Having watched the season two finale twice now, I would like to spoil it for you all... but to do so, I'd have to fully understand it, and I've only read two dozen articles explaining, theorizing, and outright guessing as to what happened and what will happen, so I'm only halfway there.
Throughout the season, it was revealed that the park's most valuable was never the hosts; it was the humans, which were monitored and deconstructed in an attempt to make the hosts seem even more real.
But "real" is a funny word in Westworld. Westworld is itself a simulation of the real world, but inside The Forge we discovered a simulation within a simulation, and after entering Loganworld... who knows, man. The show ends on three people, all of whom have died at least once this season, and poor Teddy has been killed at least half a dozen times. Even humans like Arnold (who came back as Bernard) never really "died" -- at least their conscious didn't -- so at this point, what's a little death between friends?
I dunno, man, I dunno. In their never-ending effort to make the show confusing, I'm not sure they made it good.
