* So here's something I have to ask. Archer was given a chance to leave with his therapist, but Lana and the Agency convinced him not to. Why? Considering the hell he gives them, and the fact Lan, Pam, and Carol blamed him for making them regress back to their pre-Season 11 selves, this was the optimal opportunity to finally get rid of him. So why would Lana try to keep Archer around (aside from the obvious answers of A.J. and that the show is named after him)?

***To add more legal context to this, if Cecil can prove Cheryl is too mentally incompetent to care for herself, then he gets total control over whatever's related to her, as he'd be declared her guardian, conservator, payee, or what have you. However, I don't think Cecil considered that mental hospitals cost money and that whatever monetary assets she's got would likely go to paying for her care at the mental hospital but the point is to get her out of the way long enough.

*** It is left ambiguous, leaning towards Archer being innocent of the knowledge where it came from, with Mallory asking Lana when she was ever honest with Archer about anything. It is a classic Mallory statement really, the tone of voice is insincere and the answer is worded in a way that it lets Lana choose which option to believe herself without admitting anything specific.

***Well, we don't know if Woodhouse was always an addict but, considering the universe of ''Archer'', he might've been the most competent ''in comparison'' to anyone else that Malory could have left him with. Also, worth pointing out that a lot of your addicts tend to appear functional (we have a [[FunctionalAddict trope]] for this), so, he was probably functional for the most part, that flashback sequence being one of those times where he so happens to be high.

Fake!Archer was mostly there to record her confession. The problem being that the cyborg was apparently programmed to be just as self-centered as the real thing. Hence, rather than doing something along the lines of getting Real!Archer out of the pool and calling for an ambulance, Fake!Archer just continued to act as if it were the real one until it shorted out while trying to propose to Lana.
