Are we really sure that Dominick was the guy helping Paul out?
Because, I think it would be interesting to discover that there were more than one spy at the Dollhouse and I'm still hoping that Alpha is working to expose the whole thing.

I totally didn't see any of that coming. It was an excellent episode. I'm hoping that isn't the last we'll see of Dominic; I want to know more about the attic.

Dominic was the inside guy! I never would have gone there.
Me neither!
And it is doubly excellent because from what I gleaned from his mission, he's not the one who was sending the secret messages to Paul. There's still someone else.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Dominic was the inside guy!
He was AN inside guy. I don't think he was THE inside guy. I don't believe he was the one sending messages to Paul.

I don't know that he is. The secret imprints seem to be trying to bring down the Dollhouse, while the NSA seemed to by trying to control it.

I'm starting to think Adelle may be doing the secret imprinting. She obviously had some way to put something into Victor's programming that Topher wasn't aware of. And I got the impression that she's the only one who knows about Millie/November's sleeper persona.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
I agree. I don't think it is possible he was helping Paul. I do now wonder if the doctor is a doll.
BTW, I took one look at Echo's new handler and I said to Beau: maybe it is our tv, but I could SWEAR he is wearing a red shirt.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
I agree that Dominic wasn't the imprint-altering inside person. That's a whole other person, who hasn't yet been revealed. Dominic was an inside person working for the NSA.
Which I find interesting, because that means that the NSA knows about the Dollhouse and has no real need to shut it down, as long as they have someone on the inside.
This episode impressed me with its ability to repeatedly pull off something I totally didn't see coming, but which worked perfectly (like DeWitt being the one having the repeat engagements with Victor -- and how sad was that??? -- and Dominic being a mole, but not THE mole).
Finally, you shouldn't fence without a damn mask. Jesus.

That's what I had a hard time parsing out. I'm going to blame it on the structure of the show today. It took me a couple of restarts to realize we were doing the non-linear thing like Out of Gas. I couldn't put the Mellie reveal into place with what we found out about Dominic. I jump to so many conclusions with this kind of stuff, I just wasn't willing to take that entire leap, tonight.

true, but why would she be trying to bring down the Dollhouse?
And I got the impression that she's the only one who knows about Millie/November's sleeper persona.
no, she's not. she told Paul that their sleeper active performed perfectly after Mellie killed rapist!handler.
I felt really bad for Paul when he found out that mellie was an active. I think that he genuinely liked and cared for her.
