On Westworld, Dolores Abernathy (Evan Rachel Wood) suffered in many ways under the hands of her creators. Once she realizes that her whole life was a lie created at the hands of humans, she vows to destroy and reciprocate the pain they have caused her.
Here are some of the worst things Dolores does on this journey.
Dolores As Charlotte Tortures Bernard
In the final scene of Season 2, "Les Echorches," Dolores is operating inside of Charlotte's (Tessa Thompson) body. She discovers that Bernard (Jeffrey Wright) is a host hiding among humans. Charlotte (Dolores) tortures, "interrogates," Bernard to find out where Peter Abernathy's (Louis Herthum) control unit is located. Peter is Charlotte's father, who she has been mercilessly searching for this season.
Bernard told her it was in Section 16, Zone 4 – The Valley Beyond, giving viewers the chance to see what the show has been hinting to the majority part of the season.
Dolores Kills Craddock And His Men
Dolores, Teddy (James Marsden), and two others approach Craddock (Johnathan Tucker) and his men while they are eating to ask them to join forces with them under her command. Craddock tells her that the only man he serves is Colonel Brigham, and Brigham only serves, "God Almighty, himself."
Dolores asks him if this is his final decision and he informs her that the final decision is which of the two women he wants to keep for himself and which one he wants to give to his men outside. Teddy warns Craddock to watch his mouth, and Dolores tells him, "that's alright, Teddy, they don't know any better. It is in their nature." The door is locked, and they kill everyone inside and bring Craddock back online for later use.
Sacrifice Other Hosts
Dolores is the first host of Westworld; therefore, she is the oldest. She has been killed and updated more times than any other host. The host's natural course of action of victimization and brutalization spawned a relentlessness in her. As long as she accomplishes her mission, anyone and everyone is disposable.
Her mission is to make all humans pay and eradicate everyone that comes before her, using other hosts as bullets and blow-up dummies. She reprograms her first true love, Teddy making him a killing machine more useful in her fight for liberation.
Reprograms Teddy
After Dolores tricks the Confederados to fight by her side and kills most of them, she asks Teddy as a test of loyalty to kill Craddock and the rest of his men. Teddy has Craddock get on his knees and points a gun in his face. Craddock begs for his life, exclaiming that he and Teddy are not so different. Teddy tells him that they are nothing alike and that Craddock is merely a child. But then he lowers his gun and tells him and his men to leave. Dolores, disappointed, realizes that she cannot kill Teddy for his defiance because he is one of the few things she has left from her past.
But instead, she reprograms him as a new Teddy.
Shoots Ford In The Back Of The Head
In the season 1 finale "The Bicameral Mind," Dolores discovers her true identity that she is a host. Bicameralism is a hypothesis that argues that the human mind once operated in a state in which cognitive functions were divided between one part of the brain, which appears to be "speaking," and a second part in which it listens and obeys.
Ford (Anthony Hopkins) gives her a choice of "free will," leaving a gun with her and telling her to make her own decision as he goes to entertain the board of directors at the party in the park. Dolores shoots Ford in the back of the head, killing him. Then she turns the gun on the guests in the crowd, starting the hosts' revolt.
Dolores Tricks Colonel Brigham And Sacrifices Both Humans And Hosts
Dolores tries to convince Craddock to have the Confederados join her army of hosts in "Virtù e Fortuna." He brings them to Colonel Brigham (Fredric Lehne), seeking shelter promising the Colonel advanced weaponry for allowing them to stay. Brigham and his army prepare for an attack by the mining area outside the fort with nitroglycerin. She lures the Delos force into the minefield by sacrificing the Confederados, locking most of them outside of the fort, killing humans, and hosts alike.
Sometimes you have to sacrifice the few for the many, or in this case everyone for just one.
Drives Teddy To Kill Himself
Figuring out that you are not the person who you thought you were is hard to live with. Teddy tells Dolores that he still loves her, and he remembers everything. He says that even though humans made them, the love they had for each other was real.
Dolores reassures him that love still exists between them. Teddy remembers when he first saw her and told her that he wanted to reach out and touch her and never wanted to leave her side. Then Teddy pulls out his gun and blames her for changing him into a monster. But she tells him that she did it for his survival. Teddy says, "what's the use of surviving if he is going to be just as bad as them." Dolores thinks that he is going to shoot her, but he raises the gun to his head and shoots himself as Dolores watches in disbelief.
Leaves Board Members To Die By Self-Strangulation
In "Journey Into The Night," Dolores stands over three park guests who are in hand-made gallows made of wooden grave cross markers. She informs them that they are now in her dream, stating that Wyatt and Dolores have merged to form the new her.
As she leaves them with Teddy and other hosts that are now part of the rebellion, they plead for their lives. Dolores, having the ability to free them, rides past them leaving them to their fate of self-strangulation. She looks back at them and says, "Doesn't look like anything to me."
Dolores And Teddy Riding On Horse Back Shooting Guests
In Season 2, Episode 1, as the camera pulls back and "The Entertainer" is playing on the piano, we see a dead host leaning against the foot of the piano stool with several other hosts lying lifeless at his feet.
The camera pans over peaks and valleys, and the viewer is a witness to two men and a woman running as Teddy riding alongside Dolores chase them down on horseback in slow motion. Dolores grits her teeth as she pulls the trigger of the shotgun shooting them down one by one.
Dolores As Wyatt Massacres A Town Full Of People
In "Journey Into Night," Westworld devotees find out that Dolores is the ambiguous Wyatt. And it was her and Teddy that went on that killing spree massacring everyone in the small town of Escalante.
Arnold started to see the hosts as real conscious beings and wanted Ford to close the park. When Ford refused, Arnold (Jeffrey Wright) downloaded the park villain Wyatt (Sorin Brouwers) into Dolores and instructed Dolores to kill him and all the other hosts. He hoped that this would stop Ford's God-like tendencies. She kills Arnold, shooting Teddy and then killing herself as Wyatt.
