Cut to Topher on the grounds of the clinic pedeconferencing with the aforementioned Asian doctor, who's saying that Priya has paranoid delusions and is usually incoherent. We switch to a shot of one of the buildings on the grounds, and as the Asian doctor talks about the fact that the daily treatments Nolan has been giving her seem to be ineffective for whatever reason, through the glass walls we see Nolan sitting with Priya. He comes out to greet the Asian doctor, which is a little odd, since Topher's right there and yet he didn't later mention having met him. Then again, he could have been thinking about how he needed to take his Whack-A-Mole game into the shop at that very moment. Nolan tells the Asian doctor that he thinks Priya is sedate enough for evaluation, so Asian Doctor and Topher head inside for a round of Priya, Interrupted, and while Dichen Lachman is perfectly convincing, TV-crazy is hardly groundbreaking stuff, so what you need to know is that she talks about how everyone there is a liar and she's being filled with poison to make her crazy, and she would be very, very happy to leave the place...
...and then there's a quick montage: Priya being manhandled out of the clinic, Present Sierra happily getting into the car to leave the place, Topher looking sad, Adelle barely bothering with the formality of a glass, Priya in a straitjacket getting injected with something, Sierra carrying a bag and still looking happy, Echo walking in on Sierra's first awful treatment, and Present Sierra walking into Nolan's place and telling him she's all his. I often want to vomit at the end of musical montages, but this one tried extra-hard at the end to make that happen.
Victor's still sitting and waiting for Sierra to return. Aw.
Adelle teeters her way into the lab to ask if the errand is finished, and when she gets confirmation that that's the case, she says that's good. However, Topher replies, "If you say so," prompting her to put a hand on his shoulder and offer this: "If you have actually managed to develop some pangs of conscience, you may rest in the knowledge that in this matter, you...you had no choice." Honey, that's not going to allay his conscience any, as you well know from the way it looks like you're about to vomit down his back. Adelle disappears back into the Dollhouse's catacombs, leaving Topher to look down at the "Priya Original" tape in his hand and reply, "No, I didn't." Ooh.
