I am also waiting to see what comes of the difference in memory sizes between Cleon I and the clones. What is being edited out of their memories? Is Demerzel the caretaker of this (assuming this was Cleon I's design). Or, is Demerzel playing the long game. I suspect she may be behind the genetic tainting of the line and perhaps even the assassination attempt.
I’m kind of hoping we get something a little different. Maybe that Cleon 1’s memory is larger because he’s still around to add to the heap via some assistance from Demerzel.
The clones are around as useful idiots and to introduce a level of sanity checking to make sure Cleon 1 isn’t left to his own thoughts.
We’ve already seen how opaque the process is for managing memories and editing them are.
