Warning: Full spoilers for the episode below.
Interestingly, if I’m recalling correctly, this was the first episode of Westworld that didn’t begin with a close-up of Dolores – but that certainly didn’t indicate nothing of note was occurring with her this episode, as Westworld’s original Host was rapidly evolving in exciting (though, of course, potentially dangerous) ways.
Seeing her shoot and kill all those men coming for her and William was thrilling, no doubt – and there’s a wonderful feeling of empowerment hearing her say, “I imagined a story where I didn’t have to be the damsel,” explaining how she actively was able to make the choice to subvert her programming and intended purpose. Of course, underneath this is the question of what this means for Westworld as a whole and if all of the Hosts could do the same – and if so, the danger they could pose if Dolores or the others were to suddenly be able to kill guests, not only other Hosts. But for now, as far as Dolores’ specific journey, this is a huge new turn that – happening at the halfway point of the season – seems to be leading towards an even bigger transformation. The excellent “Contrapasso” also paralleled Dolores’ evolution with William’s, as both of them drew blood here in particularly efficient, ruthless ways – all while becoming more bonded to one another.
