Westworld Wiki

"The Original"[]

Following the upgrade of ten percent of the Westworld hosts population, Bernard discovers code for Ford's reveries ("A whole new class of gestures.") in some of the hosts, including in Clementine Pennyfeather. He believes that the additions make the hosts look far more real. When some unscheduled activity in sub-level B83 is detected, Bernard agrees to investigate with the head of security, Ashley Stubbs. There, they find that one of the hosts, Old Bill, has been reactivated by the Park Director, Robert Ford. Bernard informs Ford that there have been complications with some of the upgrade, but doesn't directly accuse Ford of adding the Reveries code.

Bernard later investigates a bar in the theme park, where one of the hosts has been exhibiting a higher level of violence than expected. Theresa Cullen informs him that the hosts that were upgraded must be recalled and analyzed before anything else can happen. Bernard agrees, but is reluctant to inform the doctor of his mistakes. Ford appears unperturbed by the news, and tells Bernard that Humans were made to make mistakes.

When the planned bloodbath in Sweetwater unfolds, Bernard works with the team to recall and rollback all the upgraded hosts. During this, he discovers that the host playing Peter Abernathy has been behaving unnaturally. He asks Ford personally to investigate due to his knowledge in the field. Worryingly, he witnesses the host relive its previous settings, including a time when it was quoting Shakespeare. Due to this malfunction, Bernard agrees to have the host decommissioned and replaced with another.[1]​​
