Last week we learned that Boyd was the founder of Rawson, the corporation that runs the dollhouse. What could follow on the heels of a revelation like that? Let’s find out, shall we?

Last time - like an hour ago - as you’ll recall, Dollhouse more-or-less concluded that true love has a kind of eternal heft, regardless of the memories or circumstances surrounding it, it is a direct connection between souls (Even though Topher doesn’t believe in the soul). The show also concluded that the sum of what we are is greater than the total of the part, though in Echo’s case, you know, she’s got a lot of extra parts in her head, so she’s kind of greater still, way greater than average, kinda’ blowing the bell curve for the rest of us.

Last week - by which I mean five minutes ago, before the last commercial break - you’ll recall that Echo and Paul returned to the Dollhouse as part of some larger scheme that wasn’t revealed. As it’s a cold night and my carpal tunnel is acting up, I’ll just jump right into it without my normal coy introductions.

An ex-millionaire in a trailer home is talking to someone unseen about how he blew all his money on The Dollhouse. Alas, the unseen man turns out to be Alpha, who kills the man.

No real need for any preamble, let’s just jump to it, shall we?

Echo and Senator Perrin are captives of the DC Dollhouse (Ask about opening a franchise in your town!). Adel and Topher have gone east to visit the DC ‘House and see about recovering Echo. Topher is extremely uncomfortable, geekish, nervous, agoraphobic, and just generally a hyper frenetic pain in the ass. Adel explains that they need access to the DC House mainframe, and he needs to get that by hook or by crook, or all is lost. Topher, looking scared, agrees.
