Back at the Dollhouse, Ballard wonders who's left, and Boyd tells him there's just one guy who's not safely accounted for -- Joel Mynor, who you'll remember was played by Patton Oswalt. Boyd adds that every year, Mynor goes on a retreat to an unspecified location, and not even his family knows where. But, they realize, "Rebecca" might, and if she knows, Alpha does too, so they'd better find him immediately...

...and we cut to Mynor walking by himself on a beach when Ballard sidles up next to him. Not having the fondest memories of their last encounter, Mynor tries to tell Ballard to go away, rather amusingly attempting to trot through the sand as he does, but Ballard explains that he's with the Dollhouse now (hilariously prompting Mynor to call him a total weirdo) and they believe his life's in danger. Mynor says he's getting married and doesn't do the whole Dollhouse thing anymore, but changes his tune when Echo-as-Rebecca makes her appearance...

...and just like that, the bunch of them are back at the Dollhouse, and I certainly didn't think of it in the moment, but in retrospect it's worth noting that they might have considered that Alpha, three steps ahead of them at every other turn, didn't even catch them after they went all the way out to find Mynor and came all the way back. Adelle and Topher come out to greet them, and Adelle congratulates Mynor on his impending nuptials before telling him Topher will be only too happy to keep him techno-entertained for days at a time, and the hero worship written all over Topher's face suggests that's all too true. When "Rebecca" asks if she can stay with Mynor, he's like, "Sure, don't see the problem!" but Adelle is like, ixnay -- she's in need of a treatment. I think Adelle is just asserting her usual recent iron fist when it comes to Echo, but I'm sure Mynor's fiancée appreciates the sentiment. Once Topher's led Mynor away, Adelle drops the sunny smile and orders Echo to sit while she berates Ballard and Boyd for disobeying her command to put Echo back in solitary. She adds that she's aware of their "little cabal," and she will not consent to being "managed." Ballard apologizes before he gets slapped or much, much worse, and Adelle tells them to get Echo out of her sight while she deals with finding suitable accommodations for Mynor...
