Quotes:

Laurence Dominic: Ma'am, do you have an exit strategy? We have a handler abusing an active, Federal Agent interrupting an engagement, spilling his guts to the nearest civilian. I take much of that as my responsibility. But the higher ups will target *you* if this all goes south.
Adelle DeWitt: Your concern is touching, but my bags are not packed. You will bring the handler to me. And as for the interpid agent, tell Topher to prep Echo. I think they're ready for a second date.

The best episode yet

We all knew that Whedon had it up his sleeve but was waiting to pull it out. This episode was simply brilliant. You expected four in one episode. This will be the episode that will guide the series from here. I was disappointed with some of the earlier episodes *cough*episode 1*cough*episode 3*cough* but this episode shows Whedon is back. The episode well, what can I say without going into spoiler territory? Well, it shows an enormous change in the FBI character's plot and a change to the way Echo will behave and it adds a new question to the story that you will have to see for yourself in the episode and it gave insight into the scale of the Dollhouse.
