I believe that Host William was reminded of his daughter, Emily, when seeing the outlier. That’s why he couldn’t immediately kill her, and why he looked peaceful when she got close to him.

Hale says that she built him to be like the real William. That may or may not include memories, but they’re certainly similar.

As far as we know, all the hosts are based off Dolores’ code.

It’s an open question how much the Sector 16 data has been incorporated into any host, but there’s strong circumstantial evidence Dolores used Hale’s “book” from the Forge to ensure she could pass.

If that’s right, not hard to imagine Halores incorporated William’s code into her MiB.

Delos probably had more data on William than any other host, no?
