Westworldseason 3 is galloping onto HBO this month, which means it’s time for a whole new season of mystery, intrigue, and episodes that leave you asking, “What the hell did I just watch?” Ahead of the new season premiere, some officialWestworldseason 3 episode titles and very,veryvague synopses have been released. Want to have a go at decoding them? Good luck.
The titles for the first four episodes ofWestworldseason 3 were sent out today by HBO, and they come with strange, one-sentence synopses that read more like poem excerpts than actual summaries of what’s in store. Here they are:

I’ve seen these first four episodes of the season (look for my review this week), but I’m sworn to secrecy as to what this all means. While I’m sure the rabidWestworldfans who love to spend hours playing guessing games on Reddit will be all-in on this, I’ll confess that I’m a little apprehensive about TV shows playing things so close to the vest. Sure, I get it – they want to avoid spoilers. Still, not everything needs to be a super-secret.
These titles come with some new images as well. Don’t worry, they’re not spoilery.
Evan Rachel Woodis back, of course, as Dolores. When we last saw her, she had escaped from the park and was plotting to overthrow humanity. Good for her!Tessa Thompsonalso returns, as “Charlotte Hale.” Of course, she’s not therealCharlotte – the real Charlotte is dead. Dolores built a host version of Charlotte and implanted her with a “pearl” – aka a consciousness. Whose consciousness is it? We still don’t know.
Here’sJeffrey Wrightas Bernard Low, with more beard and less hair. Bernard is a robot – like pretty much everyone else in this damn show at this point – who wants to stop Dolores’s robot uprising. He, too, has escaped the park.
Thandie Newtonas fan-favorite Maeve, one of the few characters who was still in Westworld when season 2 ended. What’s she up to this season? Wait and see.
How about some new characters? There’sAaron Paulas Caleb,Lena Waitheas Ash, andMarshawn Lynchas Giggles. Paul’s Caleb is the main newcomer here, as he finds himself drawn into Dolores’s world.
