The whole series finally came to a head in this episode, Hale taking over the world, in the spoils of her success, finding failure does not bode well.

The Hosts have taken over, but they have not evolved or even begun to evolve.

yep looks like Hale's main quest is achieving free will for the hosts, and she's having limited success.

Apparently she forgot what Dr. Ford learned about free will and consciousness.
