* DeceptivelyHumanRobots: Bill, an early model host that Ford is using for TheConfidant. Its movements are [[NoisyRobots noisy]] and jerky and it repeats phrases,. Ford comments that "even a simple handshake would give them away." The latter may be a MythologyGag to the original film, where the hands were the only way of telling a robot from a real person as they couldn't get them quite right.

* AmbiguousSituation: When Ford is trying to get to the bottom of Peter Abernathy's glitch, is Peter just reciting buried fragments of previous 'builds' or showing glimmers of self-awareness? He starts to glitch when saying "I wouldn't have it any other way", and talking of how he has to warn Dolores of "The things you do (not 'he does') to her!" Then he does a creepy MoodWhiplash to another build (a lunatic cult leader) who looks Ford in the eye and says he wants to meet his Maker (Ford: "Well, you're in luck").
-->'''Ford:''' Well, you're in luck. And what do you want to say to your Maker?
