* What happens to Priya. At least we know most of the other Dolls signed up for their five years, but she was abducted, drugged up to simulate psychosis and then enslaved, getting raped both by the man who ensured this would happen to her and by her own handler. Perhaps worst of all is the anguish of a pre-Dollhouse Priya telling her doctors and Topher that a man is filling her veins with poison and driving her insane, them writing this off as a classic delusion of the mentally ill but the audience knowing it is quite literally true.

** There's apparently a very large number of people who are fine with killing people in order to take over their bodies. That alone should make you want to set yourself on fire and hope there is a better world than this.

* Fiddling with the mind-wiping tech enables one to generate what is essentially an unending stream of agonizing, searing pain, as Bennett so gleefully demonstrates on Caroline. And worse, it leaves ''no'' marks and mind-wiping can eliminate the memory of it ever happening, so it is easy to cover up. Even worse than that, though, is Bennett's description of how it works, which mentions that she can prevent you from even ''passing out'' from the shock.

* It's debatable which is the more terrifying sequence: watching [[spoiler: Dominic]] get wiped and sent to the Attic...or when they bring him ''back.'' In the ''wrong body.'' Causing the usually stoic character to ''freak the fuck out.''
* And if you thought that was scary, wait until we visit there in the appropriately-named episode "The Attic". It turns out the Attic is actually [[spoiler: a supercomputer run on the adrenaline and nightmares of the people sent there,]] including a man eating sushi made FROM HIS OWN FLESH.
* The very idea of the Dollhouse is terrifying, the technology exists that can wipe your mind away and turn you into a blank zombish slave never questioning ANYTHING, often being put in extremely dangerous situations that your imprint may or may not have prepared you for, you could easily die as a doll, which for some reason I find more creepy than dying know who you really are.
* Oh and Alpha, psychotic rogue active who likes to kill people by surgically slicing them up in the most painful way possible, ''in eight seconds flat''.
* A {{flashback}} in Omega showed the start of Alpha's murderous rampage: him slashing at an active's face with pruning shears, him being pushed into the chair and twisting and crying out in pain as he is caught in the chairs "imprint field" (he's a lot further away from it than an active usually is, making you wonder how close you have to be to get caught in it), then he snarls at his handler "I understand hell now!" and crushes his eyeballs with his thumbs. Then an old man walks in, sees Alpha, screams, and everything goes black... all made worse because before all that Alpha was telling Echo she was special and litrally "watching his step".
* Epitaph One. Welcome to the ulitmate CrapSackWorld. While walking down the street you can be wiped and/or imprinted, you can end up in any body, and you can be instantly wiped away, you can be programed to kill everybody who is not imprinted to kill everybody who is not imprinted. Not to mention whose killing everyone in the Dollhouse, because in such a world you cannot trust anybody is who they say they are. Rossum selling active's bodies to extrememly rich people so they can live forever, and Topher's ramblings, which seem at first completely nonsensical, until you realise he's just worked out that thanks to the technology he practically invented he could have made whole armies out of people answering their phones. And then the whole second season gets creepier and creepier as we see events leading closer and closer to the world of Epitaph One.
