Before he can kill her, Jay shoots him and escapes with the outlier.Ĭhristina’s lunch date is none other than Dolores-Hale, who disguises her search for answers as harmless small talk.
A brutal brawl ensues, allowing William to reach the outlier first. William spots Stubbs’ group and activates the speakers throughout the city the frequency from the speaker reverberates through nearby hosts (so literally every pedestrian in their immediate vicinity) and forces them to attack. Dolores-Hale has made hunting outliers a game, which explains Hope’s tearful rant in the episode’s opening minutes. Subplots collide when Stubbs, Jay, and company infiltrate New York City to intercept the same outlier William is hunting. She leaves to meet an “old college roommate” for lunch. Teddy tells her the only way for her to stay safe is to stick to her loop. He then tells her she’s a god (again, not that big of a bombshell). To her surprise (but not ours), it works. She observes how lonely they look and Teddy tells her to change that. When she doesn’t believe him, he proves it to her by having her “make” two random women interact. He tells her that this world is an illusion, a lie. But Teddy instead tells her that what her stalker had told her was true: that she had ruined his life.

Dolores-Hale, irritated and confused, doesn’t understand why her vision hasn’t taken the world as far as she’d hoped. William approaches her, remarking how strange it is for her to be out and about. Forever at Dolores-Hale’s command, dozens of nondescript pedestrians pair up and dance on the streets and sidewalks. A hapless pianist leaves bits of his fingers on the bloody keys as he mindlessly plays song after song. She oversees the goings-on in a busy city street, using her grip on the world to fine-tune everything to her liking.
Meanwhile, a triumphant Dolores-Hale revels in her far-reaching control. She tells him about this character but gets a call from Teddy asking her to leave work as soon as she can. Her overbearing boss, Emmett, interrupts her and asks her to pitch her idea on the spot.
