How did an event in Episode 8 of Westworld occur?
Edited based on the events of Episode 9 In the 8th episode of Westworld, it was reveled in a split-second flashback that Bernard had killed other people for Ford before - and many people believed the flashback showed Elsie being strangled.
It was reasonable to think that that could happen because Elsie told Bernard about her discovery and where she was going.
Then Episode 9 explicitly showed Bernard strangling Elsie.
However, in the episode where Elsie first went missing, she was just talking on the phone with Bernard. The abandoned theater where Elsie went missing is presumably miles away from where Bernard and Theresa were in that time, across the park.
So how is it that Bernard reached Elsie? Is there an in-show explanation, is it information we do not have, is it a plothole? Clearly he covered an extremely large distance in an extremely short time, and Ford was never present to help him at the theater.
Best Answer
An unspecified amount of time passes after Elsie hangs up.
Elsie finds a computer underneath the wooden floor of the stage.
She calls Bernard and informs him about her find. When she hangs up, the computer is still attached to wooden floor she pryed open.
It then cuts to Ford having a conversation with the kid-robot.
When we return to Elsie, we can see that she has removed the computer from where it was before. And she has made herself comfortable on the chair.
Elsie is going through the data on her tablet when she suddenly hears a noise.
So, after Elsie hangs up on Bernard she clearly did things that weren't shown on screen.
How long has she been sifting through the data she found? It might have been 5 minutes, it might have 1 hour ... I don't think there is any way to tell.

Answer 2
The simple answer is that the person Elsie heard was not Bernard... let's say it was Ford.
Ford finds Elsie in the theater. He distracts her, has a conversation with her... he's good at that sort of thing... while doing that, he directs Bernard to meet them at the theater. Once Bernard arrives, Ford directs him to kill her.
There is no reason to require that her death occurred while she was on the phone with Bernard. Also, with a show so exquisitely planned as this, it's extremely doubtful that there would be such a glaring plot hole.
