She did what she was supposed to do, said head honchess. She distracted the assassin so he spent time focussing on her instead of the songstress.

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

But... but... she didn't choose to be kidnapped! On any conscious or unconscious level- that was completely out of her- or anyone in the Dollhouse's- control.
The British chick's smooth talking at the end, I thought, was about *Echo* doing what she was supposed to do- stop the person from killing songstress, who was in fact the songstress. But that ass-pullery appeared to be directed toward protecting Echo from Lawrence and the Attic.

I missed this business about the Attic. I was very sleepy when I watched the episode, and most of the last twenty minutes is very hazy since I stopped caring about the A-plot. What's the Attic?

What's the Attic?
we don't know much. only that it's the place they put the retired and/or deactivated Actives.

Presenting a self-avowed #1 fan with an acclaimed #1 fan doesn't have to result in kidnapping, but it's really very likely to distract the nutcase.
Plan A: Take out assassin. Backup to plan: Distract assassin.
Hulu's being a bitch to me, so I can't retrieve the quote, but Britchick is definitely talking about Sierra in the snippet I'm remembering.

I thought you got to go back to the real world once your tenure as an Active was over. Or is the Attic where you fulfill the rest of your contract if you suck?

I found the exchange:
Dominic: "Sierra's been kidnapped."
DeWitt: "Ah. She drew his focus away from Rayna. Well, that was a good call."
Dominic: "Thank you. Her handler's outside the location. I told him to wait for our team."
DeWitt: "Yes, that's best. Echo?"
Dominic: "On task. Still protecting Rayna."

I think he's the smarmy guy that hates Echo.
