And since he had his inside man, there's no reason Alpha wouldn't know that she was now the doc, even if it happened after his attack.
Well ... everything we know about "the inside man" is in question, now. The only fact that we can reliably verify is that all the information that came to Ballard about the Dollhouse lead him to where Alpha wanted him. But we know Alpha was able to interfere with dolls remotely. Sure, glitching them is a far cry from running subroutines on them from a distance, but it's not out of the question.
But that being said, the fact that the info all worked in Alpha's favor doesn't negate the possibility of someone else inside acting to inform Ballard for the reasons we'd been lead to assume. We've already seen that there was one mole in the organization, so two's not a stretch.
Lastly, in the "Alpha has a person inside" corner, I think it's impossible to rule out that the insider may well have been Echo all along.

I think that there is definitely another mole. Mole!Echo said that the mole wasn't the person who had sent Ballard the pictures, and I think that we were supposed to think that Alpha sent the pictures.
Well, there goes one speculation.
Just letting you know that Tim is going full on old school Angel-esque Minear tonight.
I felt so nostalgic when I was watching this that I got lost in it, forgot where I was, and then Tim (he was sitting behind me) started talking and I jumped because I forgot he was even there.
And there ends my review.
My favourite one line review of this episode so far by somebody: "It's like Tim composited. Eep."
I'm liking the Ballard/Langton show.
OK. That rocked. And now I don't want the show to go.
Is it in danger?
I'd say yes. Not hopeless, but yes.
It premiered to 2.0 in the demo, which was lower than expected. The last episode was 1.0 in the demo as it has lost half it's audience over the last 12 weeks. I suspect tonight's episode will be a record low due to Star Trek.
Although they might pick it back up and live off the DVDs.
