"I wonder if it's Weed who was being given those Thorazine injections
when he visited Dr Elasmo's (228.20-5). Brock tells Frenesi about what
happened to Weed "in detail often crude enough to make her afraid", and
then later, after she has been rescued by DL, she starts "reciting her
adventures" (260-1) -- but what she's really doing is parroting what
Brock told her 
happened and claiming it as her own experience rather than Weed's. 
If Thorazine is meant to make her lose her memory, then how come she is
able to remember so much?"

This seems to me to be deeply insightful reading, and although I never
would have thought of it myself, it seems irrefutable now that you have
posited it.
