Warning: Spoilers ahead for the season two finale of HBO's "Westworld."
The second season of HBO's "Westworld" came to an end with the 90-minute whirlwind episode "The Passenger." Between the revelation that Charlotte had actually been Dolores hiding inside a copied body of the Delos boss for part of the timeline, plus a mind-bending post-credits scene with a version of William and host-Emily, there was a lot to unpack.
You can read our explanation of the finale's Charlotte/Dolores twist here, along with a breakdown of what the post-credits scene means here, but now let's turn to the unknown.
Keep reading to see the 13 biggest unanswered questions we had after the season two finale of "Westworld."
Who are the five hosts Dolores smuggled out of the park?
Dolores (disguised as Charlotte Hale) took five hosts' control unit pearls with her when she left Westworld and entered the real world. But which five?
We know at least one of the pearls was Bernard, since she reprinted his body in Arnold's house and awoke him there.
But what about the other four? One could have been her father, Peter Abernathy. We know she spent much of her time inside Charlotte's body trying to find the Abernathy pearl again.
As for the rest, there are many possibilities that will hopefully be narrowed down on the third season.
Of those pearls, which is the host now inside of Charlotte Hale's body copy?
As the finale revealed, Dolores arrived at Arnold's house and discovered that Ford had made sure a new body-printer and Westworld style lab were there. Dolores printed herself a new regular Dolores body, and then likely printed bodies for the other host pearls, too.
But on the finale we only saw the Charlotte body, presumably with a different host pearl inside. Who is it? Someone we know?
At least this means Tessa Thompson will likely be back on the third season, this time playing a new Charlotte Hale hybrid character.
Is Stubbs really a host? Turns out the answer is a clear yes.
As the director of the episode, Frederick E.O. Toye, revealed to Joanna Robinson at Vanity Fair, Stubbs is definitely a host.
He helped Dolores escape by waving her through security, though it's unclear what he'll do in the park with regards to the remaining hosts. We also don't know exactly when Stubbs became self-aware, or how "awake" he is.
The little monologue he gave Charlotte/Dolores made his host status pretty clear, but here it is one more time in case you forgot:
"You know the old man himself hired me, so many years ago I can barely remember it," Stubbs said, referring to Ford. "But he was very clear about my role here. About who I was supposed to be loyal to. Guess you could call it my core drive. And this project the company started blurs the lines. I'm just not sure who you're supposed to be loyal to in a world like that. But what do I know? Guess I just stick to the role Ford gave me. I'm responsible for every host inside the park."
