"Westworld," Episode 8: Maeve, the Man in Black, and Backstories Galore

Going into "Trace Decay," the eighth episode of "Westworld," some fans held out hope that Sidse Babett Knudsen's clever performance as the theme-park underboss Theresa Cullen wasn't at an end. Yes, last week, Theresa died--brutally and with lots of blood spatter, and with Anthony Hopkins's Ford smirking from the corner. The killer was her softhearted colleague and former lover, Bernard, who was unmasked as a robotic cup-bearer built by Ford. But in "Futureworld," the 1976 sequel to the original "Westworld" movie, the Delos corporation, bent on world domination, replaced humans with robotic clones. Could Theresa survive, in some form, to scheme another day?
