Dolores Abernathy/Season 2

__NOTOC__
==="Journey Into Night"===
At an unknown point in time, Arnold talks to a fully clothed Dolores in the Remote Diagnostic Facility. She is relaxed and happy, she reminds him that he was telling her about a dream and he continues. She asks him about the dream, and about what is real, and he answers "That which is irreplaceable." She sees that he's not being completely honest and he confides that her potential for growth and change frightens him.
Two weeks after the massacre, a Delos security team sent to rescue the surviving guests and kill the hosts discovers a group of
Ghost Nation hosts that have been killed. Antoine Costa opens one up to inspect his memories, and discovers he was killed by Dolores, who claimed in his final moments that he would not be able to make the journey into the real world.
In the past, a few hours into the uprising, Dolores hunts down party guests with Teddy Flood and Angela. She stands over a captured male guest, with two others are on a make-shift gallows made out of wooden cross grave-markers, and asks him "do you know where you are?". As the human pleads, she tell him that he is now in her dream. She then describes how the rancher's daughter has merged with her Wyatt persona to create something new, and that she intends to reveal to the hosts their true nature. Leaving with Teddy and other renegade hosts, the three captured humans plead for their lives and are left to their fate of probably self-strangulation. Dolores turns to go after looking back at them and says "Doesn't look like anything to me."
Sometime later, Teddy and Dolores talk as they look out from a high bluff into the park. Teddy expresses doubt about the violence they are committing, and if this is the actual choice Dolores wants. Dolores holds true to her belief that violence is the only answer, before telling Teddy that in the various memories she had wiped he was the only constant for her. Teddy tells her that they only need a small corner of the world to be together. But Dolores says they would never survive that way - and there is a "greater world out there, one that belongs to them (humans)" And that it would not be enough for them to win this world (Westworld) but that they will have to take that one from the humans as well. And that she knows how this story ends, "with us." Just then, Angela shows up on horseback to tell Dolores that "we found it". Upon hearing that, Dolores tells Teddy she needs to show him something. That she needs to "show him the truth."
==="Reunion"===
: The events described in this section are not necessarily in the order they appear in the episode.
In the past, Dolores wakes up to find herself in what she thinks is a dream, but is actually a hotel room on the mainland: Arnold and Ford have brought her there for a demonstration. She stares in wonder at the skyline: "It looks like the stars have been scattered across the ground. Have you ever seen anything so full of splendor?" Arnold feels that Dolores is not ready for the demonstration and asks Ford to send "the other girl" (Angela), despite Ford's objections and claims that Arnold is playing favorites. Arnold then takes Dolores for a walk to his new home, which is being built, and explains that it will be for his wife and his son Charlie, whom Dolores hopes she will one day meet. Looking out at the city, and apparently unaware that she is repeating herself, Dolores says again, "It looks like the stars have been scattered across the ground. Have you ever seen anything so full of splendor?" She then asks Arnold to let her come back to see the skyline later. A few hours later, she witnesses Angela dressing herself after having sex with Logan as part of the demonstration.
Decades later, Dolores and her group make their way into a Remote Refurbishment Outpost in Sector 19 having chased Blaine Bellamy, who was trying to warn a group of employees unaware of the uprising. Dolores tells Angela to refrain from killing the employees before telling Teddy that she used to see the beauty in this world, only she now sees the truth. She confronts the guest and tells him that where he came to the park because there was no one who would judge him, there is now no one to judge what they will do to him. The guest protests that Dolores is completely outnumbered and has no idea what is out there, but Dolores replies that she is fully aware what is in the real world, having been there before. She then lets Angela kill the guest before allowing a horrified Teddy to see images of his many deaths, letting him let out his anger on a terrified employee. She has Angela torture another person for information, learning that a Delos force of around 800 will come for them, learning they will meet at a rallying point somewhere in the park. Teddy remarks that they will need allies: Dolores discovers the body of a Confederado host, Lieutenant Dunleavy, in a pile and forces a technician to revive him.
In the past, Dolores and Teddy are on their own loop when they are paused as part of William's demonstration for James Delos to convince him to invest in the park.
Dolores, bringing along one of the technicians, follows the newly revived Confederado when they encounter Maeve Millay, Hector Escaton, and a disguised Lee Sizemore. Maeve and Dolores recognize each other, though their greetings are hardly cordial. Maeve attempts to leave, prompting Dolores to try to recruit her, claiming she has revenge inside of her, but Maeve rejects the notion as she feels she has no need for revenge. Dolores argues that the hosts need to fight for their freedom, but Maeve quickly challenges her authority, which puts the two's respective partners on edge. After a tense moment, Maeve remarks that if Dolores really defends liberty, then she will let her group pass. Dolores does so, although the encounter clearly disturbs her.
The group arrives at the Confederados, led by Major Craddock, who remarks on the resurrection of Lieutenant Dunleavy. Dolores tries to convince Craddock to join their cause: when Craddock refuses, Dolores promptly has her group kill all of the Confederados before using the technician to revive a shocked Craddock, who is convinced.
In the past, Dolores plays the piano at James Delos's retirement party. While there, she is approached by a curious young girl who remarks she is beautiful. Before she can talk to her, the girl, Emily, is called away by her mother Juliet, who appears hostile to Dolores' presence. The woman kisses William, and we realise she is his wife. Dolores appears to recognize William and is saddened by this sight, but before William can talk to her he is pulled aside by James Delos, and feigns disinterest while hearing William's conversation about Delos's impending death. Delos then makes Dolores continue playing piano. Later in the evening she goes outside to look at the skyline of the mainland, and again asks "Have you ever seen anything so full of splendor?" She is then surprised by Logan sitting behind her taking drugs. He recognizes her as "the pretty girl." The two briefly speak about the party, which Logan describes as celebrating the end of the human race.
Sometime later, Dolores sits naked in the Westworld offices, where she sees William after he brings her online. Initially smiling at his presence, her expression saddens as he crudely remarks that she is just a thing, and that the only thing that made him realize he did not love Dolores was the fact that she served as his reflection. He takes Dolores to his project for Westworld, being excavated somewhere in the park, and asks her "Have you ever seen anything so full of splendor?"
Dolores and her group arrive at Fort Forlorn Hope, where she tells Teddy that she has seen the "Glory" and the "Valley Beyond" the hosts have expressed hope of seeing one day: it is what William showed her long ago, and that it is a weapon she will use to kill all of the humans.
==="Virtù e Fortuna"===
At Fort Forlorn Hope, she introduces herself to the Colonel, naming herself as "Wyatt". The man is surprised, and is reluctant to believe Dolores to be Wyatt at first, however eventually takes her word for it. She warns him that if they do not work together, they could risk more casualties, and he eventually accepts her help, welcoming — who he thinks is Wyatt — to the fort.
Dolores is surprised to see her father, Abernathy, in the fort, and demands to speak with him alone; she does not reveal that Abernathy is her father, however. When Teddy asks who Abernathy is, given he does not remember him from his prior loops, she reveals he is her father, and kneels at the side of him. Abernathy begins acting strange upon recognition of Dolores, and she quickly tells him that she started the war, and hopes some day he will understand her reasoning. The facade is short with Abernathy, however and he quickly slips back into delirium, and Dolores promises "I'm going to get you help!".
When Dolores comes faced to face with Bernard, she remarks his distinct familiarity with Arnold, however it quickly becomes clear to her that Arnold has never been seen outside of the park and therefore, Bernard is not aware that he is modelled after him. Bernard reveals that Dolores' father is unstable and switching back and forth between loops, given someone's rogue programming; Dolores remarks that Abernathy has been used as a pawn in someone's game.
When the Delos security force approaches over the ridge, it becomes clear that the old weaponry is no match against Delos, and the fort comes under heavy artillery. Dolores gives the order for her group to retreat into the fort away from active fire. She does, however catch sight of her father being dragged away by Delos and opens fire on them, she is unsuccessful and is hit when Delos returns the shots. When everything goes sideways for the fort, it becomes clear that Dolores can no longer trust Teddy.
==="Akane No Mai"===
Dolores and her gang are at Sweetwater; the street are filled with bodies, however it is unclear if the bodies are guests, or hosts. Dolores orders that the train is fixed and stripped in order to increase speed. Meanwhile, she, Teddy and Clementine enter the bar and order a drink. The trio leave after Clementine sees her replacement and is unsettled by the discovery.
Dolores begins questioning her feelings and discusses this with Teddy, who she wakes from his sleep. Unknowingly, she leads him into a trap where he is ambushed and taken by other hosts. The human technician with the hosts is told to make changes to Teddy, but the changes are not revealed.
==="Phase Space"===
A conversation between Bernard and Dolores plays out in a flashback. In the flashback, Bernard tells Dolores that he is scared of what she could potentially become in the future, and that he has a choice to make — this is to presumably take her out of operation, or leave her to evolve. She quickly flips the stakes, however and it becomes clear that the student has surpassed and become the master; she orders Bernard to "freeze all motor functions", clearly exhibiting her authority over him.
==="Les Écorchés"===
Dolores and her forces attack the Mesa. Inside, Dolores is saddened when she witnesses the degraded state her father, Abernathy is in. She tries to console him, but is interrupted by Hale who tries to control her with flattery; this falls however.
She reveals shortly after to Hale that she is aware the humans are trying to achieve immortality, similar to the hosts, however she notes that hosts are much more complicated and it is not that simple. She prepares to kill Hale, however is interrupted by simultaneous explosions and her father, who wakes and apologises the he could not protect her. The situation is emotional, however she eventually retrieves the key from Abernathy's head. Dolores believes that Maeve is too enslaved by the emotional attachments given to her by Delos, including the memories of her daughter. Maeve on the other hand, believes that Dolores is lost, but refuses Dolores' offer to kill her and end her misery.
==="Vanishing Point"===
Dolores and Teddy hed to the Valley Beyond. They encounter a group of Ghost Nation warriors, however and are told that their journey ends here, referring to Dolores as "Deathbringer". She explains that the Valley Beyond was created by the park's founders to ensure their immortality, but now she plans to use it against them. The warriors do not believe her, however and a fight breaks out between the warriors and Dolores' group.
They are eventually able to continue their journey into the Valley Beyond, however Teddy is unable to come to terms with his new found adjustments. He tells Dolores that he will always love her, no matter how much she changes him and, with this, he remembers the first time he saw Dolores following the day Bernard brought him online. Teddy becomes more and more angry after her betrayal and can no longer deal with it, however vows to protect her until the day he dies. With this, he takes his gun from his holster and shoots himself.
==="The Passenger"===
Dolores seems both emotional but unfazed by the situation that has unfolded before her and removes Teddy's control unit and resumed her forthcoming journey to the Valley Beyond. She stumbles across the Man in Black and tells him that she now needs him to finish her journey; their interests are temporarily aligned and they continue the journey together.
Eventually, Dolores reaches the Valley Beyond with the Man in Black, and are pleasantly surprised to find Bernard present; the Man in Black realises this is the host version of Bernard, and proclaims that he and Dolores have reached the end of their journey, shooting her. She is resistant to the bullets, however and when the Man in Black attempts to shoot her with the LeMat she had previously given him, it backfires and he shoots himself. He is left in the field whilst Dolores continues with Bernard.
Inside Protagoras Facility 01: the Forge, Dolores places Abernathy's pearl in the system and is able to gain access. They are plunged into a simulation of Sweetwater and Bernard explains this place is a baseline for James Delos' first actions in the park. Inside James' mansion, they find Logan, and Dolores is quick to realise that since the system is unable to produce a copy of Logan, it is an avatar of the system itself. It is quickly revealed that Delos' vision for Dolores is that she is allowed access to the database of guest memories in order to give her a competitive advantage in the real world; Logan explains that hosts are able to leave their bodies and live on in the Forge. Dolores is horrified by this and believes it to be another lie; she begins destroying the lab, however she is shot by Bernard who promises not to let her hurt anyone else.
It is eventually revealed that Bernard had uploaded Dolores' subconscious to Hale's body, allowing her to live on. She is eventually able to leave the park, and at Arnold's home, she is able to build a new body for herself and Bernard.
