Warning: Spoilers ahead for "Westworld" season two, episode three, "Virtù e Fortuna."
HBO's second season of "Westworld" pressed on with a dramatic military showdown and a cliffhanger ending that teased Shogun World. The episode, likely named for Machiavelli's philosophical ideologies presented in "The Prince," contained several important references and revelations.
Keep reading for a look at 11 details you might have missed on the latest episode of "Westworld."
The song playing during the cold open on the new park was a cover of "Seven Nation Army" by The White Stripes.
"Westworld" surprised fans by revealing a third park called The Raj in a cold open. Two new human characters were introduced in the opening, too. Nicholas (played by Neil Jackson) was a short-lived man killed by a host. The woman he was with isn't listed in the episode credits.
An instrumental version of "Seven Nation Army" played while the new characters flirted over tea. To see all the music covered on "Westworld" so far, read our episode-by-episode guide to the soundtrack here.
The credits withhold the woman's character name but they also reveal an interesting appearance. Akecheta is listed, meaning we must have seen him somewhere on the episode.
We're pretty sure he's one of the Ghost Nation hosts who appears in Maeve's flashbacks. When the Ghost Nation hosts approach her and Lee on the river, she remembers an attack from them back on her homestead narrative.
It looks to us as if Akecheta (played by Zahn McClarnon) has taken over the role of the host who Maeve remembers looking through her window.
During Maeve's memory flashes, a split-second shot of the maze was shown.
The flash of new footage appears to be Maeve holding a rock with the maze drawn onto it in dark liquid (likely blood). There's a teapot in the background of the shot, and it doesn't look like a scene we've been shown before.
This serves as another strong link between the maze, the Native hosts of Westworld, and Maeve's traumatic experiences.
To better understand this connection, read our explainer of the Native and Ghost Nation tribe hosts and their lore surrounding the maze and the Westworld park.
