Season 4 Recap and Unresolved Storylines

Season 4, titled ‘The Choice’, sees Tessa Thompson’s character, Charlotte Hale, seizing control of Delos and subsequently the world. She replaces world leaders with obedient hosts and unleashes a bioengineered virus that renders humans unable to defy her commands. Meanwhile, Evan Rachel Wood’s character, Christina, a video game writer, discovers that the non-player characters she handles are actually subdued humans. Host William, portrayed by Ed Harris, instigates a war between liberated humans and hosts, while Bernard (played by Jeffrey Wright) and Maeve (portrayed by Thandiwe Newton) attempt to prevent the impending catastrophe.

The season concludes with Hale uploading Christina’s consciousness into the Sublime, a digital paradise, at Bernard’s request. There, she realizes that she is a reprogrammed and the last true version of Dolores. With humanity on the brink of extinction, Dolores decides to simulate “one last game” in the Sublime to determine if any beings, human or host, can be preserved in the “new world.”
