Spoiler: Dollhouse continues to throw punches

This week's Dollhouse episode is framed with a news broadcast segment on the "urban legend" of the Dollhouse. We get to hear what real people think about the Dollhouse; if they think it is real and what they would request if they had the money. But in the action of the show, there were two big surprises.

1) Paul, the FBI agent, finally figured a way to come face-to-face with an active, but when it was Caroline (Echo's names before she became an active) he did not know how to react. Boyd gets her out of the mission, but it was enough of a glimpse to further peak Paul's interest. There is no way he can back down now. The people on the inside of the Dollhouse then send Echo programmed as an assassin to fight Paul. But halfway through a rather intense fight scene, Echo stops fighting to talk with Paul. She says that someone on the inside interrupted the imprint and made it possible for her to give him some information. She tells him that there are Dollhouses around the world and that he cannot bring them down alone. The person on the inside will find another way to contact him and will assist him in his mission.
2) Paul's neighbor, who since the beginning of the show has obviously had a crush on Paul, is what was called a "sleeper active." Paul was talking with her about his Dollhouse search and the people inside the Dollhouse sent someone to supposedly kill her because she knew too much. But really, he was sent to be killed. Once there, Ms. DeWitt calls Paul's phone and on the answering machine says a poetic phrase that when she hears it, the neighbor turns into a dangerous killer. She kills the person sent there to kill her and after another phrase is uttered, she retreats back to her normal identity.

While watching this episode, I more than once actually gasped. It was a great episode and furthered my desire to want to be a faithful viewer of this show. What did you think? Are you still watching? Do you agree that these were two surprises you were not expecting? I can't wait to see what happens next.
