'''Season 2, Episode 8''':
!A Love Supreme
Someone's on a killing spree, and the victims have one thing in common: they've all been Echo's lovers.
-----
!! Tropes present in this episode:
* AllPsychologyIsFreudian: At least, the psychologist imprint Adelle uses on Victor is.
* BatmanGambit: Alpha's plan hinged on Adelle running wipes on every Active in the house after learning that Alpha was interfering with their operations. She does exactly that, in so doing infecting them with a virus that Sierra brought into the Dollhouse. The virus infected the imprint chair when she was wiped, and then infected every Active placed in the chair thereafter. When he enters the Dollhouse, he uses a tone generator to remotely activate their programming.
* DeadpanSnarker: Alpha, so very much.
* DeathByIrony: One of Echo's repeat customers is blown up by Alpha after he refers to his experiences with Echo as "a blast".
-->'''Alpha''': Who doesn't love a pun?
* FemmeFatale: We see Sierra with an imprint like this.
* KnifeNut: Alpha, natch.
* KubrickStare: Alpha has it down pat.
* SharpDressedMan: Alpha sports a very nice three-piece-suit in this episode.
-->'''Alpha''': Am I the only person who bothered to dress for this?
* ShoutOut: Alpha loves the British talent for understatement. And also [[Creator/MontyPython Python]].
** Alpha refers to the time Paul and Echo spent together during the time skip as their [[Film/ThreeDaysOfTheCondor Three Months of the Condor]].
* SignificantAnagram: One "E. Hap Lasher" reserved an engagement with Sierra. Rearranged, it spells "[[OhCrap Alpha's here]]".
* TemptingFate
-->'''Topher''': There is no way he'll [Alpha] break in here again!
* TitleDrop
-->'''Alpha''': You were meant for a love supreme!
* WhamShot: In the ColdOpen. The well-dressed man's face is obscured while his companion talks, until the very end: it's Alpha. Naturally, he promptly kills the man with a knife.
