As you noted, he is observing a little bit more, and the advances from Clementine come when he is pretty convinced this is not a place for him. Initially, clearly he is brought to this park not necessarily against his will, but it’s certainly not his idea. I think like all of us, the things that affect and ultimately change William are multi-layered. Do you think the events that transpired in Pariah flipped a switch in him? But as the story goes on, he rapidly becomes a key player in one of the show’s main storylines. TVLINE | When we meet William, he’s very much an observer. Read on for more of Simpson’s thoughts on this week’s steamy development, his colorfully expert season-finale tease (“it’s not some bulls-t cliffhanger”) and more. He adds, ” I don’t think he’s decided one way or another this is going to end or this isn’t going to end, but I think the pools that he’s dropping into are getting wider.” So he makes each choice to stick around longer, the moment he gets dropped into keeps on getting larger and deeper.” Then it’s less about choices and it’s just about being present. Like, we’re making choices, and then once you make the choice, you’re in it. “I think that’s kind of the way we live our life. “Each moment, he is making a choice to stick around for the next moment,” he said. So when TVLine recently got Simpson on the phone, we wondered whether a post-Pariah William was even thinking about his vacation’s inevitable (or is it?) end. If William isn’t yet at the stage where he’s ready to sell all his earthly goods and buy a Westword lifetime pass, as he gazes at his robot love interest, it certainly seems like he’s far more willing to play make-believe now than he was upstairs in that brothel. William and Dolores make love in a swaying train car after having a conversation about how they’ve gotten glimpses of a life that’s real - and they want to chase it. You two are going to help me.” And if they don’t help her? “I’ll kill you.”


* After witnessing Clementine’s decommissioning - thanks to a sham on Theresa and Charlotte’s part that makes the young prostitute seem violent - Maeve announces to Felix and Sylvester, “I’m getting out of here. * And the reason DELOS was having Theresa beam the host’s code up to a satellite? None of the intellectual property is backed-up offsite - and the board wants a safety net in case Ford wipes all the hosts’ code when he’s pushed into retirement. Ford orders Bernard to kill her, and the host does. * Bernard is a host! Secretly made by Ford a long time ago, and therefore heeding his creator’s call, the bespectacled ‘bot lures Theresa down to Ford’s secret lair… where Theresa finds sketches, realizes what’s up and then realizes it’s way too late for her.
