Dollhouse

This week, Echo is hired out to the government. There is a crazy religious cult that needs taking down, so a Senator goes to the Dollhouse for help. Echo's going to join the cult as a true believer, with a camera installed in her eyes that makes her blind, but transmits the video to the ATF.

The cult leader initially suspects Echo because he's wary of outsiders, but after some questioning, and a gun held to her head, he's satisfied.

The crazy cult has their crazy arsenal of guns, and the ATF begins to storm the compound. Cult leader assumes it's because of Echo and smacks her around enough to knock out the camera and restore her sight. At one point after she had regained her sight, Echo had to read from the Bible. Now if she was blind since she was 9, and hadn't read in 10+ years, would she really be able to read? Hmmm.

Cult leader does what all cult leaders do when threatened, and starts a fire to kill everyone. But Echo knocks him out (is this old imprinting making her so violent?) and leads everyone to safety. Her Handler comes in to rescue her, like he always does (and I love him for it) and all is well.

Agent Helo sees Echo in one of the news reports. Of course, he knows her as Caroline because a super-secret admirer sent him a picture and now a video of her. He heads to the scene and talks to the lead ATF agent. The agent doesn't say anything, I suppose because her undercover operation is supposed to be a secret. And now Agent Helo could always just think Caroline went all cult-y.

Back at the Dollhouse, Victor pops a boner while in the shower with Sierra. Oops. The actives aren't supposed to do that apparently.
