When the 5 actives are escaping, Echo sees a man dressed as a soldier come back into the building and she then decides to leave the others and go back into the Dollhouse. Why does she do this?
Echo sees the man dressed as a soldier coming back with his handler and puts together what they all must be: sex slaves. This is the point when they are all beginning to come back to their original selves and Echo instinctively decides to go back. Adelle even says that that is just like Echo to want to come back to help the others. So the reason that Echo goes back is because she is coming back to her senses and that is what she would have done before being programmed for Dollhouse.
Towards the end of the episode Echo's handler and Dr. Saunders are talking about what would have happened if Echo would have succeeded in freeing all of the actives. Why did the two differ on their opinions of whether or not that would have been bad?
Dr Saunders believes that, had Echo succeeded in freeing all of the actives, then they would have been lost in the world and would have lived a life of chaos and confusion. While Echo's handler seems to think that it would have been a good sight to see Echo succeed. The two differ because Dr Saunders believes that it is a good thing that Echo can no longer succeed in attempting to free the actives while her handler seems almost disappointed with the fact that Echo doesn't have the ability to make her own decisions.
Her handler was proud of her that she has the ability to save others.

ReplyDeleteIn your first question it shows that even as a Doll, Echo is strong enough to still have her very basic core values and shows that when she goes back for the man in the soldiers uniform.
