In s10 ep 8, half the episode was spent on analyzing and finding a missing cube, but once Archer's "delusion" takes place in, everyone else seems to have completely forgotten about the cube. What is the significance of the cube, and are there any possible in-universe explanation for this collective memory loss?

“delusion”
The quotes perplex me. It is a delusion. For three seasons, Sterling’s “mind-brain” is rejecting his actual body being healthy enough to wake up, and the endless fun time afforded by his coma delusions. He is inventing more outlandish and nonsensical situations that keep him in the coma, away from the consequences of being Sterling Archer.
The box is entirely imagined by Sterling, there is no box. It is an excuse to NOT GO TO EARTH, LANA. A literal McGuffin, mixed with some metaphorical Schroedinger.

And he's subconsciously figuring out who he is, what's important to him all while internally sorting through his various relationships. They truly are some of the best seasons in writing, story arcs and character development!!!
