It's time for Topher to go, and Adelle basically offers to go with him, but Topher says it has to be him alone. "I'll fix what we did to their heads; you fix what we did to the rest of the world." He smiles and adds that her job is way harder, and she manages to give him an answering smile before he heads away. Olivia Williams and Fran Kranz, I hope you get to work together again in the future, and that I get to see it.

Mag is sitting in a wheelchair watching over the Asian Techhead when Zone enters and is basically like "Bamp chicka wow wow!" Hee. Mag tells him to grow up, and he responds that he's taking YC back to the surface so she can become a ten-year-old again, after which he'll take care of her. Aw. They exchange some light sarcasm before Zone asks what Mag did, "before." She says she was in sociology at Berkeley, and he replies that he was a landscape architect. Even Mag has to laugh and say she wouldn't have guessed that, and he leaves with this: "People are such a mystery!" She smiles as she watches him go...

...and then Adelle is telling Echo that Alpha couldn't stay, as he was afraid he'd become what he was before. Now, if he's referring to his original personality, that makes no sense, as he could avoid that by staying put. However, if he's referring to the fact that Ballard, his anchor to all things good and pure, is gone from him, it adds up. To me VOMITING! Adelle then says she'll lead all the Dolls outside for the blast, as she's the only one who can, although Zone, another Actual, does join them, at least at first. Adelle smiles affectionately as she notes the irony of the situation: "Funny that the last fantasy the Dollhouse should fulfill would be yours." Echo bitterly says she doesn't have any fantasies, and if that's true she's got some really unimaginative personalities rattling around up top, but Adelle merely replies, "More's the pity," and pulls her into a loving embrace before heading off, and for all my problems with the finale, it's affecting at the end here. She turns back, though, and tells Echo Alpha said for her to dismantle all the tech in the building. "He said you should start with the chair." Echo looks after her...

...and oh, crap, it's going to be hard to watch Topher go through with this. He looks out at the world he unwittingly wrought...

...while Adelle gets everyone out, and YC and Echo look at each other before YC anvils to Zone about how she's the lucky one because she gets to start over, She frankly sounds kind of smug about it, and I love the actress but I still want to smack her. Also, I realize that the Actuals are getting the shit end of the stick here, given that they have to live with their horrible memories. No wonder Topher wanted out...
