Westworld Season 2 Finale: What Does The Ending Really Mean?

6. Who’s Actually Dead?

There’s a lot of bloodshed in The Passenger, including the likes of Dolores and Bernard having bullets put in their heads. Both, however, are alive and, well they’re alive, at the end of the episode. So as the season closes, who is actually dead?

Lee Sizemore makes a noble sacrifice to protect Maeve, so he’s a goner. So too are other Delos employees: Elsie is shot by Charlotte, and Karl Strand and his security team are taken out by Halores.

Charlotte, meanwhile, is herself dead, but her body is still in use as a host, we just don’t know who for as yet.

As far as the hosts go, there’s a possibility none of them will stay dead. Clementine, at the least, should do, as she was the vessel for the host-killing virus. Maeve and her gang, including Hector and Armistice, are all dead, but likely to be brought back online.

The hosts who do go to the Sublime are really neither alive nor dead, instead existing in that virtual space. There’s a chance we’ll see the likes of Teddy and Akecheta again, but their stories wrap up nicely here, so they should be gone for good.

And as for Robert Ford, who was dead anyway but lived on inside the Cradle, it seems he’s REALLY gone now. But then, we thought that last time too.
