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

One character who we know made it out of the park, and won't be in the body of Tessa Thompson, is Bernard, who was smuggled out by Halores and has since been put back into his original Arnold body.

Although the two hosts are at odds, this serves as a tacit admission from Dolores that she does need him in some way. They may not agree, they may want to kill each other (and indeed have done, sort of, before now), but if they're going to thrive in the real world then they'll need to find a way of working together, with Bernard keeping her in check, and that power struggle and conflict should be something we see a lot more of in Season 3.
