In the year 2020, one year after the events of "Epitaph One", Echo and her team rescue Topher and the last of the Actuals (guest stars Felicia Day, Adair Tishler, and Zack Ward) from the hands of the Rossum Corporation after he reveals that he can restore the world to order. After reuniting with Tony, who is a tech-head, Echo and her team race to Los Angeles, which is now a war zone. They fight their way in through the butchers, mindless killing machines, and Paul Ballard is killed. Echo breaks down, and Priya and Tony argue about why they are no longer together. Alpha (guest star Alan Tudyk) returns and reveals that he has taken over the Dollhouse and is using it as a refuge for wiped beings, reformed from his past. Tony renounces the tech, and Priya reveals that her son T is Tony's son and is named after his father. Topher uses help from recordings of Bennett Halverson (guest star Summer Glau), and sacrifices his own life to detonate the wiping signal into the ionosphere, dispersing it over the world and restoring everyone's mind to order. DeWitt begins the clean-up process as Tony, Priya and T reunite as a family. Echo finds one final gift from the imprinting technology and downloads Paul's personality within her. With the memory of her lover literally living inside of her, Echo settles down to sleep in her old sleep pod to dream of Paul and of a world restored to sanity with a smile on her face.

As the group leaves for Tucson to take down Rossum, Boyd attempts to sabotage its efforts by drugging Echo. Boyd uses Topher's trust to serve Rossum's agenda by tricking Topher into finishing his remote wipe/imprinting technology. Anthony and Priya, who were told in the previous episode to spend their last night together, return to the Dollhouse and discover that Boyd has been betraying them all along. Boyd reveals that he has spared the group's lives because he loves them like family. Caroline has a special genetic trait, expressed in her spinal fluid, which allows her to survive the wipes. Boyd watched over Echo and allowed her to be pushed to her limits in order to allow her to form a complete personality, as every time she "survives" a wipe the gene's expression grows stronger, allowing for Rossum to create a "cure" for wiping. Boyd activates Mellie's sleeper programming and she fights it off long enough to tell Paul that she loved him before killing herself. Echo manages to fight off Clive 2.0, now in the body of Whiskey, before having her final confrontation with Boyd. Topher erases Boyd's personality with the mind-wipe tech he created and hates, leaving him in a doll state. Echo uses Boyd to destroy Rossum's headquarters, leaving him behind to initiate the explosion. But, ten years later, despite Echo's best efforts, Rossum has managed to bring about the apocalyptic future of "Epitaph One."

The primary wedge containing Caroline's mind is found to be missing. Adelle has Bennett Halverson (guest star Summer Glau) kidnapped to aid Topher in repairing Caroline's backup wedge, which Alpha damaged in "Briar Rose". November, who was placed in the D.C. Dollhouse, is brought back with Bennett. A series of flashbacks reveal that Caroline became a terrorist and a freedom fighter working against Rossum for two years, and that Bennett's maiming was an accident, and that Caroline allowed Bennett to remain pinned under the debris so that Bennett could claim she was an innocent victim. It is revealed that Boyd now has a romantic relationship with Dr. Claire Saunders (former regular Amy Acker), who returns to the Dollhouse at his request. Dr. Saunders shoots Bennett Halverson before she can finish repairing Caroline's wedge, then leaves, leading the Dollhouse staff to conclude that she is a sleeper active. Topher, who loved Bennett, overcomes the shock of losing her and finishes repairing Caroline's wedge. As the Rossum Corporation invades the Dollhouse, Echo downloads Caroline's memories, which reveal the identities of Rossum's leaders: the current incarnation of Clyde (the so-called "Clive 2.0"), and the co-founder of the Rossum Corporation... Boyd Langton.

The Attic is revealed as the heart of the Dollhouse. Echo, Priya and Anthony are all suspended in a permanent dream-state where they must continuously relive their worst nightmares. Echo is able to overcome it... only to meet Laurence Dominic (former regular Reed Diamond), who is also in control of himself within the Attic. They jump to different minds in an effort to stop a shadow-killer calling himself Arcane, and shortly free Anthony and Priya. Together they find Arcane's true identity: Clyde, co-founder of Rossum, whose partner turned on him and placed him in the Attic in 1993. The group discovers that the Attic networks its victims' brains into a sort of super-computer, each kept in a perpetually adrenaline-drenched state for peak efficiency; in this capacity, Clyde has been able to conquer his worst fear

Victor's contract with the Dollhouse expires, and he is returned to his true personality: Anthony Ceccoli, a former Army Ranger who signed a contract with the Dollhouse to cure him of a severe case of post-traumatic stress disorder. Echo confronts Sierra with the knowledge that Victor will not be coming home, which causes Sierra considerable distress as she declares that Victor "isn't ready to be alone yet." Anthony is captured by a group of military personnel. When DeWitt passes out drunk at her desk, Boyd engages Echo's help to track down Anthony, only to discover a new arm in the Rossum conspiracy: they have engaged Anthony as one of many ex-Actives (including some of Anthony's ex-Army teammates) in a plot to create the perfect team of super-soldiers who all think the same thoughts and share each other's minds. Echo imprints Sierra with her original personality, Priya, and together they free Anthony, whose love for Priya/Sierra overrides the "group think" of Rossum's army. Echo gives herself the same implant as the super-soldiers and uses the overwhelming force of her nearly 50-minds-in-one to permanently deactivate their fighting orders and sends them home to regain what they've lost. But DeWitt captures them after their escape, and consigns all three of them to the Attic.

Echo's previous romantic engagements begin to surface as murder victims one by one. Alpha (guest star Alan Tudyk) has returned with his murderous obsession with Echo to seek his revenge. DeWitt begins to grow increasingly suspicious of Ballard. Echo, Ballard and Langton recruit Topher into their conspiracy to take down the Dollhouse. Alpha shows up in Adelle's office and reveals that Ballard and Echo were together through those three missing months. Alpha uses an upgraded piece of technology from "Gray Hour" to make the dolls turn on the Dollhouse staff and captures Ballard, who he feels is the only real competition he has for Echo's affections. Topher and Langton manage to restore order with Topher's new remote wipe technology but not before Alpha imprints himself with Ballard and tortures Ballard to the point of causing permanent brain damage, leaving Paul in a vegetative state. Echo fights Alpha and Ballard's mind takes over for a moment, begging her to kill him. She is unable to kill Paul, however, and Alpha, shaken, regains control and runs from the Dollhouse. Echo is seen with Ballard, who is on life support machines.

After escaping into the world at large, over the course of three months Echo has finished evolving into a full personality, able to access any of her nearly forty imprints at will. She and Paul Ballard train together to take down Rossum, running a "practice test" by breaking into a prison and freeing a wrongfully-imprisoned woman. Echo reveals that she has fallen in love with Paul, who returns her feelings but out of a sense of honor won't allow himself to act on them. Back at the Dollhouse, meanwhile, DeWitt has been demoted and Harding has taken over. Topher unveils remote wipe tech he had been designing for Rossum. Topher later reveals to Adelle in confidence that he discovered Rossum's intent to create a machine to imprint anyone, anywhere, and that he figured out how to build it. Adelle betrays Topher's trust and gives the technology to Rossum to regain control of the Dollhouse. Echo and Ballard return.

Bennett reveals that she and Caroline were once friends, until Caroline left Bennet trapped under debris after an explosion. Bennett imprints Echo with Bennett's memories of Caroline's betrayal. Ballard is unable to sway Madeline from her decision, and she goes to testify to the senate. Meanwhile, Adelle tells Topher to find a way to gain access to Perrin's brain scans. Topher has imprinted Victor with Topher's own personality to provide support in LA. Echo escapes with Perrin into the real world, determined to bring down Rossum and expose everything. Perrin's handler is dispatched to get them back. Adelle meets with Lipman, who reveals Perrin will have Rossum vindicated at the senate hearings and attack their competitors so that Rossum will be unopposed and given free political rein. Bennett and Topher, seemingly lovestruck by each other, adapt Topher's incapacitating device to remotely knock out Dolls based on their unique brain scans. Bennett, however, remotely programs Perrin to kill Echo. Topher knocks Bennet out and overrides the programming with help from Victor/Topher, but not until after Perrin kills his handler. Perrin shows up at the hearing late and reveals his wife is dead. He then pronounces Rossum a good corporation who has been set up by their immoral competitors, that there is no Dollhouse, and that Madeline Costley is a disturbed woman who was in a mental institution in Canada. Madeline is then taken to the D.C. Dollhouse and has her personality wiped, turning her once more into the Active November. Back in LA, Topher reveals that Perrin could never turn against Rossum, and DeWitt speculates that Rossum is likely grooming him to be the next President of the United States. Echo is loose in the world at large, Ballard has not checked in recently, and Rossum appears ascendant...

United States Senator Daniel Perrin has been trying to bring down the Dollhouse for months, but he has never been a danger

Flashbacks show Sierra's original identity as Priya Tsetsang, a gifted artist who is being pressured romantically by a man named Nolan; her admission into the Dollhouse was predicated on Topher developing a cure for her persistent and overwhelming schizophrenia. In the present day, Nolan

While Echo is imprinted as a college student to play out a sick fantasy of a rich professor, Victor is imprinted with the personality of Terry Karrens, the insane nephew of one of the Dollhouse's rich benefactors (guest star Michael Hogan)

Echo is imprinted as the mother to a newborn baby, and Topher has outdone himself by imprinting her so deeply that she has even begun to lactate. Things take a turn for the worse when Echo becomes so attached to the baby that when the father tries to call off the engagement a terrified Echo runs away with her child. Meanwhile, the Dollhouse is reeling after Saunders has taken Boyd Langton's advice and escaped from the Dollhouse, and Ballard has to confront his own confused feelings when DeWitt brings Madeline Costley

It's been nearly five months since Alpha's escape, and Echo has seemingly been wiped of all 32 personalities Alpha imprinted her with. Ballard must deal with his growing feelings for Echo as he uses the Dollhouse for his own ends, hiring Echo on a long-term engagement as the 'wife' of major arms dealer Martin Klar (special guest star Jamie Bamber), who Ballard could never capture during his days in the FBI

S2E02 : Instinct

S2E12 : The Hollow Men

S2E11 : Getting Closer

No. There was a purpose to everything in season 1. They were setting up the atmosphere of the show and the evolution of Echo. It was at exactly the right pace and all the pieces at the end fell into place. Season 1 was just as great as season 2.
