Imprint: Echo.
Oh, imprinting Sierra was Dominic's idea; imprinting Echo was Topher's.
Which means you're either dangerously incompetent (HA!) or your trying to throw us off your trail.
I'm sorry I ever doubted your programming skills (double HA!)
Interrogating Topher. Hey, it's going to be one of those nifty interview montages Joss does, right?! *bounce bounce*
Topher works in the Dollhouse because it feeds his ego.
I don't want to brag. OK, I want to brag. (shades of Spike.)
Interrogating Assistant.
She's got hidden talents and she's under appreciated. What are her hidden talents? Hmm...
Interrogating Boyd.
We're pimps and killers, but in a philanthropic way.
Boyd likes to cut through the bullshit. Sort of.
Interrogating Sanders.
Sanders doesn't leave the Dollhouse. That jives with what she was saying in the last episode about not liking the outside world.
Such intense focus on your work can leave other parts of your life empty and open to exploitation.
Sierra has found the mole.
And it's Assistant.
Assistant is going to the attic. So that's not just for Dolls anymore?
The attic is a mental suck? Like the Death of Personality?
Echo does the whole Sherlock Holmes bit.
Dominic works for the NSA. Like, secretly?
And wait, why would searching through NSA files or whatever reveal the mole?
Ah, Dominic planted the file.
And assistant's name is Ivy.
The office is not in the Dollhouse. OK.
WHOA. Dominic explodes in rage. He's been waiting for this moment for a long time.
Geeks hiding behind the couch. hee.
I'm not broken. Hmm.
Dominic sits in judgment before Adelle.
And you do *not* want to get on her bad side.
I trusted you with a gift.
The Dollhouse is not a gift.
I think the countless people we've helped would disagree with you.
What about the countless people we've hurt?
Name one.
[Echo]
Funny. Coming from the man who tried to kill her. Twice.
And are they in Adelle's house or where ever?
Ah, Dominic was an NSA plant. Not acting on his own. So this is completely different than whatever Alpha is doing. Right?
I'm sent to make sure that you didn't bring yourselves down. Hmm. There's some mutualism going on here between organizations.
If it weren't for me, Ballard would have found you already.
Have you seen Ballard? He's not the sharpest tool in the shed.
Do you know what the world will be like when Rossum lets the Dollhouse slip from its grasp? The technology needs to be reined in an controlled.
By a clandestine organization with little government oversight?
*Ahem.*
Dominic takes Adelle down a peg.
Dominic gets sent to the Attic.
Ah, they're going to turn him into a doll too?
Did you think I'd show you mercy? Or rage?
Nice.
Dominic's been at the Dollhouse for 3 years, (or just working with Adelle for 3 years?)
Dominic and Echo in the van. About being erased.
These two have a really interesting fucked up relationship.
Sooner or later, everyone gets their's.
Now we're back to the scene at the beginning of the episode. And it must be Dominic being erased. I never would have guessed that that's what it was.
This is what they were doing to Sierra in the pilot, yes?
Oh, except of the frying one's brain part.
And that's taking place in the chair room, so I guess the Attic is more of a metaphorical place than a physical one.
Oh, I guess there is a physical Attic. It must be where they keep the bodies until they're needed. Or just indefinitely.
Dominic's life on a disc.
How did I not see this coming?
Um, arrogance? Over reliance on poetic descriptions of your job?
Topher tells Adelle that Echo asked to be imprinted.
Sanders wish fulfillment didn't fulfill anything.
Yeah...
Echo saved the Dollhouse.
Oy.
OK, yeah. Miss. Lonelyhearts was Adelle all along.
Sanders and Adelle.
Does Sanders know something? Or is she just intuiting.
Boyd gets promoted to head of security.
Cool. Sort of.
It seems she's the one taking care of us.
I'm sure Caroline would be thrilled to know that. On the other hand, it would play very well into Alpha's hands, assuming that he was behind all the wackiness. Unless that was entirely a red herring. Although it was him sending info to Ballard and not Dominic, right? my brain hurts.
Echo gets a new handler. I wonder how long he'll last.
