Warning: Spoilers ahead for "Westworld."

"Westworld" episode six delivered new story twists and (perhaps unsurprisingly) even more mysteries for fans to parse through. But among some of the larger scenes involving Delos' executive board, Arnold's mysterious presence and Maeve's new super-brain, there were some small but significant moments.

Scroll down for a look at the five details you might have missed.

The episode opened with a piano version of Radiohead's "Fake Plastic Trees" playing.

Each episode of "Westworld" so far has contained a modern piano cover from composer Ramin Djawadi. The song choices are often telling of a deeper plot, and this week's is no different. "Fake Plastic Trees" played as Maeve went through a typical-but-twisted morning.

She manipulated a vicious guest into killing her so she would be sent back to the Delos headquarters and be able to speak with Felix again. Then as he walked her through the building, another Radiohead song ("Motion Picture Soundtrack") played.

The lyrics of "Fake Plastic Trees" relate back to Maeve's false existence:

"She looks like the real thing
She tastes like the real thing
My fake plastic love
But I can't help the feeling
I could blow through the ceiling
If I just turn and run."



Speaking of Maeve, let's take a closer look at her personality characteristic chart.

We know from the end of the episode that someone's been messing with Maeve's "paranoia" and "self-preservation" attributes, but this chart gives us a look at a sliver of the other characteristics programmed into Maeve. 

The chart we see here is only "Group 01" of her traits: candor, vivacity, coordination, meekness, humility, cruelty, self-preservation, patience, decisiveness, imagination, curiosity, aggression, loyalty, empathy, tenacity, courage, sensuality, charm, and humor.

Maeve's top qualities are candor (19) and charm/sensuality (both 18). Her weakest qualities are cruelty (1) and meekness (2). 



When Bernard goes down to the Delos sublevel, a host lurking in the dark is a callback to the original "Westworld" movie.

The figure is wearing a cowboy hat and has its hands tucked into its pocket. This looks exactly like the gunslinging robot character Yul Brynner played in the original 1973 "Westworld" movie.
