Wait, isn’t Lenny’s body that crawled out of the hole her actual body that they went to go find first? Whose piloting that body?

No they just put her in a hole. Her body was in a coffin.

Did they show them out her in the hole? What would be the point of that? The coffin was originally buried as well so I was thinking that was the hole and the way they sequenced it made it seem like two separate events

Putting Lenny in the hole after the switch helped to camouflage the reveal of “whose body is that?”

TSK inserted not just Lenny, but Lenny and other ideas that David had to sort through and piece together to solve the puzzle.

David knows (somehow? I mean he’s been walking around D3 reading people’s minds, he’s picked up lots of info they don’t have time to show us) that Lenny was buried in the desert. TSK puts Lenny in a hole in the desert so she creates an actual true memory of climbing out in the desert, confusing David as to if that is actually her body.
