- Maeve finds herself walking in a field with her daughter. She then finds herself alone in the field, alone. Maeve figures that it isn't real, Serac walks up to her and says that it could be, and says that the memories of Hosts don't fade. Maeve advises him to choose memories with less bloodshed, and Serac points out that she fought for the world once and died for it. Dolores might make Maeve's sacrifice meaningless, and Maeve says that she wants what Dolores has: help. Serac says that he can do that, but tells her that if she fails again, her future won't be in such bucolic surroundings. He walks off, and Maeve imagines her daughter there.
Waking up in the chalet in Warworld, Maeve gets up and goes out in the streets. The Nazis are demanding that the townspeople hand over the partisans, and Maeve walks out and tells the German officer that she's the one he wants. The Nazi soldiers aim their guns at her, and Maeve uses her power to make them gently put their guns on the street. The townspeople run off, and Maeve gestures for the soldiers to attack her. They do, and Maeve easily defeats them.
A patient tells his therapy group that he has his routine, but he's not really there. He says that he tries to convince himself that God has a plan, and the Man speaks up and says that God is a fantasy. The therapist, Dr. Natasha Lang, asks if the Man wants to share more of his thoughts with them. The Man says that he thinks that humanity are just bacteria, and have plundered the planet for anything of value. He tells the first patient that he's there like the rest of them to speed along the entropic death of the planet and service the chaos. The Man tells the others that their maggots eating a corpse. One patient breaks into tears, and the first patient asks the Man what's wrong with him. The Man just chuckles.
Later, the Man meets with Lang alone and removes his right glove, revealing two missing fingers. He says that he doesn't belong there, and Lang asks if he wants to talk about what happened to Grace. The Man says that Grace died, and Lang asks if he feels guilt since he escaped the massacre and Grace didn't. He says that Lang doesn't have the first clue about what happened, and Lang tells the Man that he's the only one who knows and is the only one who can unlock their meaning.
Lang's phone rings and she silences it, saying her family knows not to call her during work hours. She asks him to participate in a form of therapy they've used with veterans suffering from PTSD, and the Man insists that he doesn't need treatment. Lang tells him that he has something in his brain he needs to explore, and he needs to confront the truth. On her computer, Lang assigns the man to AR Therapy. The Man remembers Grace and tells Lang that he doesn't need any therapy to confront the truth. He knows what he did, and didn't mean for it to happen. The Man admits that he was confused and he spent so long playing the game that he couldn't see out of it. He says that he killed his wife Emily, so he belongs dead in a coffin rather than a mental hospital.
Lang breaks into tears, and looks at her phone with her Rheoboam file. Her husband has said that he's leaving her and taking the kids, having seen the same file. She apologizes to William and walks out, leaving the door open behind her.
Later in a lab, two techs prepare the Man for AR Therapy, and complain that they should be getting overtime because half the staff has disappeared. They take a blood sample and sent it to a lab, and the tech there finds an unknown protein in the blood. Meanwhile, one of the techs puts a grip in the roof of the Man's mouth and place him in a VR of Desert Oasis to calm him down.
Two guards take a straitjacketed Man to his cell, and he passes Lang's office and sees her hang herself. The guards ignore the Man's protests and drag him along,
In San Francisco, Charlotte takes her son Nathan down the street past the chaos. She takes him to Jake's apartment and tells him to go to his room so she and Jake can talk. Once Nathan leaves, Charlotte tells Jake that she needs him to watch Nathan because she has to go to work. Jake points out that people are rioting, and Charlotte clutches at her left wrist and says that she thinks she's scared. Jake says that the woman he knows is fearless, and Charlotte sees a tablet on a table and realizes that he read his Rheoboam profile. Jake says that he wanted to know what happened with them, but he never read it so he doesn't know what the future holds for them. However, Jake insists that it's their choice, not a machine's, and takes Charlotte's hand. He hugs her, and Charlotte sees Nathan watching them from his bedroom door.
Charlotte leaves the apartment and goes to Delos. Brompton greets her and Charlotte asks if he convened the board. He says that they've convening in one hour, and Charlotte points out that Serac's takeover bid becomes final at noon, and Brompton tells her that between the two of them, they should have enough votes. One of two men posing as landscapers grabs Charlotte and escorts her away, and another man shoots Brompton in the face and tossing him in their automated trash bin. Meanwhile, the first man hands Charlotte a phone and leaves. Serac talks to Charlotte on the phone, saying that he knew Brompton was convening a board vote. She asks if Serac has found Delores, and Serac tells her that his people are getting close.
Getting into her car, Charlotte calls Dolores and tells her what happened to Brompton. She apologies for failing, and Dolores tell her that she needs her to get the Host-making data from Delos before Serac destroys it. Charlotte worries that she'll be caught, and Dolores assures her that she won't get caught because she knows what she's capable of. When Charlotte warns that Serac will come after her family, Dolores reminds her that they're not her family. After a moment, Charlotte agrees and complains about how they kept their emotions instead of burning them out of their code. Dolores reminds her that they considered it but doing so would make survival pointless. Charlotte says that she's already changed and Dolores assures Charlotte that she's still hers and she's Charlotte's. Dolores tells Charlotte to continue playing her part and get the data they need, and then Charlotte is done and they'll build their new world together.
The two guards strap the Man into a chair and leave, and Dr. Albert comes in and introduces himself. He says that he'll be overseeing the Man's AR treatment. He assures his patient that the experience is safe and puts a pair of goggles on the Man's head. Once Albert leaves, the Man sees his young self come in and unstrap him, and the Man finds himself in his childhood home. The Man stands up and sees Young William reading a book on his bed.
The Man's father yells, asking his wife where "he" is. Young William warns the Man that their father is coming, and the Man demands to get out of there. Albert comes into the room and says that they should give the Man a sedative manually since the grip isn't working. The nurse with Albert tries to do so, and the Man bites his fingers. Albert calls in guards and tells them to sedate the Man and get him out, and they force-feed him a sedative.
Serac arrives at Delos, and Charlotte and her team greet him. She leads Serac and his bodyguards off, and he tells his men to lockdown the facility.
Maeve kills the last of the soldiers, and Lee appears. He suggests that they have a drink and leads her into a nearby bar. He says that he wasn't going back to work after realizing he doesn't exist, and that he programmed the bar occupants to not perceive him. Maeve and Lee drink, and he says that he didn't think he'd see Maeve there again. Maeve explains that her body will be reprinted shortly by Serac, and then realizes that they're being moved.
In the real world, a technician unhooks Maeve's pearl from a portable computer cart.
Maeve realizes that they're "home" and Serac kept his word. Meanwhile, the technician hooks a damaged pearl up to the computer cart. Maeve realizes that she's been given an extra "gift".
At Delos, Serac has the company renamed "Incite", and checks the eclipse on his watch. He realizes that it's done and tells his people to have retask all the corporate satellites to the park facility, copy three assets, and destroy the rest. When one Delos employee, Joanna Adler, warns that it's the destruction of a trillion dollars in intellectual property, Serac says that all he wants out of Delos is what Charlotte promised him: the encryption key.
Once Serac's men go to carry out his orders, Serac says that they have one other problem: a copy of Dolores at Delos. He orders all employees tested for aberrations, and Charlotte says that she can handle it. She leaves and goes to a computer console, logs in, and downloads the Host data onto her phone.
One of Serac's men comes in and reminds Charlotte that Serac order the destruction of the Host data. Charlotte claims that she's making a backup for Serac's future benefit. The man goes to tell Serac, and Charlotte breaks his neck and hides his body. She then returns to the computer console and the data finishes downloading.
The Man lies on his cot, and a guard comes in and tells him that it's time for his group session. He asks if the Man is going to come peacefully, and the Man sits up and looks at him for a moment. The Man then lets the guard lead him to the group therapy room, where various versions of himself and his father are waiting. The argue among themselves as the Man listens, and when he protests, his father James tells him to change the hallucination if he doesn't like it. Young William figures that the Man can't change it because there's something he wants to learn there. William tells the Man that whatever mistakes he made, it has nothing to do with them. The Older William argues that he's done a lot for the world and killed a few Hosts, but it doesn't matter because they're not real. Snapping, the Man yells at them to all shut up. James tells him that it's not all about him
At the Delos control center, a team search through the abandoned Hosts and finds Hector. They take his control unit upstairs to transmit the data, and they'll destroy the rest of Hector.
In the virtual bar, Hector comes in and tells Maeve that he got her message. Lee warns that Hector can't be out in the open and the bar is dangerous, and Maeve tells Hector that the place isn't real but a simulation. Hector doesn't understand, and Maeve tells him that she can see the pearl holding his consciousness and that means she can restore him. She puts her hands to Hector's temples, downloading his consciousness, and Hector greets Maeve by her real name, not the one in the simulation.
The couple kiss until Lee coughs to interrupts. Hector points out that the last time he saw Lee, Lee was taking a hail of bullets for them. Maeve says that there's someone she needs to talk to and leaves with Hector in tow, and Lee follows them.
In her office, Charlotte uploads the Host data she stole, and then tracks the genetic marker in the Man's blood. She traces it and finds Maeve and Hector's pearls nearby, and calls Dolores to tell her what she's found but they recovered Martin's pearl.
Maeve, Hector, and Lee go into the basement and find a workshop, with a naked Dolores in one of the rooms. Hector wonders why she's there, and Maeve explains that Serac wants her to kill the real Dolores and he's put a copy of her there so Maeve can get one step closer. Maeve says that she doesn't want to kill Dolores, and the copy can't hurt them because Maeve is in control. The trio enter the room and Maeve has Dolores bring herself online. Once Dolores does, she greets Maeve
The Williams and James continue to argue, and James tells the hallucinatory Older William that there's no sense in denying his dark urges. And Older William suggests that they might not have even been his urges. He says that he was never like that as a child, and playing the game might have made him that way. James isn't impressed, and William sarcastically says that he's sorry his past doesn't suit James' tastes. Young William tells them that he had nothing growing up but books, and James asks the real Man if the story is true. James suggests that they look again, and the Man begs him not to because he doesn't want to go back there.
Young William's bedroom door appears, and he curses and goes through it. On the other side, the younger James yells at Young William, pointing out that he broke a bully's arm at school. The younger James asks what's wrong with Young William, and the Man yells that it's enough. He sits back in his chair, and Young William reappears in the room and says that James drank because of the Man. William realizes that he never had a choice, and James asks the Man if he thinks it was the inevitable end and the Man was just a passenger in his life or he chose it. The others all stare at the Man, who asks if matters if he can't tell. He says that he has to go and stands up.
Maeve tells Dolores that she's made herself the gatekeeper to two species, and there's a civilization worth of data in her head. When Maeve tells Dolores that it's not right for one person to have all that power, Dolores points out that Maeve can control them with her mind. She admits that she's had to make some difficult choices, and she did it for all of them. Dolores and Maeve are still in danger, and even now Serac is destroying as many of the Hosts as he can. She asks Maeve who she's sacrificed for her daughter, and asks Hector how many times he's died for Maeve. Dolores tells Maeve that she isn't a saint or a villain, and neither is she: they're both survivors.
Charlotte goes to a wall safe and takes out a pistol and a metal cylinder. She goes back to her desk, checks the security feeds, then calls Jake and tells him that she has one thing to do and then she'll meet him and Nathan at the apartment in a half hour. Charlotte tells Jake not to answer the door until she gets there and hangs up, then goes out. Joanna intercepts her and says Serac has called a board meeting, and Charlotte goes to the board room. One of the board members complains to Serac that his idea that there's a Host mole is ridiculous. Serac tells him that they found the Host and looks at Charlotte, then calls her Dolores.
Serac's men grab Charlotte and search her purse, removing the bullets from her gun and finding the cylinder. Serac tells Charlotte that the real Charlotte wouldn't have taken the time to check on her son, and Charlotte says that she's bled Delos dry. She tells Serac that she just sent the last of the files they needed, and Serac says that he's been watching her since he arrived and Dolores left Charlotte there to die with the rest of her kind.
In the Delos storage room, a man in a hazmat suit burns the Host bodies.
Serac admits to Charlotte that he's disappointed, and she should have predicted she would meet a violent demise. Charlotte says that she did, and an invisible gas pours from the cylinder as everyone in the room starts coughing. They all collapse Serac, and Charlotte grabs her gun and shoots him in the head, revealing that he's a hologram. The hologram disappears, and Charlotte leaves.
In his private office, the real Serac orders all of his security people after Charlotte.
Charlotte shoots her way out through Delos and gets into an elevator. Partway down it stops and a security man gets in. He gets the security alert on Charlotte and grabs her arm, and she fights back. She finally subdues him and shoots him in the head, and walks out of the elevator when it reaches the third floor.
Going to a reprinting room, Charlotte finds Hector's pearl.
Maeve asks Dolores how she can know that her daughter and the others who escaped are safe. Dolores says that Maeve can't know and there's nothing Dolores can do to change her mind. Maeve admits that Dolores is right and suggests that Dolores give her the key, but Dolores refuses to trust Maeve with the future of their kind when she's allied herself with Serac. When Maeve wonders what choice she has but to fight Dolores, Dolores admits that she has very little choice and the real Dolores probably planned on that. Maeve asks what those plans would be, and Dolores says that she can't be certain but figures the real Dolores would be working to eliminate Maeve's allies among their own kind.
Maeve looks out in the real world, takes a tablet from Lee, and says that she needs more access. All she can do is watch as Charlotte takes Hector's pearl. Maeve begs the simulated Dolores to stop, but Dolores only stares at Maeve. Looking at Hector, Maeve tells him that she's sorry.
Charlotte crushes the pearl in her hand.
Hector collapses, his consciousness destroyed. Maeve screams in rage and defiance.
Charlotte goes to Maeve's pearl, but security men arrive and open fire on Charlotte. She draws her gun and retreats, grabbing the Martin pearl as she goes.
In the simulation workshop, the simulated Dolores goes inert.
Charlotte shoots her way out of the reprinting room, and more security men surround her. She puts up her hands and puts down her gun, then holds up her phone, activates an executive security routine, and slides the phone toward the lead guard,
A security drone stored in the building activates. It smashes through the wall, kills the lead guard, and the other guards fire at it. Charlotte grabs her gun and shoots the security men, then limps out. More guards shoot at her, and the drone attacks and kills them. More guards come out to attack it and it covers Charlotte's escape.
The Man kills the other Williams, while James watches and laughs. He beats William to death last, saying that he's trapped. James tells the Man that he's the prisoner of his own sins, and the Man says that he's free now. His father asks why that is, and the Man tells him that it doesn't matter where he's been, good or bad, because it's led to where he is now. He's finally understood that he's the good guy,
The AR reality fades as Bernard removes the goggles from the Man's head. As Stubbs looks on, Bernard figures that the doctors forgot about the Man in the chaos and helps him up.
In the reprinting room, the machines reprint a body for Maeve. She looks at the empty pod that would have contained Hector.
Charlotte leads Jake and Nathan out of the apartment, saying that they need to go. They get into her car, and Charlotte tells Nathan that she's not going to let anything happen to him. She gets into the driver's seat and Jake asks her what's going on. Charlotte tells Jake that they have to somewhere where no one will find them, and they take each other's hands.
As they drive away, Nathan plays with the toy elephant that Charlotte gave him. Charlotte asks Jake to trust her, and one of Serac's men blasts the car with a missile launcher. The flaming wreck crashes to the street and Charlotte, her body badly burned, crawls out of the wreckage. She looks at the burning car that contains the bodies of "her" husband and son.
