I didn't get most of this episode to be honest. It's rather put me off watching any more.
It was established that The Silence can put subconscious intructions into people, even though they forget seeing them; this was the same. Everyone remembers seeing that famous footage, and as they do, would remember The Silence, or the instruction to kill them, then forget again. So there's this bubbling subconcious instruction to do something that could rise up, then be forgotten again.
