#I'm 🤡 here...but I just want CX-2 to rip off his mask at the beginning of the next episode turn to Omega and pull her into a bear hug

If CX-2 is Tech...

There are two possible scenarios I can think of:

Part of the CX conditioning process actually wiped most of his memory, which explains why he still needed to track down the coordinates to Pabu through Cid and Phee. This makes sense because they obviously don't want him remembering times, places, and events that he shared with his family because the emotions tied to those memories would make him non-compliant. We've seen conditioning processes like this in The Mandalorian with Dr. Pershing. We've also seen people break free of that conditioning.

He's pretending to be brainwashed, and he's playing the long game. He used Cid and Phee to track down Omega as part of his cover. This is probably the least likely scenario, but I do find it extremely interesting that he put the explosives on the Marauder while Wrecker was outside the ship and could easily spot/hear them; he shot the pilot of the lartie instead of Hunter; and he put Omega on his personal ship instead of on that cruiser that is equipped with detention cells and hundreds of armed guards. I also can't figure out another explanation for why he sounds more like a typical clone every time he has a conversation with a superior, but his accent noticeably changes when he's with underlings. Nor can I see how they can resolve his story in four episodes (along with all the other plot points) if he is completely brainwashed.

Either way, his choices and behavior during this entire last episode seemed very suspicious to me.
