Wellllll, hello listener! Welcome to epsiode 11 of Dollhouse - Briar Rose. In this ep we are absolutely overwhelmed with sub plots and storylines, moles within moles! The one with the big reveal!

We wonder what the difference between Briar Rose and Sleeping Beauty is and confuse ourselves with fairy tale plot lines. We try to keep up with the many layers and metaphors going on. We feel sorry for the writers who put in a whole b-plot that must have been edited out - links to screenshots of newspaper articles about the body found in the cold open - https://rwec.co.uk/witt/briar-rose.html

We are uncomfortable with Dullard and wonder if we are meant to be. We learn what a stair riser is and that we too are afraid of stairs with them missing. We also learn who Paul Bunyan is, but why the blue ox? Why was this whole bit put in if it was not really referred to again? Who was the man in the dumpster?  Why doesn't Dullard care about the other dolls, is it because he just doesn't fancy them? Who wouldn't fancy Victor?! Who sent the encrypted thumb drive to First Name Last Name? What exactly does happen to people in the attic?  Is Alpha toying with all of them? And most importantly, where is Judith with that tea?
