Are you planning to take a break from the show? Because sadly the fake reality episode is referring to "Field of Dreams" and not the premiere. Since in the episode titles where we see a small preview, we see the family in a simulation. And I know how mad you were at that episode and wanted it to be fake so...
I postponed answering this because even until yesterday, nearly three weeks later, I would cycle several times through the day between thinking "this episode is definitely fake" and "this episode is definitely real" and whenever I believed the episode was real, I would feel like vomiting, along with an uncomfortable pressure on my chest. (there were bad days when I spent most of the time thinking the episode was real and my performance at work actually suffered. My sleep was affected. Yes, that IS overreacting, I suck haha)
So I would also cycle through thinking:
"I am physically incapable of following along for the next two seasons, I'm dropping this now" (I'm not blaming the writers for this, just saying, *I* can't do it) and
"I trust the writers, they had been nearly perfect until now, let's gooo!!"
Now, I'm gonna say that I still believe the episode is fake, and I intend to finish watching this season, because I hope that we will get introduced to a malicious third party that has been implanting fake memories in others, even if they're introduced on S09E10.
But if no such entity is introduced this season then I cannot realistically assume that S09E01 was secretly the fake reality episode. And if that happens, I'm not gonna put myself through two+ seasons of this hoping the story will one day present abuse in a way that feels genuine to me, same as I don't want to follow along a person that I feel is abusive, hoping they change some time in the future.
So if S09E01 was a real episode, I'm not taking a break from the show.
