Westworld: 9 Mysteries That Season 2 Must Resolve
5. What Happaned To Stubbs And Hughes?
Alive? Dead? Captured by the Ghost Nation? Where oh where are Ashley Stubbs (Luke Hemsworth) and Elsie Hughes (Shannon Woodward)?
Elsie, of course, hadn't been seen since being attacked by Bernard (seemingly under Ford's control) while investigating transmissions being sent out of the park. Then, after her homing beacon began chirping, Stubbs went out into the park (alone, of course) to investigate - and wound up being attacked by the Ghost Nation. That was in the show's ninth episode, The Well-Tempered Clavier.
Then they were gone.
Elise and Stubbs were barely even mentioned in the season finale, despite Stubbs clearly being the one who should have been handling the massive security breach during the gathering of the Delos board. They're simply gone from the narrative, and that's fine - as long as things are tied up next season.
It's likely either one or the other survived, and even though they're supporting characters, they're central enough - especially Elsie, who was really quite endearing - to require proper attention.
