Spoiler: Dollhouse - It's always about saving the girl

Previews for the Dollhouse season finale promised all questions would be answered. I don't know if I would go that far, but a lot was reveled. Here is what we did learn and a few other interesting plot points for last night's episode:

- Dr. Saunders is not a real doctor but only another active and she used to be the most popular, most requested active. Alpha, who always had a thing for Echo, wanted Echo to be No. 1 and that is when Alpha slashed Dr. Saunders' face.
- Paul helps DeWitt and Boyd get rid of cops when they are called to the building and also goes out with Boyd to do some research on who Alpha was as a person before he became an active. Paul, in this case, is helping his enemy.
- Alpha has his own imprint chair and stole all of Echo's old imprints. He and Echo also kidnapped a woman on their way to Alpha's "lair." This other woman is imprinted as the original Echo, in other words, as Caroline. Meanwhile, Alpha keeps short-circuiting and speaking in the voices of other people. We find out that when Alpha went crazy and on his killing spree, he was in the midst of an implant and there was a computer glitch; Alpha was imprinted as 48 people at once. This is then what he does to Echo; He imprints her with all her past identities. But instead of doing as he tells her, Echo lashes out on Alpha. Alpha tells Echo his plan is to keep imprinting women as Caroline, slash them and then kill them. Paul and Boyd find Echo and Alpha and Paul catches the wedge containing Echo's identity. Through this act he saves the girl.
- At the end of the episode, Alpha is still free, which opens up a lot of possibilities for future episodes (that is if the show isn't canceled).
- Paul trades his freedom to work for the dollhouse in exchange for one woman's freedom. And wow was I surprised when this woman was not Caroline but instead Mellie.

I was more shocked with last week's episode that included the return of Alpha, but this episode was satisfying. Now I guess all there is to do is wait for the word about whether or not the show will be back for another season. Were you pleased with how it ended? Would you like to see the show return? Let me know.
