She has taken without giving, choosing instead to repose her faith in Irie, Takano, and Tomitake. Not relying on your group of friends is _always_ the wrong choice in a Japanese cartoon. Tomitake's a nice guy apparently, but he is not Rika's friend and neither are Irie and Takano. Rika isn't thinking of the games club as friends to be relied upon for support but as obstacles who are finally out of the way, and that is what means she has no chance of success this time because her thinking is still impure.

Remembering has nothing to do with Shion's and Keiichi's actions in this arc. It also seems that guilt can carry over from other worlds as well. Before she killed herself in Maekashi-hen Shion was begging for another chance at having her relationship with Satoko again saying she wouldn't blow it again. Same kind of thing with when Keiichi gave the doll to Mion. He didn't remember anything beyond maybe a sense of guilt that he thought of not giving the doll to Mion.
