Interesting Beginning For Episode 3. Where Will It Lead? Possible Spoilers!

Good guess wearsaian! Didn't think of that. Perhaps you're right. THAT would be interesting.

I agree. Bravo! I’m rewatching the episode, and she shares Black William’s grace under pressure (which was Ernest Hemingway’s definition of “courage”), lust and corporate bearing. She is enormously attractive, but not a blandly “beautiful” Kewpie Doll, has a body to die for (a pun: in Elizabethan England, “to die” was slang for “to cum,” as when King Lear, being led to his death, bravely declared, “I will die as willingly as any bridegroom.”), and is athletic as all get-out.

Ding Ding Ding Ding! And we have a winner! Bravo! The last line of episode 4 of Season 2 confirms that she is Black William’s daughter: “Hi, Dad.” To me, this was the best episiode so far, and arguably the best episode I’ve seen in any premium streaming entertainment service, ever. Black Bill’s wife killed herself. His daughter, one presumes, hates her father for driving her mother to suicide; yet she is her father’s daughter, has his skill set (is fluent in Ghost Nation language and fighting/surviving/networking, for example). I am thrilled that Elise is still alive. I have always thought that she was a very down-to-Earth and valuable asset both to the series and to Delos, and am rewarded in my loyalty to this series that neither she nor Stubbs have been forgotten by the narrative. In this episode, we learned that Ford created what we are seeing now as a dangerous and exciting game, and, one presumes, wrote his own assassination/suicide into the game; therefore, Dolores may not be the progenitor of the energy-shift in the parks. She may still be a puppet. I am keeping an open mind. I have no hypotheses. I am just going to ride this thing, and see where it goes. But I really love Black William’s daughter!
