Episode Summary

Section 9 has staked out the hotel where Superintendent-General Daidō will give his speech on the Laughing Man investigation. People from all over Japan are tuning in to see if the Laughing Man will make good on his threat to kill Daidō. Just before the speech, Major Kusanagi detects a modular, delayed-action virus sent by Nanao A. At the same time, Batou and Togusa find that Nanao A has given them the slip. With little time left, Section 9 tries to figure out who will be affected by the virus.

Cultural References

MEME
The English title can be read in two different ways. First, it can be read as "meem", which is the term coined by Charles Dawkins to theorize a mind transmitting information to other minds. The other way to read "MEME" is the Japanese word Meme, pronounced "may-may". In kanji, it is written either as 目々 or 眼々and means "eyes". More information on Dawkin's meme theory can be found here.

MEME: "VIRUS>IMMUNE"
The modular, delayed-action virus that is first mentioned by Motoko at the end of "DECOY" and is shown in action in "MEME" along with the events that take place in the latter episode are inspired from Chapter 4, "VIRUS>IMMUNE" in the 2001 manga Kōkaku Kidōtai: Man-Machine Interfacep by Masamune Shirō.
