* PsychoPrototype: The Dollhouse at one point offered freedom to prisoners in exchange for their service as a Doll. Thus, Carl William Craft became Alpha, though some of his crazy and psychotic tendencies began resurfacing, such as randomly kissing Echo mid-sentence or stabbing [[spoiler: Whiskey]] with bonsai clips.
