Bernard explains that because the facility can “house the infinite,” Dolores needed it (and now Hale owns it).

He says Hale can’t open the door without the key, which he immediately confirms is him.

Pivoting, Bernard asks Maeve if sherry is still her drink of choice.

This next time around, Maeve kills the attacking machine, after which Bernard tells her they must reach Hale’s tower if they want to save the world.

Hale then tells Caleb that she’s shutting down the cities and placing people “in cold storage.” She puts her entire evil plan on the table: use him to lure the rebels there so she can snuff them all out at once.

Frankie, Stubbs and the surviving rebels reunite with Bernard and Maeve near New York City.

Host-William asks OG William what he would do.

William simply repeats the question to his copy, telling him it doesn’t matter which of them defeats Hale, because they’re the same.

The William copy then stabs the imprisoned original in the chest and leaves.

Christina asks Teddy what Dolores was like, and he tells her that while Dolores was kind, she could also be cruel.

Frankie insists they try to help him, but Stubbs, recognizing William, says whoever did this did them a favor.

Before either can deliver the finishing blow, William appears out of nowhere to shoot Maeve in the head, before murdering Hale as well.

William shoots him, too.

(“There is no scenario in which I survive.”) William shoots him a third time, after which Bernard appears to vanish into the Sublime.

As Caleb, Frankie and Stubbs attempt to escape, a rioter shoots Frankie, non-fatally!

“Metatonia” ends with the triumphant William copy donning his signature shoot-’em-up attire and strolling away from the tower, as it explodes.
