Forced to flee the Los Angeles Dollhouse in the aftermath of the Rossum attack, the survivors of the Dollhouse head for Rossum's headquarters in Tucson, where they hope to prevent the apocalyptic future they've seen by destroying the company's mainframe computer system and the prototypes and plans for the remote wipe technology. But they are still unaware of the identity of Rossum's mysterious founder, and Echo/Caroline is unable to tell them. Meanwhile, Priya and Anthony reject their chance at a free life together in favor of returning to help their friends - but find everyone gone, and must piece together what happened in their absence. Written by Anonymous
After the shocking revelation at the end of the previous episode Adelle leads Boyd, Topher, Mellie, Ballard and an incoherent Caroline/Echo to the Rossum headquarters in Tuscon; at this point nobody suspects that one of their number is none other than Rossum's founder. When they arrive they are captured by its cofounder who is now occupying Whiskey's body. They soon learn of Rossum's diabolical plans and Caroline is ultimately told just why she is so important to the schemes. Meanwhile Priya and Anthony (Sierra and Victor) return to the Dollhouse and, with the help of Topher 2.0, discover the traitor's identity before heading to Tuscon to help the others.
This, the penultimate episode, answers many questions and provides some genuine surprises. I expected the big reveal from the previous episode to quickly be exposed to the other characters but it was delayed just the right amount of time in a way that made sense. Even then not everybody learnt at the same time leading to some impressively tense scenes. There is a good amount of action, including shooting, fighting and an explosion. The cast does a solid job; the best performance coming from Enver Gjokaj as Topher 2.0; he got the mannerisms and voice pattern spot on. It must be admitted that things were a little rushed at times but I'd rather that than have the series conclude with no real ending.
