First of all, host Charlotte is overly emotional, which is similar to how Teddy behaved prior to his suicide in season two. At multiple points in the episode, Charlotte attempts to hide her emotions, fighting back tears and pushing away memories as if the host is trying to conceal her true identity.
And second, host Charlotte and Dolores have a unique bond. Not only is Dolores confiding in Charlotte, but she also appears to have 100 percent trust in her. In one scene, Dolores implies that she’s extremely close to the Charlotte host, saying, “No one knows you like I do. No one knows me like you.”
This is probably extremely confusing for longtime Westworld fans, since Dolores doesn’t seem like the kind of gal who would befriend a Delos employee. Still, it’s clear that Charlotte isn’t actually Charlotte, and there’s only one person who Dolores would trust to carry out her master plan. And that person is Teddy.
The James Marsden withdrawal is real. Westworld returns to HBO next Sunday, April 5.
