Dollhouse

This week, Echo goes white water rafting with the client. No, really. It's outdoor adventure time. And then some outdoor sex. And then the dude tells her to start running because she has a 5-minute head start, and then he's going to hunt her and kill her. Guess the sex wasn't so good after all.

Of course Echo, with some assistance from her handler, ends up kicking the guy's ass and killing him.

We get some cool and informative "three months ago" flashbacks in which Alpha, the rogue Active, went on a murderous rampage in the Dollhouse. We also saw Echo getting her handler (the former one was killed by Alpha) and imprinting on him so that she always trusts him. Their relationship is cute. She gets rambly and excited after assignments and he's always like, "Mmm-hmmm, okay, sure." I don't know, it's just sweet.

Agent Helo (hey where the hell has Helo been in the last couple Battlestar Galacticas anyway?) gets a package from Alpha - a picture of Echo marked "Caroline" on the back, along with a message to "keep looking."

I'm definitely enjoying this show. It's doomed, I'm sure, but I like it.
