Tonight's installment of Westworld revealed quite a lot about Delos as we learned that not only is the corporation data mining the park's guests, it's also using the park's hosts to experiment by putting human consciousness inside host bodies, so that they can essentially live forever. It was also revealed that last week's mystery woman was, in fact, the Man in Black's (Ed Harris) daughter, Emily. Plus, Bernard (Jeffrey Wright) remembered that he was the one who massacred all those techs, a fact that he chose to keep a secret from Elsie (Shannon Woodward).

Next week, we take a trip to Shogun World as the plot thickens and our heroes and villains reach the midway point in their latest endeavors.

Watch the new promo for episode five, titled "Akane No Mai," below:

Plus, here's a new featurette for tonight's episode:

HeavyMetal4Life - 5/14/2018, 9:14 PM

ALegendaryPanda - 5/13/2018, 8:56 PM

Fantastic episode tonight & next week looks even better!

JaKBaLLTV - 5/13/2018, 9:36 PM

mind blown tonight

Like everyone else said, tonight's episode was the best of the season, for sure. The Man in Black and the Bernard storylines are just more interesting than Dolores' so far.

Also, I heard the next episode will be completely in Japanese and will have subtitles all throughout.

HeavyMetal4Life - 5/14/2018, 9:13 PM

@L0RDbuckethead - totally agree. The Man in Black is my favorite character but Bernard has been great this season. And damn that final scene with the huge twist, shit!!

Doomsday8888 - 5/14/2018, 3:53 AM

The final twist wasn't really a twist for me, kinda thought about that while i was watching the previous episode, and they made it too obvious with the recap and basically each time the MiB was talking about his daughter, c'mon man...

Other than that, it was a really good episode.
