Westworld’s Man In Black Twist Sets Up Season 2's Ending William Tease
Did Westworld season 4 just secretly explain William's far-future post-credits scene? Westworld is notorious for secretly incorporating multiple timelines into a single season, but the HBO show's primary narrative between seasons 1 & 2 occurs sometime around 2052. Season 3 jumps slightly ahead before season 4 advances by a further seven years, entering the early 2060s — but Westworld has already shown a glimpse way further ahead than that. Westworld season 2's post-credits scene featured the Man in Black back in WestWorld, undergoing a fidelity test conducted by his deceased daughter. The abandoned condition of the Forge immediately indicated this was happening in Westworld's far-future, where William's consciousness had been placed inside a host just like his immortality-seeking boss, James Delos.

Indeed, season 3's own post-credits sequence appeared to contradict William's destiny by showing a host Man in Black (created by Halores) cutting his human counterpart's throat. The version from Westworld's far-future believed he was the real William, but season 3's robotic version is aware of his true nature. How can these conflicting scenes reconcile? Westworld season 4 drops two major clues, and hints a proper explanation isn't far away...
