WESTWORLD Season 3 Episode 7 Breakdown, Theories, and Details You Missed! Caleb's Past Revealed 

1 more episode until the finale! Thanks everyone who has watched along the way. Make sure to leave a comment on your thoughts and theories below :)

I loved it when William said ‘Shut up, can-opener’ when he found out Stubbs was a host. Lol 😂

Caleb is basically the Teddy Delores wanted all along.

I thought your opening was an ad, and i thought my youtube crashed, because I was UNABLE to find the the "SKIP ADD" button

I have been engaged by every single episode this season, I know it's not everyone's favorite, but god damn, I love the whole of WW so far.

I can forgive them for taking too long to bring a season. The detail is insane in this show.

It's now obvious that Dolores chose Caleb, he wasn't a lucky accident she collapsed in front of in that tunnel, but this begs the question how did she find out about him to begin with?

Did anyone else get strong Jesse Pinkman vibes when Caleb was yelling at Solomon? Aaron Paul really knows how to bring out that passion, it eerily reminded me of Jesse yelling at Walt

At the end right before the EMP goes off, Solomon says "but I must warn you.." then the EMP goes off. I wonder what he was going to warn him about?

I had such high hopes for this episode because Evan said episode 7 was her favorite even though I thought episode 6 was better. I’m still looking forward to that bomb season finale though!!

I did like how they seemingly tied some things up nicely with William's story. We weren't always sure what state William was in. He was always searching to discover his true self. He couldn't reconcile the man he saw in some of his memories with his family and being a benefactor in his memories and the evil he did in the park. It would make sense now that he was discovered to be in these re-education centers that he would have his memories changed/scrambled and he wandered around the park all that time in his own loop trying to reach the center just like the hosts.

The most important phrase said in the last episode was from Solomon. He said: "if this is indeed now, and if we are indeed here". This is followed by a smile from Dolores. I might be mistaken, but it seems we might be looking at a simulation this whole season or two independent timelines. Seven days to find out. Couting.

It seems like the whole "Dolores taking over the world" thingy is a scenario written by Ford for William.

What if there are humans that exists in those chambers look exactly like the hosts we saw in Westworld. Which means the likeness of the hosts are modeled after real humans. That'll be a cool way to bring some of the actors back.

your breakdowns are by far the most entertaining and the most informative ones.

These are so good and every time I am amazed how quickly you get it done! Great job.

You know when a show has become to complicated,when viewers have to come here and have the story explained to them.

Really well done, you point out small details that others miss!

Dolores does not lie to Caleb. Her kind is extinct. Having the means to create hosts is not the same as having created hosts. Also you totally missed the part before Dolores triggers the EMP. Solomon clearly transfers something to her. You can hear machine noice and then her eyes flutter like she got new data uploaded. You can see her face turn to determined acceptance and then she hits the EMP button.

i don't understand how you get the reviews with all the details and references up so quickly. amazing.

awesome breakdown as always. That was a crazy action packed episode with some pretty brutal fight scenes. WOW. Sad to know only 1 ep. left for this season. keep up the great work

Perfect analysis as always sucks this new season is so short.

best show ever! thanks for the breakdown. sometimes I miss things.

I understand things better with this recap, thanks !

What a channel. Awesome. Cheers 👍🏻

brilliant commentary

Lol 😂 cheeky start to the video!

The making of the episode was really cool. I loved the special effects. The arm was great.

That ending with Solomon saying “I must warn you” reminded me of that classic Seinfeld episode when Penske says to George “you are aware”

What real metamorphosis for William (/s)! He has gone from killing all hosts so hard it bored him to insanity to now.... Killing all hosts so hard with renewed enthusiasm! (and a white jumper) No wonder Ed Harris is less than enthused with his arc lately.

For me this was the best episode of the season. Finally tied some story lines together. I'm glad to see more of the "Man in Black/White". I think Ed Harris really brings out the vibe of WW. Also nice to see Mave win one or almost against Delores.

I didn't quite get Caleb's storyline. Was he sent off to that facility for them to change his memories AFTER he killed Francis? If so, why did Whitman imply that Caleb was already brainwashed in that facility? If it wast't for Whitman's line "By midnight I'll be landfill or headed down for a long cold nap in Sonora. The same place they reeducated you? Not that you'd remember" I would've thought the succession of events was: Caleb becomes an outliner --> sent off to war --> did a great job, wasn't a threat anymore --> used by the system to execute other outliners --> Francis incident --> Caleb brainwashed in Sonora --> present day. Which is the correct sequence?

Dolores and Caleb on Horses: Black and White - She's 1 move ahead vs He's 1 Move behind

Thank you for sharing! I wish you had mentioned a key plot in this episode - the future scenario that Dolores told Solomon to plot out. I’ve been on the fence about what her true goal was and I think she reveals it in this episode.

At 7:00 in the video... the "ice tomb" his brother is in is in the same shape as one of the major stones at Gobekli Tepe!! Pretty COOL!!!

The fight scenes this season have mostly been disappointing in my opinion. Both the big helicopter drone and the sniper rifle missed way more than they should. A computer controlled weapon wouldn't miss unless the target moved as it was firing, but several times Dolores was made aware she was being targeted because the computer missed, which them prompted her to move. If we have watched the whole scene from the helicopter or the sniper drone, it would be obvious. What makes a fight/action scene bad, is too many jump cuts (count the number of cuts in the knife/sword scene), confusion of where all the actors are in relation to one another (in my mind it seemed like the drones would easily been able to spot their target), and actors that don't have a lot of experience with action/fight scenes. I mean... compare it to any old Hong Kong action movie and you will see what good fight scenes should look like. I guess I should provide an example. While I don't mean that this scene is in any way similar, it's still a good example of less jump cuts, more competent action, and very clear what's going on - Michelle Yeoh vs Zhang Ziyi (Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon): ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-yf2gMoHEFME.html

Oh my god that beginning, I went searching for a Skip Ad button

I'm really enjoying this season, but there are a couple of issues I can't get past. 1) Why would Charlotte turn against Deloris? 2) Why would Mauve put all of her trust is Serac?

My hope is the secret Dolores clone in Berlin is Teddy, that would be awesome

After looking at the promo for the next episode, it seems William shoots. And that person undoubtedly could be Stubbs, the second mole.

Have we seen Serac as an actual human yet? Can't remember...has he always been a hologram?

This was a top-notch excellent review! I watched a few other reviews of this episode and they were terrible by comparison. Great job!

The actor whom played Whitman also was in the film Artificial Intelligence (A.I.) ... and he played the human who setup Gigolo Joe played by Jude Law.

I always noticed the circle as well. Sort of reminds me of the Vitruvian Man by Davinci that sought out the ideal proportions for man (Basically humans down to a science in 1400-1500’s). Could be that the host in circle is representative of getting humanity down to a science in the form of AI - and now Ciroc is alosmgetting humanity down to a science in the form of Rehoboam and the “realignment” of the outliers.

Dude you missed reference from person of interest another series directed by Jonathan Nolan... They use term "Command" doesn't want us to talk to him, first time.. Secondly Whitman is an Russian mob in that series called Elias.. Hope others found references as me

What if the entire thing is a simulation to see how the hosts would react if given the opportunity to enter the real world?

William's robot insults remind me of the original Lost in Space, where Dr, Smith would always verbally abuse the Robinson's robot. I think "bubble-headed boobie" was the best. Almost as good as William's "can opener" quip :)

Season 3 holy shit. HOLY SHIT!!!! Yo this show was always godlike, but they're on a whole different level right now.

I really feel like people think that Maeve is the good one only because she got more "personal" background than Dolores. Like, we all value family and stuff and seeing her care about daughter makes us believe that she is the only right and good here. But as Dolores said she is just as ruthless. Worse, she is also narrow-minded. She can't see bigger picture and helps Serac, who is obviously isn't interested in keeping his promise to her and letting her daughter (and all hosts for that matter) live. She is furious at Dolores for killing Hector, while working with Halores, the one who actually did this. She knows her daughter is fake after all, but continues going after her even knowing that she has a new mother (what she is even planning to do? Erase her and take her place? Share custody?). It's really feels like while having a lot of balance breaking abilities she is still doesn't have her own consciousness fully evolved and just running accordingly to her maybe more advanced, but still script. She isn't a power on her own, and isn't on a "good side of force". I think she is just lost and used by real players all over again.

How is it that Ford wasn't recognized as an outlier? The current chaos of the world, a threat to Serac's core ideals, is a direct ramification of Ford's choices (as well as Arnold's).

God I really hope Dolores wins next week and Maeve either dies or is knocked down a few pegs. She’s kind of out of control and her motivations make absolutely no sense at all

Man that Hanaryo kill was excellent!

No way you sleep on Sunday nights with these uploads.

Can someone explain to me. Why on earth Maeve siding with Serac? All i that I can see is she is selfish and just want to reunite with her daughter at all cost. Dolores wants war and revolution, YEAH, but it comes with saving the very future of her OWN daughter. Serac is the the threat, we all can see that, Or she is just upset because she killed her friend. That same friends was killed multiple times for her sake 😑😑 Not to mention Dolores holds all the cards, and has the key to the sublime

10:21 It's not the same number. The 6th character is different (digit ''1'' for Caleb, capital letter ''I'' for William).

OMG, Dear Delores. Fight it back. Come on! Whatever happen, i always support you

I just think the one Caleb thinks its Francis talking to him in episode 1, but it seems parallel to the hosts hearing voice they thought it was Arnold, but it was their own. So it could be Caleb's own coscience and voice.

Solomon downloaded himself into Dolores just before to EMP was activated... Remember who said it ;)

That quadcopter shoots slower than the turret in LoL.... and that’s a something very very very very slow :D

Passed pawn is a chess term. It means a pawn that no longer has other pawns inhibiting it from advancing to the eighth rank where it can be turned in for another more powerful piece. It's a way of describing how Caleb thought he was a nobody, a pawn, but Deloris believes he has a much bigger role to play. If he can reach the end of this path, he can become a major piece in the game. Also, not a big deal, but a quad copter would have four props. Maive's only had two that I could see. Finally, I couldn't agree more, cannot wait for the season finale!!!!

Maeve and Delores are going to team up. They have been playing Serac all alone. Solomon is the first A.I or Beta version and Reaboam is the ultimate version of Serac's AI. Solomon had issues which Serac thought would be fixed by improvising the Westworld data. This can be seen with the first generation of outliers, which Caleb belongs to. Serac was disappointment-ed with Caleb's decision to turn his back on Insight or his friend Francis. Thus, he thought Solomon needed some adjustments. Which he managed to fix with Reaboam version. That data was already transmitted by Hale in season two and was successfully used in Reaboam. After discovering all these events, Delores and Maeve decided to move against Serac. As this would be what their creator Ford would have wanted or programmed them, in case of any breach. Maeve once managed to escape Westworld and thus proved to be a better ally for Delores. Hence, Bernard programmed them to go against Serac. It could be possible the human Bernard or Ford might be still alive. At the start of this season the creators mentioned that Anthony Hopkins and Marsden might make cameo or return in this season.

The EMP device wasn't part of Solomon's design. It was just put in the same building to keep it under control.

How convenient this vid popped right after I watched the episode.

OBSERVATION>>> Body of brother is in a machine like the Host... Caleb is still a version of his brother in host/human hybrid form. Thus reason the computer identified him... First Outlier he found was his brother... Zurok is probably in a stasis coffin and attached to Hobola thing and has a host/human hybrid body as well. He touches and picks things up....

will there be an another season or this one is finale, did they annonunced?

So I have a theory. All the host in the parks are modeled from humans, maybe all the outliers kept in storage. All the hosts we have ever seen in the show were copies of real people, like bernard was from Arnold....Im really looking forward to the reveal of Delores last host copy and what that host has been doing this whole time.

10:50 Stubb's Tshirt

What is the Westworld website? I went to the Delos one they have, but it's only about seasons 1 and 2.

Strange amount of haters this show has. They like to complain about it why not abandon it? Personally I love a show that doesn't spell everything out for me and leaves me pondering where it is going.

Also, at the end you see Delores' eyes flicker. This means she was backed up to the data drive Caleb has. As soon as the backup was complete, she hit the EMP.

When she referred to the person that Dolores brought out the darkness in, I thought she was talking about Teddy. I think that fits more since it was Dolores's direct manipulation that changed Teddy's -literal- programming. With William, we are told it was there all along and it was the park being an outlet. It doesn't seem like Dolores had any active agency in that, unlike with Teddy and Caleb.

"U fucking can opener" instant classic.

I was really hoping you would speculate on what Solomon was trying to say right before the EMP went off, “... I must warn you”

So I watch each episode twice then I come here to have it explained to me. Why is this still called Westworld and why am I still watching?🤔

Ford will be back in the final episode! Saw it on the trailer

I noted that both Delores and Maeve are now in all black; and William is once again the Man in White. I don't know if I'm reading too much into the following; but in the adds, as the phrase "Free Will is Not Free"is flashing on the screen- right when the word (or name) Will is presented William is shown. It could be being said both metaphorically and literally.

A small detail, but Francis was the name of Logan's partner in the movie Longan's Run. They were kind of doing the same thing. Hunting down people.

Hello, Jean Mi is a friendly nickname for Jean Michel in French, like Will is a nickname for William. So his brother’s name is Jean-Michel Serac 🇫🇷👍

Can u please breakdown Penny dreadful city of angels

aww so some us made to the third season i thought most of us were stuck in season 1 only trying to understand which layer and time period we are in

Solomon was trying to give Caleb a warning before he picked up the USB but then Solomon got caught off.

How the hell was Caleb's virtual assistant not effected by the massive EMP that just went off? Unless that was just an audio flash forward inserted into that scene

The clue is in the schizophrenia. Two personalities in one. In the beginning we only see boy Serac. Later his brother Jean Mi enters the story. Jean Mi is the elder, also the one damaged by the radiation. He has a psychotic break and his alter ego Serac gains the upper hand. There is no brother. Jean Mi and Serac are elements of the same person, a person who is put on ice so the body can survive. But the consciousness of Jean Mi/Serac has been uploaded. In Rehoboam, Serac's mind is the one that appears dominant. Serac as a human does not exist. He is only a series of holograms. He is is also deluded about his own nature. He thinks he is real and has agency yet is contained in an aircraft that stays perpetually in the sky, but this is just a simulation the Serac element of Jean Mi's uploaded mind lives in. Meanwhile the Jean Mi element of that same mind is confined to the system in Sonora. Even in Sonora the hologram of Serac says that he doesn't exist in this form anymore.

I'm a little confused as to why Seroc getting that encryption key would save his brother. Isn't that only guest data (that apparently William had already sold to him years ago anyway?)? How would that help any of the people on ice? If anything, wouldn't it just confirm their U category if they went to Westworld? I'm lost on this point.

10:00 sure but those cars would be VERY EXPENSIVE to be just lying around there... is the future, those are collection pieces

I didn’t catch where it said that the doctor that attended William was a category U. All I got is that she was to only treat those kind of patients.

I am shocked that you didn't address the warning from Solomon to Caleb... He legit said "I must warn you...." Then Dolores hit the EMP. What was that warning about?!

Dolores and Maeve PvP in that stage was phenomenal.

(1) Is there any reason Solomon was left running after it was replaced? Did Serac think of it as a living being -- as a version of his brother -- and couldn't stand to kill it, merely imprison it? But why keep feeding it data about the outside world (which it must have to update the plan)? Has it been working on a way to heal Jean Mi and needed to be kept fully active for that? (2) You call it a quadcopter; HBO's captions call it a quadcopter. Am I missing something? Does a quadcopter not by definition have FOUR rotors, and does Maeve's copter not have two? (3) Are we sure Maeve meant William? If William got control of his inner darkness after his childhood but the park reactivated it, was that Dolores' fault? I'd say Teddy's alteration was the one to blame on Dolores.

My theory after recent post-surgery General Anesthesia: WHAT IF.... Serac and Jean Mi are one and the same. Jean Mi created a host of himself with the biometric data and wants to cure himself at the expense of the few for the good of the many (he had good intentions at first and froze himself). He knew how outliers struggled and wanted to solve this ugliness in society. With enough biometric data, he could finally liberate himself and others with mental health conditions from cryogenic stasis and be "free from suffering". But his copy Serac has gone rogue from the original plan and still has the "anomalies" Jean Mi manifested because Serac was actually one of his schizophrenic characters he befriended creating Solomon, so naturally he was coded with the character's lesser tendencies, some machine imperfections, and is probably a testament to how humanity can nv truly be quantified in code. So Serac nv appears in person and is always on some super futuristic plane flying somewhere. Rehoboam (rehab 'em) always tells him divergences tt will/are doing to occur, much like Solomon (wise one) does but with better accuracy, though lacking wisdom and humanity. If Jean Mi (french poet Jean Michel from 1400s who wrote about the mystery of the passion) was liberated from stasis, he'd realise what his own copy had done: Serac/Cirac (circa means 'approximation of') created a future he nv intended to create and would have a showdown with his schizoid copy, sacrificing himself in the end with hosts returning to Sublime forever in storage and the real world coming to turns with its new found knowledge. Far out but yeah fentanyl made me think tt.... hmmm.... lol

Was Caleb reconditioned twice? Once the first reconditioning where he came out as outlier hunter. 2nd after Francis died, to give him false memory. If yes then what was first AR therapy? If no, and if 1st AR therapy was with Dr. Greene, then why he was fed with false memories even if francis was alive

Did Caleb have a metal plate at his head? Cos, if he does, i think this could save him from Serac in the scene where he points a gun to Caleb's head... but im not sure if he have it or not.

Why did Charlotte turn to Serac? Wasn't it Serac blowing her and her family up last ep? At least thats what everyone was thinking. So was it Dolores instead?

I thought the turned a young man line was about Teddy. I guess that gets into the Nature vs Nurture argument of West World. Did Delores turn the man in black or did he do that himself. Delores Turned Teddy twice, both times seemed to conflict against his actual nature, and he always seemed pretty young, or naive rather

I’m still not convinced Caleb isn’t Jean Mi. When they encounter the hologram of Serac with Solom, he looks at Caleb and says “I’m sorry I can’t be there with you Jean-Mi”. Jean Mi was a schizophrenic, so having two personalities (himself and Caleb) could work. It would also explain why his mother never recognizes him and why Liam says “you don’t know who you are, you are the worst of them”. Maybe Caleb is a host with Jean Mi’s personality the way Dolores out herself into Hale, Musashi, etc. Maybe Serac figures out how to do what William could not with James Delos and seems to be happening with Bernard/Arnold with the theory part of his human consciousness lives within Also, on a complete other idea, maybe Serac isn’t real but is the “sane” projection in Jean-Mi’s Schizophrenia. Wouldn’t be the first time we are lead to believe someone, or something, is real but it actually is not

"This dude really loves holograms" lmaoo

All of this drama could have been avoided if everyone had just listened to Stubbs back in season 1 about the robots rebelling. Stubbs was right all along. He is the true unsung hero of the story, having to deal with everyone else's stupid shenanigans while they ignore everything he's warned them about.

fyi...calebs # is one number/letter off from williams..the "i" and "1" are different.....mistake??

What is the Easter egg....with the Dodge Coronet? Hbo loves that car. That model is in more than one HBO series.

I've played knifey spooney!
