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

4. Charlotte Became Dolores, But Is Now... Someone Else?

In the finale's biggest shocker, Charlotte Hale was killed, and a host version of her body was then implanted with the mind of Dolores, creating what the show's production has been calling 'Halores'.

This twist allows Charlotte/Dolores to kill several Delos employees and then leave the park (thanks to Subbs) with five host peals in her possession. However, that's not the end of the body swapping because, at the very end of the episode, Dolores is back in the form of Evan Rachel Wood.

That means Charlotte is either another version of Dolores, or - as seems more likely - someone else entirely, although there aren't too many options for who it could be.
