Dollhouse Episode Review

In which there is a serial killer.

What Happened

After his nephew is injured in a car accident, a man named Bradley asks Adelle to use the Dollhouse technology to wake Terry from his coma. He leaves out the part where Terry has kidnapped four women to work out his Mommy Issues.

When Topher balks at the whole "serial killer" thing, Adelle orders him to download Terry into Victor's body. Then, she has Ballard interrogate him for information on his victims.

Ballard discovers that they are alive, but Bradley doesn't like his methods and frees Victor/Terry. Who promptly escapes from Bradley and disappears. When it turns out Victor is no longer wearing his GPS tag, Adele has to find him some other way.

While Ballard searches, Topher works out how to do a remote wipe. In theory. Terry is wiped from Victor's mind - and dropped into Echo's. (She'd been off playing "hot for teacher.") Echo does still have her GPS, so Ballard is able to track her back to the warehouse where the kidnapped women are held.

They have managed to free themselves from their cage, and they fight back when Echo appears. Terry blames them for what happened to him and threatens to kill them. As he lifts the hammer, however, Echo emerges and warns them to kill her before Terry "returns."

Fortunately, Ballard appears before they can strike. While the women are rescued, he takes Echo back for a treatment. As Echo recovers, Ballard contemplates Terry in his coma. Adelle remarks that they will just have to hand Terry back over to his family, but as Ballard leaves the room - Terry flatlines.

What Did We Learn

• Guess we have to find a new aunt sheila
• It could also give him a man reaction.
• There is no need to continue to translate Adelle.
• Topher has ethical problems. Topher.
• Art takes time.
• Kiki skipped intro to evil.
• Middle English has nothing to do with hobbits.
• The one man manhunt is using public transportation.

What Did I Think?

Much better than last week. There was better dialogue, for one thing. I see a problem for them if they don't figure out what to do with Boyd, however, now that Ballard has moved in.
