Did they get the imprint, and later the person died?

I assume so, because it didn't seem they'd known she'd commited suicide.

The woman in the refrigerator will remind many comic book readers of Green Lantern finding his girlfriend killed and stuffed in a refrigerator, specifically, and generally it's used as a term to refer to the killing or depowering of female characters as nothing more than a plot device to get a reaction from the male character(s).

Women In Refrigerator list.

Huh, never heard of it before. I only think of people in fridges in a kids-locking-themselves-in way.

I only learned about the women-in-fridge thing here, although I think during Veronica Mars.

I totally missed any scars on Amy Acker's face, although I didn't watch the show in HD. Maybe that's why.

The thing I can't get beyond with this show is way would you want Echo as Miss Penn and not the real thing. I mean, if you have the money to pay for Echo, don't you have the money to pay for a real Miss Penn? And as was obvious in the show, the guy doubted her abilities exactly *because* she hadn't been doing this her whole life. And he was the one paying for her services!

I can understand that under certain circumstances, (like if you are into something shady), you wouldn't want/couldn't get the real thing - so the next best thing is a programmed person I suppose.

It's like "Leverage" I guess.

But in this circumstance, he really could have gotten a real Miss Penn - and ask her not to speak to the authorities.

I like Leverage and I think they've done a good job of choosing set-ups where it makes sense. I guess I just wouldn't trust my daughter's life to some chick who was dancing the night away in the shortest dress ever created the night before.

I was thinking of something. I think that it's not so much that they're wiping the personality and Echo is what's left, it's that they are imprinting Echo's personality over [eliza's character's name].

How could you miss the scars? [link]

I did wonder if they are meant to be relatively fresh with the intention of fading them some over time or if they're older scars.

That picture looks quite different from what I was remembering. I thought there were more scars and they were much more subtle so I figured they were old. Then I felt bad for Amy Acker having to sit through their application every day.

I think that they might get more subtle as the show goes on They probably really want you to notice them now. So, what's our theory?

Mine is that she's a former active that "woke up" during an assignment and ended up getting injured. As a payoff, they paid for her to go to medical school. She discovered that patients reacted badly to her scars, so she came back to work at the dollhouse where the actives don't ask any questions or have opinions.

I didn't notice anything until her second scene, and then I only noticed one scar.
