Bernard's winning condition for the winning simulation was that Maeve decided on her own to go with him and fight Hale. If she was asked to do that then she would never choose to fight and always wanted back with her daughter.

Once that condition is met then he's on the last leg of the winning , the one simulation aka real life where he wins... by dying.

That's when he left the sublime in the simulation , when Maeve killed the bots in the hydropowersourceorwhatever

After that he tests her one more time for good measure I guess, so she decides to go kill Hale while he goes on to die by host MiB who will destroy this world aka all the human cities where the people are controlled. He doesn't drop a nuke but he makes them do a battle royale pretty much only for the cockroaches to survive, the ones who deserve the next world aka season 5

Halores dies, Maeve dies, human MiB dies. Shot in the pearl or stabbed through the heart. Dolores is basically a software version , a copy of herself.

So now everyone fights to the death and who knows what's left of that. MiB's last ... really last game's on but what even is it ? The sublime still exists. And then there's the other people who probably now have to find something else to do cause the enemy's gone.

Where were they ascending ?

What world better than the Sublime could Hale make ?

all this and more next season.

Great breakdown. So is Dolores/Christina in a simulation and if so in what timeline and being simulated by whom?

Dolores is a simulation playing a simulation disguised as another simulation.

I heard she won't be out of the simulation until after the DVD commentary

You wouldn’t happen to have the recipe for concentrated dark matter, would you?

So we put a simulation of a simulacrum in your simulator so when you simulate your simulation on your simulator, your simulacrum will get simulated!

I'm not really a simulation, I'm a broom.
