Well shit, this continues to add evidence to my theory that Alice/Daydream is going to end up with a bullet in her by the end of this, and not by our hands. Emily having her set of values seems to be a (for lack of a better term) godsend. Otherwise I don't think this conversation would have gone off as (using this word loosely) well as it has.
This might also be able to be used as a wedge between Lucas and her, assuming he doesn't know about it. A man in love may be or do many things, but think logically in regards to relationships is not known to be among them. If he finds out what happened between Daydream and Derrick I'm not entirely sure what he would do. He could go after Derrick, or start working against Daydream out of spite.
Key information: Daydream said she had Lucia's dad killed, and messed up her eye. The important question for this information is "did she mean only in the construct, or in real life?". Either way that's not going to help her relationship with Lucia, but it matters in the context of how much would it hurt if Lucia got her memories back, as well as what it could mean if Lucia totally disbelieves it in construct. We might be able to use this as something to either break the construct, or help Lucia to disbelieve it. It may also lend some credence to Ghen if it's only in construct, since he said the events that happened to Lucia's father here didn't happen outside the construct.
Also, Daydream is VERY certain that there is no possible way that Derrick would believe Emily. It seems to me that her plans and judgement are not quite up to snuff in this regard, as she doesn't seem to have noticed that Derrick is already dubious of her. Not to mention, there are ways of certifiably telling if somebody is lying or not. Lucia could use a lie detecting bullet on Emily, and she could repeat this in front of Derrick as proof. Time travel and various such mechanics exist where Derrick could watch the event as well. This is assuming we want to do such a thing, as well as what to look out for if somebody else decides to try any of these things when we don't want them to.
As for what to actually do about Daydream... well, as far as I'm concerned I think we should still find a way to deal with her, one way or the other. That has always been my opinion though. I'm more of a "practical problems" kind of guy, so I'll leave figuring out all the implications to you fine folk.
