I Spy With My Little Eye… An NSA Agent!

...which sets off the alarm when she leaves. The guard uses a scanner to check her over, but she quickly knocks him out and flees...

...and soon a security alert is announced. She makes it into "her" office, and uses her computer to, I think, decrypt the files, causing the plastic sheet to light up with information, which was pretty cool. However, the picture showing the mole's identity doesn't quite have time to form before some guy enters and tells her they're moving everyone down to the lobby...

...and then Sierra's walking down the hall with a bunch of other employees. Soon, however, she takes her leave of the herd and calls in for a roof extraction. She starts to head up the stairs, but hears some security coming down, so she moves in the other direction. Coming back out of the stairwell, she removes her wig as she breaks into a dead run, but I think she would have been better served to lose the heels, which slow her down to the point she barely avoids being shot as she rounds a corner. She makes it to the roof door and sees the chopper coming for her, but the door is locked, and it's not like I mind the act break here but I'm not thrilled that we never get to see how she's going to kick some ass and get out of this one.

Victor comes out of the chair in his "British" imprint, and his handler tells him "Catherine" is dying to see him. As Victor's on his way out, Ivy enters, and Topher bitchily accuses her of fiddling with the equipment and making it run slowly. Ivy gives Topher as good as she got, and after she stomps off, Roger, having learned to be suave in the ways of women in "England," tells Topher he thinks she likes him. Topher looks like that never would have occurred to him, which is fitting on more than one level...

...and then we see we're playing timeline games again, as "Roger" and Ramirez run into Boyd and Bondage Barbie. Ramirez once again asks how pathetic the "old bag" is...

...and then the van drops Victor, bearing flowers, off, saying he'll see Ramirez at the end of the "weekend." At the door to the house, an older blonde woman opens up and accepts the flowers, but no sooner has she cooed over them before Victor's headed out the back door...

...and into a silver convertible, which he drives off...

...to another, rather larger house, which he enters and heads out to the balcony. He greets "Catherine" -- or ADELLE, and they make out. Well, you can fault her on a lot of fronts, but taste is not one of them. Her phone rings, and Victor grabs it and playfully asks who Topher is. Rather than assure him that he's really got nothing to worry about, she says they think she's at HQ, and the call could be very urgent. "Or it could be Topher calling to tell me that his sweater's itchy." Heh. With her tacit permission, Victor errs on the side of having sex sooner as he "accidentally" tosses the phone over the oceanside balcony before saying he can see she needs to relax. She confesses that it's been "very rocky" at work, and Victor makes an unnecessary ironic comment about how he's still trying to wrap his mind around the concept of the Dollhouse. Adelle tells us she used to head a division that grew stem cells into replacement organs, and back then, she could tell people what she did for a living. That certainly rules out her having lived in many parts of this country. Victor asks if she isn't helping lonely people now, but she takes aim at herself by way of correcting him: "Pathetic, self-deluding souls." You're hard to argue with, lady. He suggests they take the conversation elsewhere...
