I’m caught up now… dang it. Only comment and I don’t know what to say. Oh wait I know! So any guesses on whether the next party member will be met because of something Rita does or a Gordon retcon?

On the one hand Rika knows everything on this island and has proven she won’t pull punches. On the other hand… well I think Gordon is just that willing to retcon for the sake of story.

You might be talking about Chopper, but I think Robin's inclusion will be decided during or before she reads the ponyglyph.
