Episode 6 recap

The previous episode of Westworld Season 4, titled Fidelity, was directed by Andrew Seklir and was written by Jordan Goldberg & Alli Rock. The episode revolved around Charlotte interrogating Caleb's latest host copy to understand why he was the first human outlier. She told him that Frankie was still alive and that he had hours before his host body degraded.

Caleb found a way out of his holding cell and discovered the corpses of a previous host copy of himself who had died while trying to escape. He reached the antenna and sent an apology to Frankie before collapsing. Charlotte revealed that she engineered his escape but was disappointed that his message to Frankie revealed nothing about how the outliers infected the hosts.

Caleb then asserted that the suicidal hosts were merely trying to escape Charlotte's control, so Charlotte killed and replaced Caleb's host. In addition, Bernard and Frankie repaired Maeve's body while transferring her data to a newer host control module.

Bernard warned Frankie that one of her team members was replaced with a host copy, and it was her team leader Jay who attacked her. Jay overheard Caleb's apology, but Maeve stepped in and killed him.

Episode 7 of Westworld Season 4, titled Metanoia, will be directed by Meera Menon and written by Desa Larkin-Boutte and Denise Thé. The episode will be the penultimate one for this season and will see Bernard continue to find hope for the freedom fighters, with Frankie/C and Maeve leading the mission.

With the season finale drawing close, Christina's arc is yet to be determined in this war, alongside Teddy's. This episode will surely set up a powerhouse finale where Christina could overthrow Hale's narrative.

Westworld season 4 consists of eight episodes and is executively produced by J. J. Abrams, Jonathan Nolan, Lisa Joy, Jerry Weintraub, Bryan Burk, Richard J. Lewis, Roberto Patino, Athena Wickham, Ben Stephenson, Denise Thé, and Alison Schapker.

Watch the upcoming episode of Westworld Season 4 on Monday, August 7, on HBO and HBO Max.
