Echo has apparently set Galena, or "Lisa," as her new ID reads, up with a new identity, which I guess makes up for the time where she got her imprisoned for crackers she didn't steal and almost got her killed several different ways. After thanking Echo and opining she's the "strangest women [she's] ever met" (don't get out much, do you), she leaves, and Ballard cautions her that "things are going to be a lot harder once we get back to the Dollhouse." Especially if you keep hanging out by the communal shower. Speaking of which, Echo kisses Ballard, and he doesn't exactly break it off for the first five minutes, but stops short of having sex with her with kind of a jerky remark about her multiple personalities, and then Boyd shows up anyway and asks Echo if she's ready to come home. Echo looks at Boyd but sarcastically directs this at Ballard: "I try to be my best." Heh, nice. The look on Ballard's face says this is going to be a long trip before we head into the last commercial break.

Topher returns to his hidey-hole...and the plans are gone. He freaks, but then gets quiet as he realizes what happened...

...which is that Adelle lifted the plans and brought them to Keith Carradine. Ouch, especially given the esteem Topher always had for Adelle. Keith Carradine is pleased, although he opines that she only did it so he'd give her the House back. Adelle, however, demurs, saying she knows how much Rossum has at stake, and while she used to think they could help people, she sees now that power is always used to get more power, and if that's what Rossum's doing she doesn't want to stand against them. They shake hands, and Keith Carradine, perhaps having gotten a choked, breathless warning from Ray Wise, says he has to ask -- did she ever consider imprinting a Doll to kill him? Adelle counters that she'd like to think she would have had the courage to do it herself, and when he offers her a celebratory cigar, informs him, "There's no smoking in my office. But we could each down a fifth of something and get freaky." Some of that may have been implied.
