Incidentally, doesn't it seem like if you know someone can remotely wipe all your products that it would be a good time to pull everyone in from the field and reassess your options before blithely sending them out again?
I wonder if Fox frelling with episode order caused that glitch in continuity.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.
I like the idea of Mellie as activated by Alfa. Someone has the ability to not just wipe, but remotely wipe, so I think it's not that far-fetched to think that someone has the ability to imprint.
But I wonder if he would. We don't know a lot about Alpha, but his gripe seems to be about how the Dollhouse treated him. Would he do the same thing? Obviously, we don't have enough information.

Depends on if Topher was confident he could stop it from happening again, I suppose.

maybe that went the way of Victors face being plastered everywhere and the risk now involved if they send him out on other engagements.

And do they not realize Echo's face has been on TV now? Fleeting though it was. You'd think they'd want to be careful.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
Considering they sent Echo into a vault robbery, I doubt being careful is high on the list of priorities.
One of the things about the Dollverse is - I get the impression anyway, I might be wrong - although it's set in present times, in the show universe I believe the Dollhouse is common knowledge amongst people. One of those possible urban legend things. Gitmo, with less clothes.

Gitmo's an urban legend?

Well, what went on there used to be. Until it turned out to be horrifically true.

Maybe there's no there there. He'd probably not have any qualms if there's no way for her original personality to come back. Also, considering the blood and the screaming, I don't know how many qualms he has.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Echo probably didn't take a cell phone to the cult compound so it hasn't been an issue yet (with her - don't know about other actives).
And do they not realize Echo's face has been on TV now?
I know. Seriously? Her handler walks directly toward the cameras? But I guess that was necessary plotwise for Paul to see her.
