BEST MOMENTS - Mellie responds to a coded command from Adelle, calmly defends herself from her attacker and kills him, then reverts to her normal personality who's terrified.
- Echo sends the message to Agent Ballard in their encounter behind the restaurant and shows him the Dollhouse is much more than just them.
- Adelle admires a watercolor that Echo is painting. Echo says that it isn't finished. Adelle asks Echo if she means the picture, and Echo simply says, "It isn't finished." Then Adelle asks her if she would like it to be finished. Cut scene to Rebecca arriving at the Internet mogul's first house, the one that the real Rebecca never had a chance to see. The assignment is what really was not finished.
