Season 2, Episode 4: ‘The Riddle of the Sphinx’To its many exclusive complications, add the fact that the second season of “Westworld” has become a patch on the first. Mysteries that lingered from Season 1 have been solved or extended further, and our understanding of the characters has changed, like a shift in objects during flight. This week’s episode, by far the best of the new season, suggests a gap in our previous perception of William/the Man in Black — and, by extension, of many of the other characters on the show as well.
