A Sinister Scientist

Perrin comes to with a start and tries to wake Echo up, but she's too busy experiencing Bennett's memory. Somehow, in the midst of some disaster, her arm got pinned under a fallen support beam, and we hear her begging Echo not to leave her. Echo then wakes up, and the effect of whatever Bennett did is that she, too, cannot move her left arm, so she clutches it uselessly as Perrin hustles her out of there. We then pull back to see Bennett watching this transpire on a monitor, so presumably she's facilitating their escape, which explains why Perrin was unrestrained when he awoke. Of course, given that she then bangs her head into the glass, breaking it, it could just all be due to the extreme CRAZY and all. Actually, having seen the rest of the episode, I'm guessing that rather than let Echo return safely to L.A., she decided to set up a scenario that ends in Perrin killing her. Doesn't mean she's not a nut, though.

Bennett staggers back into the room in which she left Topher, and seeing her bloodied forehead, rushes over to her aid. He asks if she can tell him what happened, and when she says that it was Echo, he gets panicky, not surprisingly. She adds that Echo kidnapped Perrin, which is a lie, obviously, but fits with the fact that she took him from the safe house in L.A., so Topher's look of horror is perfectly understandable. I can also forgive the no-doubt-extreme clamminess of his hands.

Out in the street, Perrin's trying to understand what's going on, and we see Echo flash back to the memory again, in which Bennett is begging "Caroline" not to leave her there. Caroline, however, callously says if she stays, they both get nabbed (by whom is an interesting question). Of course, we don't know that this implanted memory actually happened, but it seems likely, and Echo certainly thinks it did, and says it feels bad to experience what Bennett felt. Perrin opines that if she was in fact imprinted, she doesn't seem "finished," but drops that idea to tell her that someone must be helping him, since the escape route from the Dollhouse was imprinted in his head. Echo, however, thinks the Dollhouse will come for them because of the GPS trackers in their necks, and says they have to cut them out. We then see them enter a restaurant and head for the back, surreptitiously grabbing a steak knife off a table on the way, and I guess this explains why so many restaurants only produce silverware after you sit down. They head into the bathroom (without LOCKING THE DOOR, like, anyone coming in to pee is in for quite a shock) and Echo hands Perrin the knife, but when she turns to expose the nape of her neck, Perrin balks. Echo says she'll show him how to do it...
