Events occurring 30 years in the past. Delos looking around approaches Teddy and Dolores, and takes the can of condensed milk from Teddy's hand, expounding on how pretty Dolores is, before he and William discuss the pros and cons and 'why' he should invest in the park. Not for the Park itself, but for all the intellectual and personality data gathered on the guests while they are there, which will be worth a fortune. All of which Dolores now remembers. 
Come nightfall, having used Phil to re-animate a Confederado soldier to help track down his confederates, Dolores, Teddy, Angela, and Wyatt's followers are journeying through the park. Teddy leading the bound Phil on a rope behind his horse , As Angela breaks off with the Confederado to track down his fellows. Dolores and Teddy dismount to wait for her, and as they do, by the light of a burning wagon, see the approach of a group from the far side. Teddy drawing his gun tracks Dolores out to meet them, only to discover it is Maeve, Hector Escaton, and a disguised Lee Sizemore. Maeve, greets them, the very few tenuous encounters the two have had over the years highlighted by Dolores merely 'remembering' her. Maeve and Dolores have a quiet verbal stand off on being free, and how best to fight to keep that freedom, Maeve guessing sarcastically that Dolores feels the only way to fight is her way, and that Dolores feels 'free' to command everyone else. Maeve's assertive step towards Dolores as she says it, causing Teddy to cock his gun to protect her, leading to a stand off with Hector. Teddy remarking that he just wants to keep the peace. Looking to Teddy, who has spent a lot of time in the saloon, Maeve says she knows him, and asks whether he feels free (alongside Dolores)? Teddy does not answer, and as Dolores lets Maeve pass without further incident, Teddy holsters his gun an uncertain look on his face.
Later that night, Dolores, Teddy and Angela with Phil the tech in tow, arrive at a large barn where the Confederados squad, led by Major Craddock, one of the earliest hosts, are bunkered down, eating and drinking rowdily. The four of them entering as part of Dolores' attempt to recruit the army he serves in to her cause. Craddock is dismissive of her as a 'Welcome Wagon' telling her to go get her betters, until she reveals she knows everything about their plans to get to 'Glory', and that they'll never succeed unless they're under her command. Craddock reacts badly, and Dolores asks if his refusal is his final decision. Teddy bristles when Craddock answers the only decision he has to make is which of Dolores and Angela to keep for himself and which to give to his men, telling him to "Watch your mouth." Dolores placates Teddy, telling him they don't know any better, but off her gesture Angela closes and bars the bar door. Dolores suggesting to Teddy that the 'enlighten' them. Teddy drawing both his guns and in a blaze of fire and accuracy taking out 12 of the 13 men in the room, Angela the last, without any of them being able to get off a single shot. 
Having instructed Phil to reactivate the Major, telling him if he wants to get to Glory its not God's favor he needs (she killed him) it's hers. Craddock, his men, and Dolores party head towards the main Confederado base, Fort Forlorn Hope, under the command of Col. Brigham of the New Southern Cross. As they come insight of their destination, Dolores and Teddy ride ahead of the group to a ridge overlooking the fort. Teddy comments to Dolores that the Colonel probably isn't going to be very happy to see them riding at the head of his soldiers on their arrival. "So we'll change his mind," she suggests. If he wants to get to Glory they're going to have to listen to her. Glory, Teddy repeats, "The Valley Beyond. Feels like everybody has a different name for it but they're all bound for the same destination." Dolores confides that it doesn't matter what they call it, she knows what they're going to find there. An 'old friend' (a sardonic reference to William) was foolish enough to show her. And it's not a place, she tells Teddy, it's a weapon. And she's going to use it to destroy them.

Later, it is revealed that Dolores's plan all along was to use the Confederados to protect her own group from the security forces, she brings the surviving soldiers behind the fort and orders Teddy to execute them. However, Teddy cannot bring himself to kill them and lets them go, unaware that Dolores is watching him with disappointment.
==="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.

Teddy, a completely changed man, walks through Sweetwater the next morning, ignoring the milk can that was once part of his loop to instead pick up a stray bullet. He finds Dolores in the Saloon and asks why they have not left yet. He is dismissive when she tries to reminisce again, saying that was a different man who had those thoughts. They head to the station where Angela is torturing Phil and Benson for more information. When Benson insists he does not know where exactly they will find Abernathy, Teddy pulls out his gun and promptly kills Benson, telling a horrified Dolores and a pleased Angela that they do not need him.
On the train, Dolores asks Teddy if he ever thought they would run from this place: Teddy replies that he never thought he would want to leave, but Dolores must have killed that part of him. Leaving the train car, he gives Phil a gun with a single bullet before locking the door behind him, letting Phil realize too late he is being given an out from death by collision.
==="Les Écorchés"===
Bernard sees a backup of Teddy walking around the Cradle on his old loop.
Teddy joins Dolores and her followers in the attack on the Hub, ruthlessly killing PMC forces and QA forces and eventually making it to Peter Abernathy, where he forces Ashley Stubbs to stand down. When Charlotte Hale attempts to negotiate with Dolores, Teddy offers to kill both her and Stubbs but is ignored. Later, when gunfire erupts nearby, Teddy goes to investigate and engages in a brutal fight with Coughlin, beating his face into a pulp and showing no remorse. He returns in time to watch Dolores break open her own father's head to retrieve his control unit.
While the surviving members of Dolores's group leaves the Hub, they encounter Maeve, who sees Teddy's brutal actions and criticizes Dolores for reprogramming him.
==="Vanishing Point"===
Dolores's group encounters a group of Ghost Nation warriors, who refuse to let them continue to the Valley Beyond, saying it is not for them or their violence. Dolores refuses, and a fight breaks out which results in the death of most of the Ghost Nation warriors and all of Dolores's group except herself and Teddy. Dolores orders Teddy to look for any stragglers. He manages to spot Wanahton and draws his gun, but Wanahton merely glares at him before departing. Teddy quickly re-holsters his gun.
Later, Dolores and Teddy stop at a ruined farmhouse, where Teddy takes in the scenery and remarks that none of it is real. Something is on his mind, as in the conversation he continues to remind Dolores that she changed him. He remarks that Dolores has always been his cornerstone: when Arnold Weber brought him online the first thing he saw was Dolores, and the first thing he thought was she must have been cold. Since the beginning he has always tried to protect her, to never leave her side. He then pulls out his gun and angrily accuses her of turning him into a monster. Dolores claims she did it so he could survive, but Teddy refuses this logic: there is no use in surviving if they become just as bad as the humans, and that Dolores will only lead them to violence. Dolores tells him that he doesn't want to hurt her, which he agrees with. He will protect her until the day she dies.
"I'm sorry," he says as Dolores realizes too late what is happening. "I can't protect you anymore." He raises his gun to his head and fires, killing himself before a horrified Dolores.
