But that's one of the central themes they've been developing: for the hosts/robots that are starting to remember what has happened before, their existence is unbearable.
Imagine remembering being killed, raped, again and again and again, and waking up every day like nothing happened, and knowing that you WILL keep on being killed, raped, and revived, following a script you didn't write.
That was the crux of last episode's scene, where Mave (the hooker), finds the past drawings of the nightmare figure she keeps seeing. Seeing all those drawings, which she clearly didn't remember putting there, tells her that she has lived this exact same situation many times before but she doesn't remember it.
And that it will probably keep happening, and she can't do nothing about it.
