“Teddy’s surprise reappearance”. The adored character turned tragic killer, who passed away in Season 2, made his triumphant return in a romantic twist at the conclusion of the episode in the season 4 premiere of Westworld.

After going on a stressful date, seeing a suicide, and discovering a startling souvenir left by a home intruder, Christina, the new character played by Evan Rachel Wood, who previously played Dolores, steps out onto her balcony. In her capacity as a writer for Olympiad Entertainment, she is formulating a concept.

She mumbles, “The new script is about a girl who’s searching. The girl is still unsure of her search objective. She just knows that nothing makes sense and she feels an emptiness in her life. I want a story with a happy ending, Christina says with absolute certainty.

Immediately after she finishes speaking, the camera pans to reveal a man observing her from the sidewalk while he is concealed by the trees and the streetlights. Teddy is there, looking graciously up at her as the score increases.

The episode, a stylish, enjoyable slow-burn that takes place seven years after the events of season 3, finishes on that suspenseful cliffhanger without actually addressing the topic of Teddy’s reappearance. Although the premiere dispelled rumours that Teddy was the mysterious man Christina was spotted hanging out with in an early season 4 teaser, it was simply some jerk Christina’s upbeat roommate, Ariana DeBose, fixed her up with as a ruse to get Christina more sociable.

Additionally, although Teddy is only actually seen towards the episode’s conclusion, there is a brief scene earlier in the premiere where it appears that he is going to make a comeback. A troubled man named Peter had been following Christina during the entire episode.

Teddy’s return was a strong possibility at any point in the series, given that Dolores uploaded Teddy’s pearl (also known as the robot brain) to the Valley Beyond. Outside of the bounds of show logic, Marsden’s unexpected appearance at the Westworld panel at the ATX Festival in June served as further confirmation of Teddy’s return.
