Westworld: 10 Biggest Twists - Ranked Worst To Best
3. Bernard Is Arnold
Episode: 9 - The Well-Tempered Clavier
Shock Factor: 4/5
Whereas the MIB theory lost its black hat, and even Dolores is Wyatt was average, a more satisfying reveal was that Bernard was Arnold. Couple this with the sneaky anagram that Bernard Lowe rearranged means Arnold Weber, and you can tip your stetson to Westworld. Subtle nods like this mean that moving forward, audiences should analyze everything.
Eagle-eyed viewers clocked the man-sized gap in the picture of Arnold and Ford in Robert's office weeks before, but the pay off was still worth the wait. The tragic story of Arnold and his son Charlie, then giving Bernard a similar story was just plain cruel. Being dealt the double blow that you are a robot, and created in the image of the park's creator meaning that your child was never real it tragic. Bernarnold also nicely brought together the multiple timelines by Dolores/Bernard meeting actually being Dolores and Arnold - pure head f*ck perfection.
