...so let's move on to Adelle and Boyd entering the former's office to find Dollhouse co-chairman Clive Ambrose and a couple of his goons. Adelle's all sugary sweetness as she takes a seat at her desk, but Ambrose informs her he's taking over the house and liquidating its assets, effective immediately. After a glance at Boyd, she begs his pardon, but he tells her that nobody ever comes out of the Attic, and since there have been "multiple breaches," she's done. Boyd, however, has another opinion on the matter, as he quickly shoots the three of them dead in rapid succession. Adelle, who didn't even so much as blink, gives a smirk as she observes, "I guess we can all agree this carpet's done for," which is a line I'm not sure could be campier if Adam West had said it. She does react, though, when she sees that Boyd has sustained a bullet wound in his side, and although I only heard three shots -- one each for Ambrose and the two goons -- it's possible one of the goons fired at the exact same time. More problematic is the fact that none of them managed to get his weapon out of its holster, but the pace of the episode is not allowing me to dwell on such things. As Boyd collapses, Adelle rushes over all, "Mr. Langton!" like she's going to heal him through the sheer force of her Britishness. We'll have to wait until after the commercials to see if it works.

When we return, we see some fire trucks presumably headed in Rossum's direction, and then we're back with Caroline, who survived the explosions pretty much unscathed, which I guess I could buy if you consider that that lab might have been designed to be the most secure place in the building. Bennett, of course, didn't fare so well, now having her arm trapped under that support beam as we knew she eventually would. After Caroline tries and fails to free her, she sees Adelle, Laurence, and two security guys via a security feed and makes a quick decision -- she clips Bennett's ID to her lab coat and tells her to say she was working late when the building was attacked, hopefully absolving herself of any suspicion or blame in the process. Bennett, however, is irrational in her attachment to Caroline as she begs her not to leave her, prompting Caroline to say that line about the both getting nabbed if she stays -- which we now see was completely out of context, because it's her plan that she and she alone take the fall. Also, I think it was a different take from the one we originally saw, which doesn't surprise me. Anyway, since that's the part of the memory Bennett chose to share with Echo, it's safe to say she doesn't recall the situation rationally, not that that's a shocking revelation or anything. Bennett desperately begs her not to leave...
