Westworld, Season 1

In the series premiere, another day of fantasy plays out in Westworld – a vast, remote park where guests pay top dollar to share wild-west adventures with android “hosts.” But top programmer Bernard Lowe (series star Jeffrey Wright) alerts park founder Dr. Robert Ford (series star Anthony Hopkins) about incidents of aberrant behavior cropping up in some recently re-coded hosts. Meanwhile, in the Westworld town of Sweetwater, a rancher’s daughter named Dolores (series star Evan Rachel Wood) encounters a gunslinger named Teddy (series star James Marsden) in the street – but their predictable narrative is upended by the appearance of a ruthless Man in Black (series star Ed Harris) and, later, by a supporting host’s unscripted encounter with an artifact of the outside world.

A pair of guests, first-timer William (series star Jimmi Simpson) and repeat visitor Logan (series star Ben Barnes), arrive at Westworld with different expectations and agendas. Bernard and Quality Assurance head Theresa Cullen (series star Sidse Babett Knudsen) debate whether a recent host anomaly is contagious. Meanwhile, behavior engineer Elsie Hughes (series star Shannon Woodward) tweaks the emotions of Maeve (series star Thandie Newton), a madam in Sweetwater’s brothel, in order to avoid a recall. Cocky programmer Lee Sizemore (series star Simon Quarterman) pitches his latest narrative to the team, but Dr. Ford has other ideas. Meanwhile, the Man in Black conscripts a condemned man, Lawrence (series star Clifton Collins, Jr.), to help him uncover Westworld’s deepest secrets.

Elsie and Head of Security Stubbs (series star Luke Hemsworth) head into the hills in pursuit of a missing host. Teddy gets a new backstory, which sets him off in pursuit of a new villain, leaving Dolores alone in Sweetwater. Bernard investigates the origins of madness and hallucinations within the hosts. William finds an attraction he’d like to pursue and drags Logan along for the ride.

Dolores joins William and Logan on a bounty hunt in the badlands. With Lawrence in tow, the Man in Black finds a critical clue in his search to unlock the maze. Dr. Ford and Theresa discuss the future of the park. Maeve is troubled by a recurring vision.

Dolores, William and Logan reach Pariah, a town built on decadence and transgression – where they are recruited for a dangerous mission. Meanwhile, the Man in Black meets an unlikely ally in his search to unlock the maze.

Elsie discovers a possible source of sabotage, while Bernard searches for clues to anomalies in a sector thought to be abandoned. Theresa questions Ford’s leadership while Lee encounters a new arrival at Westworld. Meanwhile, Maeve charms Lutz (guest star Leonardo Nam), and the Man in Black and Teddy run afoul of a Union garrison in their attempt to cross a border.

With Theresa’s assistance, Charlotte aims to expose dangerous flaws in Ford’s creations. William, Dolores and Lawrence journey into treacherous terrain. Maeve delivers an ultimatum to Lutz and Sylvester. With his back to the wall, Bernard considers his next move.

Ford orders a reluctant Bernard to conduct business as usual. Maeve looks to change the script for her storyline. Dolores finds it increasingly difficult to separate dreams from reality. Teddy is jarred by dark memories, while the Man in Black recalls some of the travails that brought him to this critical juncture.

Maeve approached Sweetwater’s longtime outlaw, Hector, with a bold proposition. William tries to convince Logan to help liberate Dolores. Teddy and the Man in Black come closer to what they’re looking for. Stubbs’s suspicions are aroused. And Ford cautions Bernard against seeking answers to questions best left unasked.

In the season one finale, Ford unveils his vision for a bold new narrative. Meanwhile, Dolores, enlightened by Bernard and the Man in Black, comes to terms with who she is. And Maeve sets her liberation plan in motion as Westworld faces a major upheaval.
