Westworld Season Four:
In season four, we find out what happened to Dolores (Evan Rachel Wood) after she shot Ford and ran off with Bernard (Jeffrey Wright). After her actions led to The Delos Destinations Emergency Response Team taking over WestWorld, they have been trying for weeks to track down any remaining hosts that were on the property when it went rogue.” They know about those who took part in Arnold’s final game but these are just some of them; there are other dangerous ones still at large. It will take time before all their secrets can be uncovered – but then again, there are many secrets.
There is a new world order in the season four premiere of Westworld – and we finally get to see what it’s like for Dolores after she made the decision last year to shoot Ford and run away with Bernard into The Valley Beyond.” “Bernard tells her that they’re doing their best to make sense of everything that’s happened but he assures her that she did all this,” Evan Rachel Wood says. “A lot has changed from when we were here before, but I can’t say how things will turn out because life always finds a way.”
In trying times like these two people need each other more than ever; he needs someone who understands him just as well as herself, and she needs someone who can help her to better understand the world around them.
Dolores and Bernard can find a moment of peace in their chaotic lives with one another, but they’re not out of danger yet.
“We were living this life where we had no idea about all these terrible things happening outside our doorstep,” Wood says.”The stakes have come up so much because now it’s like you take my life away from me if I don’t fight for what I believe in.”
The show also reflects on memory and how precious that is when you live forever — which becomes an important theme for both Dolores and Bernard as season four signs of progress.
