Westworld Didn't Just Kill 4 Major Characters, Right?!

screenrant.com:

Westworld season 4's penultimate episode marks the biggest bloodbath since season 2's park massacre — but will any of these deaths actually stick? «Metanoia» almost feels like a season finale, with Westworld's protagonists launching a multi-pronged assault upon Charlotte Hale's Tower. Bernard and Maeve unlock the Sublime, Stubbs and Frankie rescue Caleb, and Dolores takes Teddy on a destructive tour of her former workplace. Bernard then records a mysterious video message while Maeve distracts Hale.

Somewhere along the way, the Mandroid in Black (a host programmed using William's cognitive scans, but not a hybrid like Caleb) breaks bad by betraying Hale and triggering one last command to humanity: mass violence. As chaos erupts, Ed Harris' host — now wearing a black hat to cement the transition - stabs his flesh-and-blood counterpart in the chest before shooting Thandiwe Newton's Maeve, Tessa Thompson's Hale and Jeffrey Wright's Bernard in quick succession. All four remain offline when Westworld season 4, episode 7's credits roll, but death is notoriously impermanent in Westworld. Are any of this unlucky quartet actually dead?

Beginning with the MIB's first victim (and the episode's sole human casualty), William takes a blade straight to the chest. He's left unconscious and bleeding heavily, but Westworld hints the nihilistic grump is somehow still alive. When Frankie stumbles across William's cryo chamber, she tells Stubbs, "We need to help him, get him down," clearly implying William isn't quite dead yet. Although Stubbs convinces Frankie to walk away, William is a natural cockroach who already survived a slit throat at the end
