UNANSWERED QUESTIONS
  • How did November's daughter die? Is she responsible?
  • Will Nolan get the ass kicking he truly deserves?
  • A lot of people assumed that Dr. Saunders was the mole inside the Dollhouse. Now that we know about her plan to give the dolls closure, is there a chance it could still be her? Or someone else?
  • What is the significance, if any, of the mountain Echo saw before waking up as Caroline?
  • Who is feeding information to Agent Ballard through Echo?


BEST MOMENTS
  • When the dolls awoke in their pods and Victor wanted to put Mike back in for persistently suggesting they were abducted by aliens
  • When Victor and Sierra kissed
  • When Topher admits to being afraid of the dark.
  • Saunders explains to Boyd what the dolls needed. With regard to Victor: "He has a more present need. He's in love."
  • Victor listing the '86 Mets during the co-ed shower scene
BEST QUOTES
  • When a normal active walked by and said "I like pancakes" and Victor replied "Yea we're gonna die."




TRIVIA
  • If a person with a fully functional brain is imprinted their brain will implode
  • The mountain scene has been remembered by Caroline/Echo in previous episodes. The Mountain scene is remembered when Echo was imprinted with the skill of a midwife in episode 4 "Gray Hour"



 EPISODE SHOCKERS
  • November (Mellie) has a daughter named Katie who died before she joined Dollhouse
  • Sierra was brought to Dollhouse against her will by someone named Nolan when she would not have sex with him
  • Dr. Saunders' plan to give the dolls "closure" by allowing them to take a self-guided journey.
