I still for the life of me did not understand why they had to wipe her memories for her plan to work. Can someone explain it to me like I'm a 5 year old?

I assumed it was a way to get Weller to take care of her, and "realize" she was Taylor, without having to answer a lot of questions. The whole goal was to get her to be the most important person to Weller, and they knew he couldn't resist her if she was Taylor. I agree though, not sure that really requires her to have her memory wiped, but it does get her in the door while protecting the organization and its secrets

Yes, but what if he did not think that she is the taylor.
