![]() Maeve and Caleb watch as the narrative plays out the same as it always has, just with a mobster sheen over it. What's the weapon? When is any of this taking place? Who is the revolutionary that is the key to their future? That's it for Bernard and Stubbs this week, leaving us in a lurch over what exactly is going on there. After she pulls up and the two get out of the backseat, a whole slew of people arrive on what I can only call dirtmobiles - they're snowmobiles outfitted for the desert. After she hands the head to the leader and he questions Bernard a bit, Bernard explains his goal: "There's a weapon buried in these sands. Later, the future-fighter asks Stubbs and Bernard to help her stop a trap with a death laser, pulling up two big mirrors to stop its path so she can drive through and into their secret base. This is enough for her to trust them and take them out to the secret hideout, but she asks them to blindfold and zip-tie themselves first. ![]() After a brief standoff with Bernard and Stubbs, Bernard hands her a bag with the severed head of one of the men he killed inside, complete with a hole that reveals the man was a host. Who is she? We never learn her name, but it's possible that she's Caleb's (Aaron Paul) daughter Jackie, all grown-up, or she's some version of Maeve's (Thandiwe Newton) daughter, but the former is more likely. He shows her the maze and she asks how long they've been with the cause. He tells Stubbs to leave the car and walks out into the road, saying that the woman (Aurora Perrineau) headed toward them in a future vehicle is the key to saving the future. ![]() Stubbs remains oblivious and comes out to the car just as Bernard finishes packing the bodies into the trunk. The sequence is honestly a lot of fun, and Wright as an action hero works really well. The music continues to play as we follow Bernard outside, where he kills two random dudes loitering in the parking lot. The diner and discussion feel a bit like a reference to the Rian Johnson film "Looper," complete with one character being kind of vague about time travel while the other is baffled.īernard steals a butcher knife from the diner counter and goes outside, while Stubbs puts Blondie's "Call Me" on the jukebox. They sit down to order and Bernard explains that he's trying to figure out "which here this is," because he's uncertain which of the many timelines he's actually in. They end up going to the Road's End Diner, an old-fashioned style diner out in the middle of the desert. Bernard reveals that he has a sort of precognition now because he's seen all of the possible timelines, and he gives Stubbs orders based on that, which the other host doesn't understand but finds kind of funny. It doesn't matter what timeline we're in, the butting-heads bromance of Bernard and Stubbs will always be the same, and it's lovely. Stubbs arrives and is thrilled to see Bernard awake, even though they immediately go right back to bickering. ![]() It's clear some time has passed, as Bernard and the room are absolutely covered in dust. ![]()
