Not-Charlotte is entirely taken aback by the fact that she has a son. A hint that the host inside Charlotte’s body has some experience wooing humans, perhaps? The kicker, though, is not just the revelation that Charlotte has a young son, but that this son has apparently been kept off the books as far as Dolores is concerned. He begins asking questions, but Charlotte immediately kisses him. No time to investigate, though, because Charlotte discovers her (ex?) lover Jake inside her house. We follow Charlotte home, but she also begins receiving cryptic voicemail messages that sound like static. He’s an impossibly rich ghost, which makes him all the more dangerous. This is, of course, is Engerraund Serac ( Vincent Cassel), and after some digging Charlotte’s Delos colleague discovers that Serac has wiped himself completely off the internet, but is also the richest man in the entire world-completely anonymously. We then skip ahead a bit to when Not-Charlotte is now back at Delos, but she’s informed that a secret buyer has been snatching up Delos stock for years and now has 38% of the shares-more than anyone else. So she needs this host to pretend to be Charlotte in order to secure Delos for their side.
The host inside Charlotte’s body isn’t too crazy about the fact that she’s been inserted into Charlotte’s body, saying “she tried to kill all of us.” But Dolores explains that the hosts are alone and outnumbered, and without Delos there will never be any more of their own kind beyond the handful that Dolores smuggled out of the park.
For the remainder of the episode the true identity of Not-Charlotte is kept secret, which makes this Charlotte-centric episode all the more intriguing. She does, but we-the audience-don’t get to learn that just yet. Dolores tells her she’s “a creature of beauty and power,” before urging her to remember who she is. “Not-Charlotte” is fearful and confused when she comes online, saying she doesn’t remember who she is. It’s a surprising show of humanity for a character who we’ve seen to be absolutely ruthless over the past two seasons-and it certainly makes an emotional mark on the host inside Charlotte’s body when he/she sees the message later in the episode.īut before that, we watch as this new Charlotte body is built by Dolores once on the mainland. The episode begins with a flashback to the aftermath of the Season 2 finale, as we watch the real Charlotte Hale crawl towards a downed host in the middle of gunfire to record a message “for Nathan.” Later in the episode, we learn that Nathan is Charlotte’s son, and her tearful message expresses regret for leaving him so abruptly before she sings him the song “You Are My Sunshine” one last time.
