Timelines confirmed.
So Maeve sacrificed herself in an attempted to save Caleb.
Unfortunately, it didn’t work.
Hale’s team killed Caleb.
Twenty three years later, Hale has won.
She is in control of New York City and possibly even the world.
Hale has also recreated Caleb for the 278th time.
Meanwhile, the new girl was both subtitled and referred to as C, but it’s pretty clear
that C is Future Frankie.
Caleb’s daughter.
So let’s assume that Bernard and Future Frankie are also exactly twenty three years
into the future.
If so, that raises a few questions.
First off, Jay went off to extract an outlier.
Who is that outlier?
My first instinct was Caleb, but I double checked and Jay said she.
So they are going somewhere to extract a female outlier.
Since Christina drew the Tower, maybe it is her.
Another option is her roommate since Maya has been having nightmares.
Second question: why is Caleb so important to Hale?
In the past, I would have assumed that Hale wanted to leverage Caleb against Christina
in some way shape or form.
But another option is his daughter.
Future Frankie.
The next two questions relate to Maeve.
How is Maeve a weapon?
The obvious answer is that she has special abilities.
But is that too obvious?
Bernard speaks very cryptically this season.
So there’s a chance that Bernard is thinking of Maeve as a weapon in a more abstract sense
of the term.
As an example, Bernard may have to leverage Maeve in terms of her prior relationships
with Caleb, Christina, Clementine, the Man in Black, or even Hale.
Speaking of Hale: why did she leave Maeve out in the desert for twenty three years?
That was a dumb thing to do.
And Hale isn’t dumb.
I have an idea.
It’s a stretch, but bear with me.
Maeve blew up the glass, and the Man in Black passed out for a little bit.
Meanwhile, Maeve drove off to the new construction site.
But when she got there, the Man in Black was already there.
It was almost as if he had known where she was going to go.
In other words, it was almost as if Hale had known where she was going to go.
It is possible that Hale ran simulations on one of the older versions of Rehoboam before
Maeve and Caleb were able to destroy it?
If so, then we might be looking at a showdown between Bernard and Hale, both of whom have
run simulations.
Now, let’s talk about Christina.
Or Chrissie.
On back of episode 1, I had thought that she was in a simulation.
But episode 2 put that idea to rest.
At least, it did for me.
Last week, I was shocked to find out that some of you still thought that she was in
a simulation.
Please let me know in the comment section.
Are we done with that now?
Or do you still think that Christina might be in a simulation?
For the sake of this video, I am going to assume that Christina is the real world.
Her roommate, Maya, mentioned nightmares in episode 1.
In this episode, she expanded on that.
Maya said that her nightmare was about a picnic with her parents.
Flies were everywhere.
Her parents went still.
Then, the flies came for her, and she woke up.
That tells us a few things.
First off, the timeline.
Since Maya was presumably infected by flies as a child, Christina and Maya appear to be
in the future.
If so, things are about to get interesting.
Christina is a writer at Olympiad Entertainment, and Caleb is a patient at Olympiad Entertainment.
So they may run into each other.
And if they do, Caleb may look at Christina and expect her to recognize him just like
William once did with Dolores.
Also, as a reminder, Caleb and William had the same identification number in the reconditioning
program, and we still don’t know if there’s something there or if that was a production
mistake.
But, let’s keep going.
So Maya was infected as a child, and now she is a young adult.
Since the virus has evolved with her as she’s grown up, Maya is very much under Hale’s
control.
So she seems nice, but she’s probably just a puppet.
Therefore, she cannot be trusted.
Since Maya tried to set up Christina with Teddy, that unfortunately implies that Teddy
also cannot be trusted.
As a reminder, the last time that we saw him, Teddy was in the Sublime.
And Hale does not have the encryption key to the Sublime.
So she has no way of getting him out of the Sublime.
In other words, this might not be Teddy.
To play devil’s advocate, Maya might not be entirely under Hale’s control since Maya
appears to be waking up.
And someone drew a maze out on Christina’s balcony.
If Teddy was the one who drew that Maze, then he might be the hero Teddy that many fans
are hoping he is.
In theory, Bernard may have downloaded Teddy into a body in the real world, and Teddy is
now trying to help Dolores find the center of her maze.
Last, but not least, let’s not forget the wildcard of the episode.
Stubbs.
When Jay told C that he was taking Stubbs with him as collateral, Stubbs asked Bernard
if he had to go with them.
Bernard said that he had to.
For safety.
But not his own safety.
So Bernard eluded to the fact that Ashley Stubbs is probably going to save someone’s
life.
