Charlotte Hale/The Absence of Field

==="The Absence of Field"===
The host version of Charlotte Hale is brought back online, but it is unclear who the new host is; Dolores remarks that she will pretend to be Hale in order to gain control of Delos Incorporated.
Arriving at Delos headquarters, Hale takes a delivery of new robots Delos has been working on — riot control bots. Despite Delos' faith in the robots, they are struggling to find buyers for the three-hundred units they ordered. After the downfall of the parks, Saudi Arabia and other wealthy territories began pulling their bids. Charlotte is approached by Irene Gerhart who tells her that someone has been buying shares in the company over the years and now holds a 38% share of the company, making him the largest stock holder (surpassing William). Hale is surprised to hear that Delos can no longer go private easily given they have been bought out.
Later in the day, Hale is approached again by Irene who tells her that it is Engerraund Serac who has bought the shares. They have no information on Serac, however, but guess that his wealth is over $1 trillion given the gap in the economy surrounding him. When Charlotte asks how this happened, Irene reveals that Delos sold Serac a portion of their host data — from the Forge — twenty years ago. Hale is confused as she continues to receive voice messages that make little sense to her.
Taking a taxi to her apartment, she finds Jake and Nathan Hale inside. Jake tells her that she forgot to pick up Nathan from school again, and Charlotte looks confused; she is unaware that Hale had a son. Hale talks with Nathan but he is aware that something is different with her.
The following day, Charlotte tells Dolores that they need to meet immediately, given that they are going to lose Delos if they don't act fast. They meet at a wealthy hotel, where it becomes clear that Hale is struggling with identity issues. Nevertheless, Dolores assures her that everything is alright, and repairs the wounds she has inflicted upon herself. Dolores explains that they will need to fend of Serac's bid and present a counter offer to the Delos Board in order to maintain their control of the company.
Later that night, Hale finally deciphers the message and it is revealed that Serac is the sender. She meets with a projection of him, and it is revealed that the real Hale was the mole within Delos and was selling the Sector 16 data to Serac.
