Better haul in the jib before it gets covered in shit . <| sep |> Maeve ' s plan to escape ? Dolores and William ? All cleverly designed subplots in Ford ' s big narrative . I had been thinking the same thing . But Dolores ' freakout in the last episode definitely has changed my mind at least for her part of the equation , if we are assuming the TTF theory is true . Ford fucking everything up with Maeve makes a little sense because a he ' s clearly at least a little crazy , and b he ' s in a war with Delos . But what reason would he have for fucking with everything with Dolores 30 years ago ? Arnold is supposedly dead if he ' s somehow still alive , it seems Ford doesn ' t know it , and he ' d be in near total control of the park , with no one like Delos to fight with . In fact , his only fight at the time would seem to be the fight to keep the park and his life ' s work alive . which probably wouldn ' t be served well if people start thinking the robots are going crazy and could be dangerous .
