If Westworld was a person it would be an excellent poker player, because it plays its cards real close to the chest. It withheld a few stunning twists, with the reveal of Bernard being a host being the most impactful.

This caused easter egg hunting fans to look back over past episodes for clues, and they realised a picture showing young Ford and someone who was presumably Arnold, had enough space to fit a third, unseen figure. Since hosts are programmed not to see certain things, it appeared likely something was being withheld from Bernard.

Episode nine proved this to be true, revealing Bernard’s design was based on Arnold, and that he was the mysterious third figure in the picture. It was another layer of the plot peeled away, and showed – yet again - Jonathan Nolan is a man who knows how to craft a good twist.
