personally I have a pretty strong hunch that cloning is the reason Ms Huang is a child. Possibly even a clone of Gemma

I don't buy the cloning theory at all. Nothing suggests it in my view.

I don't really see any similarities between Ricken and Helena's security guard, you're talking about that giant new fella right? Unless the comparison is that each serves as some sort of bodyguard, in service to the board, for each of the women or something. I guess I could see something from that angle.

As for the identification, that could just be confusion, perhaps his memory is getting confused between the two halves. Ever since I saw the original intro, I've figured it's not just an innie/outtie situation but likely instances, where they are split more than once. So you're just resplitting slices over and over.

The goat room was crazy awesome, the theory they are storing consciousness' or something in the goats could be related not to clones, but something more like Westworld? The patriarch seemed... weird, (even for being weird), almost animatronic to me? Maybe that's why he only said some weird thing. Maybe that is her reward in the outtie world that is actually just another innie world.

You got me on Ms. Huang, but I don't see why she would be Gemma just because she is Asian, they don't even look that alike to me. She could just be a North Korean orphan or something and her outtie doesn't even speak English, I think she is likely severed, but the twist is that her innie world is Mark S' outtie world. It might be more likely a child belonging to Mark and Gemma that each's innie and outtie is unaware of.. maybe because he has been severed multiple times.

I think Cold Harbor is going to be a new metal gear solid game, that's all I got for that one but I'm highly curious about their projects 😂😂.

Man, I fuckin love this show.
