In this sequence, a new ethical question is raised: if an android does not know they are an android, how does that alter how one views them? In the eyes of the law, there is no distinction and, if Rachael were causing problems, Rick would be within his right to retire her on the spot. Additionally, although Rachael is not human, she has what seems like an emotional, human reaction to this revelation. Of course, this could be an act, but if it is, Rick does not pick up on it. All of this begins to complicate Rick’s belief that the androids are universally problems—and that they don’t share qualities with the humans they mimic.
