We're finally introduced to the money man behind the park this week - who just so happens to be Logan's father - with the arrival of James Delos on the show, played gruffly by Peter Mullan.

We probably shouldn't get too attached though, because it's made fairly clear that he has some sort of illness and likely won't be long for this world, barring a major breakthrough. However, there's a chance he could live on, sort of, as a host. More specifically, could he be Peter Abernathy?

Aside from the physical similarity between the actors, the point of Abernathy losing it at a picture of Delos' daughter is a pertinent one. It also comes after Ford released a programme that would allow hosts to access prior memories. This would certainly add to the importance of Abernathy, who has been chosen to smuggle the data out of the park, and would make that choice far less random.

Then again, people might not know that's the case, and it could be a revenge ploy - for reasons we don't fully understand yet - by William, who certainly has it in him to do that to someone.
