Found some crazy theories here! Like the one below:

I keep thinking there’s more to Theresa being killed than meets the eye. This is pretty out there but when Bernard takes Theresa to the hidden lab under Ford's secret host-family residence, she sees that a host is currently being built by the slightly older machines. What if this machine is actually working on the host version of Theresa right as she is about to be killed?

It makes perfect sense - Ford issued a dire warning to Theresa earlier to stay out of his way. Maybe he induced Bernard to seduce/sleep with her so that Bernard could learn all her mannerisms. We've already seen that Bernard knows a lot of intricate details about Theresa such as the way her demeanor changes when she's nervous, etc. Now that she's dead, Ford/Bernard can use all this knowledge to create a near replica of Theresa, unbeknownst to anyone except themselves.

Another crazy extension of this theory: How many hosts are currently in the park, the staff, or the real world that were modeled after real humans who had either died / been killed by Ford? If he does this to Theresa, surely he's done this before to other people as well.
