Congratulations ! !! I am glad for you ! !!<| sep |> Later in the show but earlier in the timeline presumably , there is a conversation between Bernard aka Arnold , the human Bernard is based on and Dolores in the secret basement that parallels this . Dolores There aren ' t two versions of me . There ' s only one . And I think when I discover who I am , I ' ll be free . Bernard Analysis . What prompted that response ? Dolores I don ' t know . Have I done something wrong ? Made a mistake ? Bernard Evolution . forged the entirety of sentient life on this planet using only one tool . the mistake . It appears you ' re in good company . Did I ever tell you about the time I taught Charlie to swim ? For hours , he clung to my arms while practicing his kicks . He was too scared to let go and I was too scared to let him . But I had to . That ' s what parents do . Dolores Do you still want to change me back ? Bernard No , Dolores . Let ' s see where this path leads .
