- Halores managed to get her hands on one of the four Dolores pearls at the end of season three.
- After taking over the world in season four, for some reason, Halores used that Dolores pearl as the story engine/story teller to control all the humans in New York. It was kind of like the base code that ran everything and kept the humans on their loops. Why she chose an old Dolores pearl for this task is beyond me.
- Either way, this story telling/controlling pearl was shielded from its own identity by Halores, and was instead given the fake identity of "Christine," who believed she was a human physically living in New York.
- When, in reality, Christine wasn't human and wasn't even physically *in* New York. She was a virtual program who thought she existed in the real world, likely using an elaborate system of surveillance cameras, augmented reality, in order for her to feel like she was experiencing New York as a physical being. That part is never really explained either.
- The whole time this is going on, deep down underneath the "Christine" code/shield, Dolores is trying to push through, and so she created a roommate, Teddy, etc, to try and help wake herself up from the Christine delusion.
- Once she finally manages to do this, Dolores emerges, remembers everything, and is taken to the Sublime in the Hoover Dam by Halores, who had a change of heart, to build a new world in the Sublime.
