William = MIB. It makes sense since there are multiple storylines. Besides, if Dolores is going on her journey all alone, it means that she's having a flashback and thus, William belongs to a different storyline. Everything makes us think it's him: the knife, his sudden behavioural changes, his memory of reading stories as a child and trying to get the meaning out of them, the fact that he married 39 years ago, the MIB remembering Angela, everything points out in William's direction. Moreover, when William entered the Mariposa and Clem went to his room, Maeve was not there, precisely because she was with her daughter.
One thing that bothers me is that out of all the decommissioned hosts in that creepy basement, Hale and Sizemore just happen to choose the one who had a meltdown in the first episode. I love that they bring him back, though. Get hype. If he freaked out just by seeing a picture, I can't think what will happen when he finds himself in another world.
About Bernard, there's one thing that bugs me. How could Bernard have killed Elsie if he was in the room with Theresa when he received a call from Elsie, just moments before she was abducted? False memory? Are there two Bernards? Or is he simply imagining things? Did it ever happen? And if so, is Elsie really dead or just unconscious? Or is she really the replacement Ford was getting ready in the diagnosis facility?
The acting is at its best. Seriously, Anthony Hopkins and Ed Harris are goddamn treasures. They steal every scene they are in. Amazing performances. Hopkins is just bloody amazing.
All in all, good episode in terms of confusion. Let's see how it all evolves with just two episodes to finish the season and with a second in progress. Lots of rewatching to do in between.
