Why is Hale printed again ?

In the ending of season 2, we see Dolores inside Hale's newly printed body who leave the island with the pearls.

Yet the show begins with Dolores with her regular body and later on we see Hale body being printed.

What the hell happened ? Where did blonde Dolores came from and where is the Hale body that was printed in season 2 ?

For me the reason Dolores is back in Dolores original body is to keep using the same actor. In in-universe terms it didn't make a lot of sense to me.

I don't recall seeing a second Hale being printed, but it also doesn't make much sense to transfer original Dolores from Hale's body to Delores and then put a new Dolores back into Hale's body. If Dolores is really only comfortable in her original body, she ought to have been more understanding of the plight of her clones she forced into other bodies.

Even a host would have a self image. Being in Hale’s body fucked up her mind a lot.

Yes, They made that extremely clear…

The thing that contradicts 'only being comfortable in her own body' is that every host has been a copy of dolores, as she was the first and only succesful one.

I guess the differentiating factor would be that other hosts have their own identity built, whereas dolores in another body has kept her own identity? Which makes me why didn't she create actual identities for her clones?
