Warning: Major spoilers ahead for “Westworld” episode seven.

Fans of “Westworld” were stunned Sunday evening when a running fan theory was confirmed and we got our first human death at the hands of the robot — all in one powerful scene. 

Bernard took Theresa to an unmonitored area of the park where Dr. Ford had been keeping a group of hosts (created to mimic his own family). When they entered a basement work area, Theresa found prototype drawings that revealed Bernard was actually a host.

Ford then appeared, divulging that he not only designed and created Bernard, but that he had brought Theresa to him for the purpose of getting her out of the way once and for all. Ford directed Bernard to kill Theresa, and he did so without hesitation. 

This double surprise — Bernard being a host all along and the murder of Theresa — set the fandom into a frenzy.
