It's not clear, Vortex.
If anybody is wondering re all the footage from the episode "Echo" - they shot 14 episodes on a 13 episode (and so budget) order. So stuff is reused throughout the series.

I couldn't tell, Vortex. Maybe a little of both? I thought Eliza had a nice handle on this persona, though. And a decent singing voice.

I think Sierra does remember something, because the whole reason behind the head shake was that Sierra looked like she was about to greet Echo or thank her, which she wouldn't normally do if they'd been wiped completely.

Also, with the way the wiped actives are so innocent, if Sierra didn't know/remember something she would wonder why Echo didn't want to talk to her.

Art Crawl!!!
There was a spec over on TWOP that when Echo walked in on Sierra's initial programming that it imprinted her and their friendship on Sierra. (And on Echo, I guess.) Similar to how the handlers are imprinted on the actives.
That was the most interesting part of the episode. (Also, I had not thought that Victor was an Active. I am simple that way.)

No, the Victor thing took me by surprise too. (But then I haven't watched the first episode, or the pilot script.)

The Victor thing confused me several times over. I avoided spoilers, but I did look at the promo pics and press releases which described and depicted Enver Gjokaj as playing Victor. After watching the first episode, I figured the character he played was an imprint. However, because he still played Lubov in episode 2, I figured that Lubov was probably a new role created for the actor after the original pilot (and presumably the role Enver Gjokaj played) was scrapped, but they still had the actor for a 13-episode contract, although the role did seem meager for a series regular. So the Victor twist in the latest episode did manage to surprise me.
