It was pure genious the way Ford scripted Maeve to be a diversion...
My dude was always 10 steps ahead of everybody else...
That's why I'm pretty sure he's not dead...
I'm not sure though if he intended Maeve to get off that train...Her daughter is what made her step off and assuming the geek is human (Maeve thinks he is), there is no way Ford could have known the geek would hand her that information about her daughter which would lead to Maeve stepping off the train...That was way too convenient and she didn't shutdown when she stepped off like the rest of the bots...If her storyline is over why is she still awake and seemingly conscious with a purpose to go find her daughter?
