The following contains spoilers for Westworld season 3 episode 7.
The episode titles and descriptions for Westworld season 3 have been kind of all over the place. The season’s first episode was named after a short Christian chant derived from Joel 2:17. Episode 3 was called “The Absence of Field,” seemingly from a Mark Strand poem and having little bearing on the episode. Then episode 6 went ahead and called itself “Decoherence,” which can’t help but come across as a joke at this point.
That all might change in season 3 episode 7 “Passed Pawn,” however. This penultimate hour of Westworld season 3 not only fills in all the missing details on Caleb Nichols’ (Aaron Paul) fascinating origin story, it casts Caleb’s future as the titular “passed pawn.”
For those not up on their chess terminology (which until recently included your dear author), a passed pawn is a pawn with no opposing pawns blocking it from reaching the 8th rank.

It’s lunchtime, and Amanda Shires is at Puckett’s, a local barbeque joint in Leiper’s Fork, Tennessee, spooning heaps of sugar into her large cup of iced tea. Somehow Shires – a Nashville-residing Texan – got stuck with the unsweetened variety, and that simply will not suffice. So Shires, in a huge straw gardening hat and denim shorts, does what comes naturally: She gets that drink to taste exactly how she wants it, all by her damn self.

Everett Collection Co-founder of the Russian Samovar and ballet dancer Mikhail Baryshnikov.
As rain whipped sideways, Roman Kaplan stood just outside the doorway of the Russian Samovar smoking a cigarette and greeting guests with the easy smile of an old friend.
A dapper man in a tan jacket, Kaplan founded the bar and restaurant on West 52nd Street 25 years ago, along with the poet Joseph Brodsky and ballet dancer Mikhail Baryshnikov.

Did you all miss me for my stutter-step week? I know I said I was going to take next week off, not last week, but a) I don't think anyone reads that italics block at the end of these already-lengthy posts and b) I forgot Again how hard it is to do things back-to-back without at least one week for some more substantial thing pre-loading.
