Spoiler: Dollhouse - "How can you not remember something and remember it at the same time?"

Last night's Dollhouse continued to peak my interest. I'm not going to give a play-by-play, but I am going to highlight a few of the important plot points.

- We gets glimpses of Caroline, which was Echo's name before she became an active, in her old life. She is an extreme activist who, with the help of her boyfriend, tried to get dirt on a powerful company - Rossum - which is conducting improper science experiments. Getting caught filming inside the lab led to her boyfriend getting shot and I think is what led to her being forced into trading her life to be an active.
- Many of the actives glitched during their mission and got glimpses of past experiences or missions. I think this is forewarning problems with the memory erasing procedure.
- The episode focused on a drug outbreak on a college campus that saw not only students high, but also a bunch of the main characters - Topher, Boyd, Ms. DeWitt, Mr. Dominic and others - tripping. It was quite humorous.

Next week is being called Dollhouse: The Awakening. From the preview, this is what I got: The actives, while asleep in their pods, have dreams of their past. When they wake up they try to escape the Dollhouse.
