Sure . So I think of the Maze as Arnold ' s method to help the Host reach self actualization or whatever you want to call it . You can ' t just flip a switch on them . You have to lead the host to water and hope they drink . So it ' s like an underground railroad mixed with a scavenger hunt . And it both changes them subtly through command phrases and shows them locations from their past . The idea is that by the end of it , they ' re real boys and girls . And it might take them 400 trips . Kinsey scalp is a big who knows right now . The Maze isn ' t for the MiB , it ' s for the hosts . The MiB wants it for Delores cause his wife is now dead and after seeing Maeve and her daughter ' s real moment , he has hope again that he and Delores can make it work . Those crazy kids . If I had to guess , Kinsey had a passcode phrase that he told the MiB and the scalp itself is both a confirmation code and just a early season mystery symbol for the audience . I also think that when the MiB took Delores to the barn , he gave her a passcode or something that mixed with Violent Delights did something unknown to help her on the path to the Maze . So now the MiB can ' t follow her directly , because it will effect her Maze run . So he ' s tracking it separately to meet her at the end . I think Delores can skip some parts of the Maze because either the MiB gave her a code or because she ' s done it several times before . They ' ll meet up at the white church and due to Ford maneuverings , she ' ll be the adversary to stop the MiB from helping her . She ' s both the damsel and the villain . But that ' s all conjecture .
