That's where Dummy sort of loses me...

While it beggars belief that the Dummy Dopant could recall a conversation that only Sokichi and Shotaro had, it's the sort of thing I'm never going to kick about, because: Gaia Memories. They are the A Wizard Did It of tokusatsu storytelling logic, much like every single collectible in all of Kamen Rider. It's definitely a cheat (the only reason Shotaro thinks the Dopant is Sokichi is because he says something only Sokichi'd know) but it's the same narrative cheat these shows use continuously through the season -- Philip's Gaia Library is also a thing that becomes less realistic the further we get from Begins Night -- so I'm okay with it. It's not the kindest storytelling trick, though.

Also: chicken breast, absolutely, all the time, for lunch tomorrow.
