The word for this episode is "simulacrum." Can you say "simulacrum?" I know you could! O‿⌒

I would kind of sadden by this episode, as they treat LRW's Dupes as simulacrum (an imprecise reproduction; a near-copy) instead of an outright replication of LRW. Dupey was a unique individual manifested by LRW ability, who's thoughts, desires and personality differed greatly from the original. When I see LRW makes any of her copies disappear, I don't see it as her recalling the copy for later use; I see it as her deleting the copy. It is a scary thought: A woman who can manifest new life at will, but can stuff them out of existence with great impunity, with just a press of the nose!

Dupey and The Butcher had great chemistry together, and they could have made a great couple. Once she disappeared, she was gone... Forever! Heck, I don't think the vegetarian Dupey was the same Dupey The Butcher fell in love with, but was a near-copy of her. (Did I just blow your mind?)
