Tonight's DOLLHOUSE was a much bigger game changer than Man on the Street.
Holy Shit! I was sorry I was spoiled on who AT was playing, but dear doG! I was not expecting that ending.
Cordelia: You're him. You're Angel's son. Connor: It's not like I got to choose.

And (I'll spoiler font for Typo's sake) I can already see AT and ED making a seriously hot couple. Jeez, he works well with Alpha (no pun intended) women, doesn't he?

I will also say that Eliza was again very strong in her assignment role this week.

Tonight's was probably the most riveting Dollhouse I've seen so far.

Also AT did great comic work with Tomoah (sp?). Who sounded unnervingly like Mal and/or NF tonight. I was getting some War Stories vibes off the two of them a couple of times.
I suspect AT has the BBOC factor. As if I didn't know already...

This was also a "Come to Jesus" episode (if I can use that phrase metaphorically). Everyone who had a say of their own (as opposed to the Dolls) owned up to where they stood in things, or at least had to confront the parts they were playing in it (whether it be through denial, admittance, etc.).
Well, maybe not entirely - Topher came off really well this episode, and was tasered for the CtJ portion of it. Possibly his moment will happen later, especially since confronting Alpha seems to be his biggest fear.

That was quite surprising. Well, for me, as I was entirely unspoiled.
Although I'm already picking at the plot-logic. Why did Alpha need Ballard to get him into the Dollhouse? He already knew how to get in and how to manipulate the security system to get himself out. He didn't need Ballard, except possibly as a distraction.
This just got really interesting. Although... hmm. Assuming Echo is imprinted with Alpha's gf, that means Alpha himself has no moral qualms about the rape of the dolls. Or not enough to let it bother him.

I don't think Alpha has anything holier-than-thou in mind, but I could be wrong. Why else would have offed all those other dolls (and I assume cut up Amy Acker's character, from what we saw in their interaction tonight).
And, yeah, I think he needed Ballard as a distraction, and possibly as a scapegoat, if he'd gotten out with Caroline undetected.
I'm somewhat worried about that raising of the CO2 on the sleeping chambers - when he said best stay asleep, did he mean forever?
