"Kiksuya" ranks among the easiest Westworld episodes to follow and the most emotionally powerful. But that doesn't mean it wasn't without mysteries to unpack.

How did Maeve communicate with Akecheta from across the park? What did she say? And what was the meaning when you dive a level deeper? 

How much did Ford help Akecheta in his journey, and what are the different paths to consciousness? 

We also examine Logan's role in Akecheta's discovery of The Door and learn how to pronounce Akecheta's name ... which Big D promptly forgets.
