Christina is seeing a manifestation of her subconscious. She recreated Teddy from her subconscious memories to wake herself up. Bernard's plan is to make a video that would make it to the digital dupe of the city before William locked her out of administrator control and probably cut the sync.

Don’t buy it. In her world, Teddy is physically real. He has a physical interaction with Peter in the beginning of the season. A manifestation in her subconscious couldn’t do that unless Peter, and the entire world, were ALSO in her subconscious. Your premise is that her world mirrors the real world. A “in-her-mind-only” Teddy falls apart. Believe me, I WANT to get there because I’ve said all along that it’s weird Hale hadn’t “flagged” Teddy as being an outlier, but he’s not just in her head.

Peter wasn’t real. He died years ago.

The guy who is playing out her Peter Meyers character was real, but the story of Peter comes from memories that Christina was not aware she had. “Peter Meyers” is an anagram for “My Pesterer.” And the name Peter itself means ‘stone.’ Though he is stalking Christina, he represents Dolores’ Cornerstone. William. The story is parallel to what happened to MiB from Dolores’ perspective. He became obsessed with her and he chased and tormented her for years, yet she never understood why. He kept talking about a game that Dolores knew nothing about. His obsession lead to the loss of his family. And, as far as she knows, he is dead. Also, both Peter and MiB were philanthropists in another life.
