So, what happened to Echo and Senator Perrin, his wife Cindy, agent Ballard and the whole Dollhouse? Well, apparently Cindy has been Perrin’s handler. The Senator’s memory has been programmed to pass through legislation behind the façade of an ethical neuroscience subcommittee that will benefit the Rossum Corporation. Now Cindy has brought Echo and Perrin to her own Dollhouse in D.C., so that their memory can be reprogrammed by the wickedly charming Bennet Halverson (played by actress Summer Glau, who somehow reminds me of my ex-girlfriend – the forehead, the lips, and that she likes pigs, Bennet that is, not Summer – but I’m probably just seeing things...) It’s getting pretty exciting and I finally feel that much of the fast ‘n’ furious, but ultimately superficial sci-fi babble, is beginning to pay off – and I admit that all the attractive, scantily clad women are a guilty pleasure, too.
That lovely, sick, little evil doctor, slash brain programmer Bennet tortures Echo by showing how they’ve met before... We only get to see glimpses, but she’s imprinted her own memory onto Echo’s mind. Meanwhile Adele DeWitt (the head of the L.A. Dollhouse) and her programmer Topher flew into D.C. to retrieve Echo, which required some forceful convincing on Adele’s part, but then Senator Perrin runs away with Echo before Topher can get to her... Echo and Perrin cut out each other’s GPS retrieval chips in their neck (yeah, I know, more sci-fi babble). Now, to trace and disable the fugitive actives, Bennet suggest readjusting Topher’s gizmo from last week ... and this new device will lead us one step closer to the neurological Armageddon of remote brain wipes we witnessed in the glimpse into the future (the Epitaph episode appended to Season One). That sly witch doctor then uses the device to turn Perrin into an assassin, hoping to get rid of Echo. In the end he kills Cindy, chairs the subcommittee’s hearing and clears the Rossum Corporation of the accusations of unethical practices. Not exactly as intended ... or was it?
