That was my question when watching the preview. It is either Theresa or Elsie.
Interesting, but I think it is a bit of a stretch. Is the main reasoning because of the scene where he tells Delores he wants her to go through the maze? I think that maybe Bernard was, at one time a real human who was the head of programming, but he started to test Ford and was questioning his motives. And that made Ford perform his "blood sacrifice" where he kills the human but creates the host to act exactly as the person, but just programmed to basically be a Ford puppet. Something that could happen to Theresa now. But that could be a stretch, as well.
The scene in the house last week where Ford shows Bernard a picture of him and his dad. We see it from Bernard's perspective and the photo only shows Ford and his dad but really Arnold is in the photo too but Bernard can't see him just like he couldn't see himself on the blueprints last night.
Exactly. We are seeing the photo from Bernard's perspective. He can't see himself in this photo.
So it's an assumption? I guess my question more is, what is the significance to that? Other than the fact that Ford has programmed the hosts to not be able to see Arnold, hence why Arnold can only communicate through their "subconscious"
Definitely. It's just a theory.
Bernard was programmed so he cannot see anything that would "hurt" him according to Ford last night. This is why Bernard could not see himself on the schematics. The theory takes it further and says Bernard could not see himself in the photo because it would "hurt" him. So Bernard is a host that looks like an Arnold replica.
Some of the acting in this has just been superb. I watch shows like this and then cannot even watch some of the network TV fare. Leaves slim pickings for shows I can bear to watch.

I had that moment right before he said that. For some reason, just as they walked into the room, and just before she started fiddling with the door, it hit me that when he was in the house before, and the robot family continued to advance on him despite his attempts to shut them down, it was because he was a robot too-- therefore they could harm him with impunity.
I am leaning towards it too, but why do you think so from lastnights episode? I was a bit sleepy so there werent a ton of aha moments for me.
Lesser Known Hemsworth might be catching on too. The conversation he had with Bernard definitely threw up some red flags.
