7 | !! Tropes present in this episode: |
8 | |
9 | * AlmostKiss: Topher and Bennett. Interrupted when she asks [[MomentKiller whom Topher is trying to resurrect]] (and learns offscreen that it's Caroline, whom she hates). [[AvertedTrope Averted]] later in the episode. |
10 | * BigBadFriend: Boyd, who is revealed by Caroline's memories to be the head of the Rossum Corporation. |
11 | * BloodSplatteredInnocents: Topher when Claire kills Bennett. |
12 | * BoomHeadshot: Bennett is on the receiving end of this, courtesy of Dr. Saunders. |
13 | * TheBusCameBack: Dr. Saunders. She is revealed to have been having a relationship with Boyd since she left the Dollhouse. |
14 | * ClueEvidenceAndASmokingGun |
15 | -->'''Caroline''': Let me guess... neuroscience? |
16 | -->'''Bennett''': How'd you know? |
17 | -->'''Caroline''': Fish. Brain food. Also brain books. ''[indicates Bennett's neuroscience textbooks]'' |
18 | * DelayedReaction: Adelle sees Dr. Saunders, walks off... and comes back a few seconds later to stare at her. |
19 | * GeekyTurnOn: Topher and Bennett are clearly attracted to each other's technical abilities. |
20 | * InsistentTerminology: When the man Caroline uses to sneak into Rossum calls her a thief, Caroline corrects him, "I'm not a thief, I'm a terrorist." |
21 | * KillTheCutie: Poor Bennett... |
22 | * OnceMoreWithClarity: We see more of the context around Bennett's memory of losing her arm, as well as one of the flashbacks (now present events) from [[Recap/DollhouseS01E13 "Epitaph One"]]. It turns out that Caroline abandoning Bennett wasn't an attempt to save her own skin at the latter's expense, but to avoid Bennett being punished for helping her. |
23 | * TheReveal: Boyd has been the BigBad all along; he's the head of Rossum, and Clyde's hidden partner. |
24 | * ShoutOut: |
25 | ** Caroline, upon seeing a picture of Bennett (played by Creator/SummerGlau): "[[Series/{{Firefly}} Bet you could kill me with your brain]]." |
26 | ** Clyde 5.0 reveals that the name "Rossum" is a reference to a play: [[Theatre/{{RUR}} R.U.R. by Karel Capek]] (Rossum's Universal Robots), in which a race of artificial biological automatons exterminate their human creators. Neither of the Rossum Corporation's co-founders is actually named Rossum. |
27 | * SkewedPriorities: In an otherwise tense flashback scene: |
28 | -->'''Adelle''': You have much to answer for, young woman. |
29 | -->'''Caroline''': I do? |
30 | -->'''Adelle''': Yes. You forced me to come to Arizona. I loathe Arizona. |
31 | * SplitPersonalityMerge: Echo and Caroline are finally reunited. |
32 | * ThatCameOutWrong |
33 | -->'''Topher''': Lab's in here! You showed me yours, let me... show you mine. ''[winces]'' |
