Westworld Episode 2 Summary: "The Winter
Line"
Bernard returns to Westworld and discovers the
Ashley host is still functioning. With Ashley's help, they find the
Maeve host, but it is lacking its "pearl" and that it is no longer
in the park. Bernard uses the systems there to verify that Dolores
had not contaminated his code, and discovers Dolores targeted
several prior park guests including Liam. He reprograms Ashley to
help protect him as they return to the mainland. Maeve is rescued
from Warworld by Hector but realizes this is another narrative and
kills herself to come to in Operations, discovering Lee is alive
and wants to help get her to the Forge. However, Maeve soon
realizes that this is all a virtual simulation, and after testing
its bounds, is able to break her pearl free from its real-world
location, but guards stop the attempt. She wakes in a real-world
host body and meets Serac, who, after initially thinking she was
the major disruption on the system he built, wants her help to stop
Dolores.
