In this, the unaired pilot for the show, we see Echo in several or her roles as an Active, as well as hear a discussion between Adelle and a possible client describing the nature of an Active. FBI Agent Paul Bower makes contact with Russian mobster Victor, asking about an urban legend called a "Dollhouse". Topher discusses his concerns about the Actives retaining some instinctual information, while Boyd expresses his moral concerns with regards to the Dollhouse concept.
