WARNING: The following article contains spoilers for this week's episode of Westworld, "Virtu e Fortuna," which premiered Sunday on HBO.


Westworld is only three episodes into its second season, and it's already trying to reach past the high bar it set for itself with the non-stop puzzles and twists of Season 1. "Virtu e Fortuna" just gave fans an enticing reveal sure to have them talking. We knew the murderous theme park Westworld was one of six owned by DELOS, and a glimpse at samurai warriors in the Season 1 finale assured viewers we'd eventually be taken to Shogun World. But Episode 3's cold open leaped straight into another park, a sort of British Raj World, replicating the period when Britain controlled India.

The episode opens at a garden party in what looks like a Rudyard Kipling story. Everyone wears fashion from the '20s, and one of Westworld's best musical covers yet, a sitar version of The White Stripe's "Seven Nation Army" plays. A man, supposedly human, flirts with a woman at a table, asking why she's so far on the outskirts of the park where it's, apparently, a bit more dangerous.

The two end up back in her room, where she is suddenly wary the park might program a host to pretend to be human to appeal to her. She makes the man prove his humanity by shooting him in the chest. He passes the test, but it should be noted she never takes the test herself. Still, it seems likely she's human, as the two set out for a jungle hunt the next day only to find the hosts at their camp are missing. They stumble onto a tent full of dead humans just as a host opens fire on them.

The hosts of this new park appear to have become just as enlightened and homicidal as their Westworld counterparts. The woman escapes, but is pursued by a Bengal tiger (as seen in the season premiere) and runs past the park's borders. The tiger pursues, and she shoots it just as they both go careening into the sea that apparently divides the two parks. The tiger will be found on the distant shore a few weeks later by Bernard and other DELOS employees.

Counting Westworld and Shogun World — confirmed to exist by series creators Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy, and glimpsed in teasers — there are four other parks known to be a part of DELOS' extensive attractions. Fans have surmised that likely other parks would derive from the original two films. That gives us Medieval World, Roman World and Futureworld as other possibilities.

Basically, any location during a period of depravity and/or moral relativism may make for a great DELOS theme park.

In the final moments of the episode, three parks unite. Maeve and her posse of Hector, Armistice, Felix, Sylvester, and Simon make their way to the northern border of the park near what Simon calls the "Klondike Narrative," which must be some kind of gold-digging in the snow-capped mountains storyline. They come upon an abandoned camp just in time for a sword-wielding host to charge at them. Next, we see the Jungle Park woman — who seems to have survived her encounter with the tiger — as she makes her way to the shores of Westworld, just to be met by unfriendly looking Native Americans.

Of course, this is Westworld, so there's no guarantee this new character isn't on a totally different timeline than everyone else. (Perhaps the hosts have malfunctioned before?) And if she is this season's flashback character (William similarly was introduced after the show was well under way), then how does she connect? She could be William's daughter, for one theory. A man is seen briefly speaking to her at the table she's seated at before her fling-to-be walks over. And he seems to be scoping her out as though he knows who she is. The head honcho's daughter might be someone worth pursuing, whether he's been hired or has his sights on her himself. It would also explain her distrust of the hosts and their ability to play human.

It would be nice if this new character's story with the Ghost Nation Warriors, Westworld's local Native tribe, and helped to flesh them out a bit. So far they've been seen getting scalped by DELOS for info, and Maeve dislikes them for their part in her previous life narrative where they captured her daughter. It would be refreshing if the show twisted on us and decided not to make the tribespeople the obvious (and stereotyped) villains.

Now that we've officially seen two parks and are almost certainly about to see Shogun World in Episode 4, Westworld's eagle-eyed watchers will certainly be looking out for any clues as to what those other three worlds are. Will they go with the original films' suggestions or get creative? Imagine if they took the show to new levels of horror and made one of the parks an actual children's theme park? This could get dark, real fast.

Westworld airs Sundays at 9 p.m. ET/PT on HBO.
