2×01 “Where you go, I follow.” // 2×06 “I’m not leaving your side.”
So the thing about these two is:
A. They aren’t at all programmed to be together and yet they are (my heart!)
B. Unlike Teddy/Delores, where Delores is strong-willed and leads the charge and Teddy just looks bewildered and uncertain (although James Marsden’s “whaaaa?” face is oddly endearing) here you have a similar dynamic but when Maeve leads Hector saddles right up and rides at her side. Now that is a power couple.
More characters survived the Westworld season 1 finale’s mayhem than you might think. The upcoming second season of HBO’s acclaimed sci-fi hit dives headlong into Dolores (Evan Rachel Wood) leading a robo-revolution to seize control of the futuristic theme park. But last season’s finale mayhem, the lack of certain characters in season 2’s trailers — and the silent hush around the show’s new narrative in general — has led to some uncertainty among some fans about who exactly is coming back this year, and who is not.
We spoke to showrunners Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy and managed to get a few tidbits on what we can expect for some of the characters whose fates were left uncertain:
The Man in Black (Ed Harris) and William (Jimmi Simpson): The theme park’s VIP guest is very much alive and has a new mission in season 2 (“He gets a bit of damage done to him, that’s for sure,” Harris teases). We’ll also see his younger incarnation, William, as we explore the early days of the park and discover how he gained so much influence over Delos Incorporated.
Elsie Hughes (Shannon Woodward) and Ashley Stubbs (Luke Hemsworth): Smart-ass programmer Hughes vanished near the end of season 1, while wary security chief Stubbs was captured by a tribe of Native American hosts when he went looking for her. Both are alive, but not exactly doing so hot. “They’re finally getting to experience Westworld as guests and not in the managerial halls, but I’m not sure they’re enjoying their experience,” Joy says dryly.

“I know we both believe the same thing. No matter how dirty the business, do it well.”

I just love Thandie’s dress
