I think I am going to continue with the theme of Dollhouse for as many blogs as I can because I’m starting to like the show. In episode three, Echo is once again tasked with helping keep someone alive, further proving that the dolls are being used only for good. The company gives Echo the memories and personality they think she needs. They also give her certain needs or feelings drawing her to directly protect the singer. The problem is, the singer wants to die and so is a threat to herself and the company didn’t prepare Echo to deal with a problem like that. Echo thought for herself outside of what she was directly “programmed” to do. The security director sees this and is starting to become worried that she might go crazy like Alpha did and wants to put her in the “attic.” I’m not quite sure what it is but it sounds like a place where they send their dolls when they are done playing with them. In the climax of the show, Echo saves her fellow operative Sigma, and becomes friends with her. Near the end of the episode, Sigma smiles at Echo and Echo shakes her head as if to say “don’t let them know we are friends,” hinting that she hasn’t completely lost her memories. This could foreshadow that Echo could turn into Alpha like the security director fears because Alpha apparently regained all the programming he had received without being implanted again and used it to kill people and escape.
