But…she is no longer on a horse and we have no reason to believe William and Logan are camping near her homestead. At first glance, it seems she went there from the attack (in which case the Man in Black timeline and the William timeline are concurrent). Moments later, we see her stumble into William and Logan’s camp. She then rides off into the night to escape.
First, at the end of Episode 3, right before Dolores shoots her potential rapist in the barn of her family’s homestead, she has a momentary vision where she sees her attacker as The Man in Black. There are a couple potential violations of this, depending on how you view the edit. Further connection between William and the Man in Black? Recall that both William and Teddy have an encounter with Dolores where she drops a canned good out of her bag and it rolls and they stop it with their feet…this could be viewed at the surface as just a nice parallel between two moments…or was Teddy re-enacting something he was programmed to that was meant to mirror a moment William shared with Dolores many years ago? And note that the Man in Black also mirrored the same “can stopping” action in a third instance. Is she running it at this point? This also fuels my theory that Teddy is a host that was made as an homage to William…the two main “good guys” in Dolores’s life. In Episode 2, we only see Clementine at the brothel when William and Logan first arrive in Sweetwater…no Maeve. Of note, when Mission Control is considering retiring Maeve, they mention that Clementine could take over the brothel because she’s run it before. To note, William and Logan have never interacted or crossed paths with the following people: Teddy, Maeve, The Man in Black, Ford, Bernard, or anyone else working in what I term “Mission Control.” We only see them interact with Dolores, Clementine and (in Pariah) Lawrence. I felt completely lost and resolved to go back and binge watch the first five episodes…and I began to observe some interesting things that largely support a dual timeline narrative…one centering around William and Logan and one for pretty much everything else.Īs I began to track the William and Logan storyline, which was featured in Episodes 2, 4 and 5 (with a brief touchpoint at the end of Episode 3), I noticed something interesting…there are quite a few characters, both in front of and behind the scenes, that NEVER intersect with their storyline.

And even without Dolores and William in play this week, there’s a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it development that all but confirms the two timeline theory.
