![]() And Ron’s points about their work being the problem finally start to sink in. Tamiko storms off saying that anyone who works at Cognito either “starts insane or goes insane.” Reagan tries to make light of that - “They made it work for 35 years” - before Ron leaves. That coincides with Rand’s failed attempts to win back Reagan’s mom, Tamiko ( Suzy Nakamura) through simulations and the Robot President acting as a stand-in (yes, the robot becomes a valued member of the team). She works so hard to try and convince him Cognito is better - only to see infighting, people accidentally liking him in hordes because of drugs, and baby organ labs, all ending with Ron having to erase everyone’s memories. ![]() Reagan is worried that him leaving the shadow government would end their relationship. Ron is traumatized by his work erasing people’s minds. But the most fascinating aspect of it is how it ends.
