Intricate and perplexing, \'The Passenger\' left us with plenty of questions – head-scratchers that we\'re hoping it\'ll answer in a third season.

But it also left us pondering several rather large plot holes, gaffes so glaring we\'re not sure the show will ever be able to resolve them. Seriously, some of these gaps in logic are larger than the Door at the Valley Beyond...

\'s season two opener, memorably closed with an amnesiac Bernard and the Delos security team stumbling upon a lagoon filled with hundreds of dead hosts – among them, Teddy (James Marsden).

Teddy\'s fate is resolved in 2x09, \'Vanishing Point\' – all torn up inside about how Dolores (Evan Rachel Wood) has reprogrammed him to become a ruthless killer, Teddy takes his own life in front of her.

The problem is, he does this in a totally different part of the park. We never see Dolores move his body (why would she bother anyway?) so how exactly did Teddy\'s corpse get from point A to point B?

Last we saw of Logan in the first season, William had left him naked and tied to a horse. He\'s discovered, an unspecified amount of time later, by Akecheta (Zahn McClarnon), as seen in season two episode eight, \'Kiksuya\'. By this point, he\'s badly burned and delirious.

He certainly appears to be in no fit state to get up and find his own way out of Westworld. Yet the next time we check in with Logan is in \'The Passenger\', when we witness his last conversation with his father James Delos (Peter Mullan) – six months after which, Logan died of a drugs overdose.

So how did the battered and unstable Logan, totally alone in the park, find his way home?

3. Why did Dolores change her mind about Host heaven?

In \'The Passenger\', Bernard opens "the door", a giant system transfer device which allows the Hosts to upload their personalities into "the Sublime" – a virtual world inaccessible to humans (essentially Host heaven).

But Dolores is not a fan – she rejects the Sublime, arguing that it is just another false reality designed to control the hosts. She begins purging the Forge of the guests\' stored memories and engages the override system to flood the valley, but is shot by Bernard (Jeffrey Wright), who stops the purge.

Later, after witnessing Hale (Tessa Thompson) murder Elsie (Shannon Woodward), Bernard builds a new Host body for Dolores\'s control unit, one that looks just like Hale.

But murdering the real Hale, Dolores apparently has a complete change of heart – she uses a satellite uplink to transfer the escaped Hosts and the Sublime to a secret location, sending Teddy\'s digital \'soul\' along with them.

Why the complete 180° turn? Was it just born out of guilt over her tinkering with Teddy, and his subsequent suicide? Or a way of thanking Bernard for restoring her?

Speaking of the moment where \'Halores\' – Dolores in a fake Hale body – brutally guns down the real Hale, what happened to the Delos board director\'s corpse?

It\'s never established how or where Dolores disposed of Hale\'s body, but surely she must have? She couldn\'t exactly leave it lying around for the Delos security patrols to find. Maybe Stubbs (Luke Hemsworth), who we\'re now pretty sure is a Host, was able to sneak off and move Hale\'s body. But if he did, Dolores definitely didn\'t know about it – she seemed as surprised as the audience by the reveal of the his true allegiance.

Maybe Hale\'s remains will be uncovered next season, tipping off Delos Inc that the figure who left the island wasn\'t the genuine article? But for now, we\'re labelling this a plot hole.

pilot, we see the Man in Black (Ed Harris) arrive at Dolores\'s house, \'kill\' both her father (Louis Herthum) and Teddy, before dragging her off to the barn. We don\'t see what happens next, but we can assume it was unpleasant.

This season, in 2x09 \'Vanishing Point\', Juliet (Sela Ward) – the older William\'s wife – kills herself, devastated after discovering her husband\'s true nature. This reveal comes courtesy of a data card that Ford (Anthony Hopkins) gave to William, detailing all of his visits to Westworld, which Juliet finds.

One of the sins Juliet witnesses is William\'s attack on Dolores in the barn. Fine, except the attack only happened because of MiB\'s discovery of \'The Maze\', which he first came across after \'killing\' Maeve (Thandie Newton) and her daughter – an act that William had previously told Teddy he carried out immediately

It\'s all a bit confusing, but basically, the Man in Black attacked Dolores in the barn

his wife\'s suicide. So how can it be one of the factors contributing to it? Are we to understand that the barn assault took place more than once, under different circumstances? Or that William was lying to Teddy? If it\'s the latter, it\'s unclear what he would have to gain.

6. What\'s the deal with Maeve\'s mind control?

standards, this one\'s a thinker, so bear with us.

Midway through the second season, Maeve developed the power to control other Hosts, apparently through the mesh network controlling them all. "All hosts have a subconscious link to the closest hosts around them," Bernard explains to Charlotte. "It lets them pass basic information to one another, like ants in a colony."

Maeve gains this ability from the virtual Ford, carried to within Bluetooth distance of her by Bernard.

Later, this code is copied from Maeve to a resurrected Clementine (Angela Sarafyan), who is now also able to control Hosts at Hale\'s command. In \'The Passenger\', the two telepaths meet at the Valley Beyond – Hale uses Clementine to turn the escaping Hosts against each other, while Maeve uses her power to fight back, halting the Hosts and giving her daughter time to escape.

Why did Maeve only use her powers in the final seconds of the Valley Beyond skirmish? Why allow Hector (Rodrigo Santoro), Armistice (Ingrid Bolsø Berdal) and Hanaryo (Tao Okamoto) to die? And why didn\'t she just duck? Could have bought a few minutes there, when every second counted.

Hale and the Delos troops are racing to the Valley Beyond, to stop the Hosts before they can cross over into the Sublime. Clementine is key to their strategy, since she can control the other Hosts.

So, given that they\'re in a bit of a rush, why on Earth is Clementine on a horse? Surely they want to get her to the Valley ASAP? Hale and the troops are all riding in all-terrain vehicles, so why isn\'t Clementine? Surely that\'d be faster, especially as Hale is explicitly impatient with their progress?

, and it\'s all about the imagery ("behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him," etc) but logically it doesn\'t make a lick of sense.

8. Why don\'t Delos have a better system in place for tracking Hosts?

Yes, there\'s the scan for the explosive safeguards in their necks. But that\'s hardly foolproof. Hosts can be made without these explosives, like Maeve was when she reprinted her body.

Even if you weren\'t anticipating a Host uprising, it\'d still be practical to have a more thorough system in place. All it took for Dolores (disguised as Hale) to escape the island was for Stubbs to step in and give her the nod.

Why can\'t the Hosts be located through the mesh network? We can track a lost or stolen iPhone via the internet in 2018, but something similar can\'t be applied to the Hosts in

Delos seriously need to invest in a \'Find My Host\' app.
