This new Dollhouse episode starts out really weird and dark and disturbed. I can’t even describe it. Doctor Saunders (a/k/a Whiskey) is gone missing. There’s nothing this week about former operative Madeline, nor about the political campaign against the mysterious medical corporation Rossum that runs the Dollhouse. But a new patient arrives after being hit by a car, but even Topher (the boy genius who imprints Actuals for their engagements) has ethical problems waking this guy up from his coma, when he discovers the patient has the brain of a serial killer. Uhuh.
The patient’s uncle (yet another Battlestar Gallactica veteran) is apparently close to the Rossum Corporation, but I missed that part. They mind-dump the nephew’s brain on Victor, who’s then accidentally let loose on the streets of L.A. (not that anyone would know or care) and now boy genius has to come up with a method to mind-swipe Victor remotely. (This, we who’ve seen episode “Epitaph One” know, is the beginning of the Apocalypse...) That means Victor will become a mindless robot wandering in Hollywood (not that anyone would know or care) ... Except that Topher’s attempt causes a power failure at the lab...
On her part, Echo is starting to recollect more and more of her past missions, although not much of the time when she was still Caroline. This time she becomes Kiki, a college student, who figures she take Medieval Lit, rather than Advanced Eval and skip Intro to Eval, or whatever, because how hard can it be? but maybe she should never have taken this course, but really this Chauncy guy he doesn’t even know how to spell! Heehee! Seeing that I am (well, was) a college professor, I find that very funny :-) Kiki comes to the professor’s office, reads some Chaucer, dances and flirts ... and then stabs a knife in his neck as she glitches just when Topher caused that power failure at the lab... Now Kiki and Victor have swapped minds, so she has become the serial killer on a rampage, and he’s become a mindless twerp in some L.A. club! Hahahaha! What fun!
