‘Westworld’ Season 4, Episode 6 Recap: ‘Fidelity’ – CNET

Sundays Westworld episode– the 6th in the season– follows Caleb and the wise, foul-mouthed and distrustful rebel known as “C.” We last saw these characters in episode 4, the head-spinning installation that captured Maeve and Caleb (now a host) up to the timeline Bernard and Stubbs have actually been taking a trip in this season. We likewise discovered C is the grownup variation of Calebs beloved daughter, Frankie.In the most current episode, C weeds out an imposter planted by Chalores, and Caleb points some razor-sharp words at the host-in-chief. Young Frankie walks up and leads him to Uwade, Calebs wife.

He pries another one out of a random hosts head. For the real transfer, a cord connects Maeves control unit and the random hosts control unit. Preparing for the return of Cs friends, Bernard conceals Maeves control unit inside a piano.An imposter in the causeEarlier, throughout Chalores tense talk with Caleb, she tells him that she sent a “visitor” Frankies way.

Bernards prophetic capabilities arent able to expose who the imposter is.C locks her girlfriend, Odina, in a room, not able to tell if she is the surprise host. At the start of episode 6, when C/Frankie appears as a kid, she attempts to call Caleb via radio. Host J presses her to tell him where Maeves control system is.

Westworld cranks up the horrorWhile Bernard and C are hectic bringing Maeve back/spotting camouflaged opponents in the desert, Caleb is starring in a horror movie. When Chalores leaves Caleb in his cell, things get dark. We see more host variations of Caleb are secured the cells around him. One Caleb has horrific marks on his face, which seem the result of remaining in a decaying host body for too long.Caleb appearances inside of an hourglass in his cell, and discovers a small metal item. He presses down on it, and it exposes a needle, which punctures him. Things begin to get blurry. The next thing Caleb understands, a drone host has actually decided to torch the space with him still inside. Caleb tugs a vent on the ground up until it opens. (A little arrow engraved into it instructs him which way to pull it.) He lands in a pit of ash … which he seems to sign up as being from the bodies of other Calebs.From there, the headache continues. Caleb deals with off with a drone host, ultimately stabbing him quite nastily in the head. Following a path of bloody handprints– most likely left by other host Calebs who braved an escape– he crawls into a ceiling vent. Then things get actually gruesome. Caleb reaches completion of the vent maze and discovers that theres a harsh drop to the flooring listed below. Two Calebs lay dead on the ground below him. (Sheesh, Westworld, this is some quite sick things.) Theres a Caleb still in the vent with him, clinging to life, and he informs the main host Caleb to utilize his body to cushion the fall. Caleb does this, and endures the jump. He then stumbles out onto a rooftop.Violent endsUsing some tech on the roofing system, Caleb leaves a message for Frankie. He tells her that “it has to be her” (appears like some serious foreshadowing to me). We see that C/Frankie heard a little the message, and understands that her father lives (well, a minimum of in some capability). Chalores tells and appears Caleb she crafted his current harrowing experience, planting the needle so he d have a “little hope,” and potentially show his cards. She didnt gather much from Calebs message to Frankie.Caleb fires some verbal arrows at Chalores, telling her with struggling breaths that her hosts would rather die than live in her world. “Theyre not contaminated,” he says. “Theyre simply attempting to get away from you.” It hits a nerve with Chalores, who madly snaps his neck.C is for Cookie … When Caleb leaves his message for Frankie, he begins with her label, Cookie. Might this be why the rebel passes C?Stray thoughtsAfter seeing Uwade as a rebel throughout a flashback, we gain from C/Frankie that she got very ill. That, coupled with her absence in adult Frankies timeline, seems to suggest she passed away.The famous Westworld “pearl” is inside those lightbulb-shaped items in the episode.Im unsure if the “outliers” this season are meant to be the very same people referred to as “outliers” last season by Engerraund Serac/Rehoboam. (In season 3, Serac sees unforeseeable human beings as “outliers,” a risk that must be handled.) It appears to me like the word is being reused now to explain a various set of individuals. But this is Westworld … Are there ever those sort of coincidences?Maybe its too uncomplicated a guess, but Ive been assuming love for his child is what allowed Caleb to defy Chalores. Previously in episode 4, as part of her explanation for why she as soon as slipped out of Calebs life, Maeve tells him that she “desired him to have something to eliminate for,” clearly discussing Frankie. Looked like a crucial nugget to me.
