Dolores Abernathy/The Well-Tempered Clavier

==== "The Well-Tempered Clavier" ====
Dolores and William are held captive in the Confederado camp, with William tied to a chair and gagged. Logan removes the gag and William asks him to help get Dolores out of the park, because she is different from the rest of the Hosts. Logan scoffs at this, saying William probably isn't the first to fall in love with a Host and delude himself into thinking they're real. He chides William for forgetting about his fiancée, and decides to show him the truth.
Logan grabs Dolores while William protests and she screams and stabs her in the stomach, opening her abdomen to show William her mechanical insides. Dolores sees the mechanics and is shocked. She falls to the ground, and Logan stands over her. She says to Logan, "There is beauty in this world. Arnold made it that way. But people like you keep spreading it like a stain". He laughs and says that the park was made for him and people like him. She grabs a knife and slashes him across the face, then finds a gun and shoots a few Confederados. William tells her to run, and that he will find her.
As Dolores runs away from the camp she stumbles, overcome with the pain of the gaping hole in her abdomen. She hears Arnold's voice telling her to "remember." Then, Dolores stands up. However, this Dolores is not injured and is she is not being pursued.
Dolores returns to Escalante. This time the town is not buried, and everything looks brand new. As she enters the church, her clothing changes into the blue dress, and she experiences a memory in which the church was filled with malfunctioning hosts speaking feverishly to themselves. Both in the present and in her memory she walks down the aisle to the confessional, and steps inside. She sits down in the confessional and the chair descends to a Remote Diagnostic Facility. In this memory, the windows on the elevator have dried blood on them, and she has to force the doors of the elevator open to get out. The corridor is filled with dead bodies, and some of the rooms also contain dead bodies and dried blood on the windows. The lights flicker.
In a memory Dolores walks down a corridor and peers through windows into rooms. She sees Hosts playing cards in one of the rooms, and Peter Abernathy reciting lines of Shakespeare. She sees a young Robert Ford exit a room, and walk down the hallway past her while he calls out to Arnold. Ford is head to complain to Arnold that Arnold is "not seeing with clear eyes". She walks past Arnold's office door, and it is revealed that Arnold's surname is "Weber".
Both in a memory (in her blue dress) and the 'present' (slacks and blouse) Dolores opens a door and walks down a flight of stairs and into a glass-walled interview room like in the RDF in sector 17. She sits, and in the memory Arnold arrives and also sits. Dolores is happy to see him, almost in tears, and Bernard notes happily that she came back. She tells him she's been looking for him, because he told her to follow The Maze, saying it would bring her joy, but all it's brought her is pain and terror. Arnold tells her he can't help her, and Dolores, close to tears, tells him that he's the only one who can.
Arnold says that she knows why he can't help her, and touches her face to comfort her. He tells her to remember why he can't help her. She looks at him confused, before saying, "because you're dead...because you're just a memory...because I killed you."
Dolores returns to the present day, still sitting in the chair, and looks at the empty chair in front of her. It has undisturbed cobwebs on it. She cries.
After Dolores rides the elevator back up into the church and steps out the confessional, she hears footsteps, and happily whispers "William". As she walks towards to entrance, the doors open and the Man in Black says, "Hello, Dolores." Dolores looks horrified, and takes a few steps backward.
