I really do love that Echo got a call out to Ballard during all the foufourah. I don't know if he'll have anyway to trace the call, but now he's got what seems to me positive proof that the Dollhouse exists.
Take jobs as they come -- and we'll never be under the heel of nobody ever again. No matter how long the arm of the Alliance might get, we'll just get ourselves a little further.

But why did she do that? If it was done when she was in that Caroline-without-her-memories state, would she have ever heard of Ballard? And as Echo she's a blank, or only knows what she's imprinted with. I don't get why she made the call.

she said that she had a file, and we saw her take files from the doctor's office. She must have read his name in Echo's file.

She said she found a file. I think it was planted by the mole who counted on Caroline to take advantage of whatever information was in it. So she called him.
X-posty goodness.

Oh, thank you. That helps fill in a gaping plot hole for me.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
What? I missed when Echo called Ballard.
I think Dollhouse should be The Victor and Sierra Show.
I liked the episode, but I'm not sure what I want from this show anymore. It's becoming more interesting, though.

Somewhere between getting files from Dr. Saunders office and cutting the power, probably. Or between cutting the power and showing up in Topher's office.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
I don't get why Paul is even in the show, he really doesn't need to be.
This episode is a total jab at fandom wants and needs. Which I like. It's a lot better than last week. Adelle can go on about contracts and taking away bad memories all she wants, but let's just recap Sierra's story:
A rich dude wants to sleep with her. She's not interested. He pays for her to have her free will erased, so she will sleep with him against her will. He rapes her a bunch. Then in the Dollhouse in her child like state, whilst she's not busy painting bad pictures of houses, she gets child raped by her man-Handler.

Seriously. "Hey, Tahmoh, loved your work on BSG, wanna come onto my show and play a totally redundant character?"
November wasn't timid about getting naked.
I did like that. The one you'd (I'd) assume would be the most self-conscious about her body image was the one most comfortable with it.
