Westworld: How the Music Unlocks This Week's Big Twist - Vanity Fair

She seems completely unfazed by whatever it is Caleb is going through on the beach. In Episode 3 she claimed to have accessed his file but the profile she showed him out on that pier? That doesn't seem to be the whole story at all. I'm sure Dolores, being who she is, knew exactly what Caleb was when she asked him to join her. "You and I are a lot alike," she told him. "They put you in a cage...most people aren't hard to predict but you, you surprised me. You made a choice."

Serac said that the chaotic aberrations like his brother were "little white spaces" and a "bubble of agency” in The System. Serac told Maeve in Episode 2 that The System was disrupted by the "emergence of someone very dangerous—someone we couldn't predict.” He first assumed it was Maeve and then they both decided it must be Dolores. But what if it’s Caleb? Rehoboam cannot predict Caleb and it cannot predict Dolores. What a team they are, then, flying under the radar.

So what has all this got to do with The Shining? Nolan called the progression of Caleb's trip a "Shyamalan movie" waiting for its twist. Both The Shining and Shyamalan’s best movies come with a revelation that our hero is not who we think he is. Maybe that hero has been dead this whole time, or eternally at the Overlook hotel, or a superhero whose only weakness is water. That kind of revelation would certainly apply to this moment for Caleb who appears to be some Manchurian Candidate/Jason Bourne-like figure. A sleeper agent who, like Dolores in Season 1, is just waking up.

Either that or Westworld just wanted us to think about waves of blood.
