This post contains massive spoilers about Westworld.

　　HBO has released the first teaser for Westworld Episode 8, which airs this coming Sunday, November 20. It's a gripping video, which begins with Bernard (who we now know is a robot) asking Dr. Ford why he instructed him to kill Theresa Cullen, his former lover and a higher-up at the park.

　　Ford answers, "One man's life or death is but a small price to pay for the dominion I should acquire." Bernard looks both sad and enraged after hearing this.

　　In another part of the video, the robot Maeve asks park programmers to make some "sophisticated" changes to her--she wants to "get out," presumably of the park and into the real world. We also see Dolores and William reaching a church--Dolores says, "I'm home." William says this place--whatever it is--is not good for Dolores. But she responds by saying that "this is what Arnold wants."

　　Further still, we see the Man in Black discussing his ambition to find out what's at the center of the mysterious maze. "The rules of this place hold you back--but I know how to change them," he says, adding in a reference to Arnold.

　　The identity of Arnold is one of the most enduring and intriguing elements of Season 1. We still don't know much at all about who he is or what happened to him.

　　Westworld Episode 8 is titled "Trace Decay." The official description reads, "Bernard struggles with a mandate; Maeve looks to change her script; Teddy is jarred by dark memories."

　　In other news about Westworld, HBO finally announced that it's renewed the show for a second season.
