Unlike last week we don't spend time in the distant past during Virtu e Fortuna, but that doesn't mean the timelines are still completely straightforward.

The cold open happens when the park is still functioning as it should be, so assuming all the parks undergo the transformation at the same time, that's just before/at the same time as Ford's death and the massacre in Westworld, with the following scenes in RajWorld coming just after that event.

The scenes with Delos, where Bernard is reunited with Charlotte, are still the 'present' day, or so it appears.

The other scenes, then, have progressed a few days on from the massacre, but are still a decent chunk of time (maybe a week or so?) away from the present. How long before they merge?
