Blog_6 Dollhouse

I watched the third episode in the first season of “Dollhouse,” but it wasn’t as good as the other episodes I have seen. Ecko this time is hired as a backup dancer, and her main job is to protect the lead singer, who is supposedly a target of a hit. The tour group hires a bunch of security guards and goes through a lot to keep the lead singer safe. Another person from the Dollhouse was hired as the lead singer, Rita’s, number one fan, who gets to hang out with her, as well as appear on stage. While this is going on, the Dollhouse is getting worried about exposing themselves to the public; what they are doing is extremely illegal. One private investigator isn’t making a lot of progress, but is determined to bring down the Dollhouse. He knows it exists, but nobody believes him and they think he is wasting his time. The owners of the Dollhouse (I still don’t know any of their names, or what they call themselves) are becoming aware of this investigator. The Boss-lady is extremely worried when she says, “Even a dumb dog can find a bone if it digs enough holes,” or something like that. Later in the episode, before Rita’s big concert, her and Ecko get into a fight, because Echo found out that somebody is trying to kill her onstage and Rita won’t have any of it. She thinks Echo is just trying to move her big moment. So sure enough they get on stage, and there is a sniper up above the audience. Right before he shoots, Ecko runs on stage and tackles Rita out of they way, just missing the shot. Everybody runs and panics out. The sniper got away, and took the Dollhouse girl, Rita’s number one fan, as a hostage. Well getting to the point, Ecko saves Rita’s life as well as the number one fan’s life by acting in a way that was not programmed into her. She acted to save the girls life, and she was only supposed to save Rita’s life, ironically by putting her in loads of danger. The Dollhouse people notice this, and the Boss-lady does not see it as a problem, but a positive part about their products. At the end, the other girl who was in on the job came over to greet her in the dollhouse, and Ecko nodded her off. They both know each other, but know it isn’t safe to act as friends, for that would be noticeable.
