The therapist slipped


How come Ruby didn't realize the truth after her therapist mentioned Cheeseman?
Ruby never mentioned Cheeseman's theory so the only way the therapist could have made the reference is if SHE was from the future as well.

I noticed this too, but I figured Ruby told her everything Sam told her.

However, there was another giveaway - the therapist's [what I thought was] undue interest in the outcome of Sam's court case.

Btw, my first thought was that the therapist would turn out to be "Christie Delancey", since he said his contact was an old wrinkled woman.

I knew that Christie Delancey couldn't be his contact because that wouldn't be a 3-letter, 4-letter name. It had to be something else.

And I agree that Cheeseman was prob something that she told the therapist because she told her everything.

Why are you jumping to that conclusion?

This.
Ruby had repeated Sam's stories and explanations to her therapist (off screen) before that scene.
She's in therapy, remember?! Did you expect all her whole sessions to be in the movie?

it was established that Ruby had begun quoting Sam--who was quoting Cheeseman.

so it's safe to assume the therapist recognized the quote and inquired about said quote under the veil of naivety.
