Wow. What an episode.

Honestly, I thought this episode would be like episode five. Just filler to add suspense to the finale. Boy, was I wrong!

Everything about this episode was meaningful and helped aid this complex narrative of Westworld. It answered many questions in Season 1 and 2.

The story was also beautifully written. Pacing was perfect. I never felt bored in looking at my TV in an hour. It was also a very emotional episode. Something very rare for Westworld, a show so deep... its goal isn't to make you cry, but gasp at the twists.

And of course, the performances. What really opened my eyes was Zahn McClarnon's performance as Aketcha. GIve him an award for conveying such a character.

Overall, perfect episode. I am excited to witness the last two episodes of this season.
