Welcome to Episode 9, A Spy in the House of Love, of Joss Whedon's Dollhouse starring Oliva Williams, Dichen Lachman and the lovely Fran Kranz oh and Eliza Dushku might be there wearing some leather. 

In this episode, there's a mole somewhere in the Dollhouse! Topher finds a chip and is freaking out! This is the one with Woger and Oliva in a smoking hot fencing outfit and where First Name Last Name gets sent to the attic. Eek. 

We wonder what Amy Acker (whose character name I still haven't solidified in my mind) really thinks about the Dollhouse and why she is there. Why Topher opens up to Echo in the first place and where Boyd's morals lie (it's complicated says Joss, probably). 

On this weeks TV tropes watch we wonder if anyone really has a wall with string irl (https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/StringTheory here's the TV tropes link if anyone wanted it, they call it String Theory). Other tropes include 'just one more thing' detective work and windows that smash satisfyingly into neat knife like shards to be used as weapons. Topher's sweater is probably itchy and he is clearly bewildered by the idea of a girl liking him (gay gay gay) but it's ok, he's in neuroplastic heaven. We wonder how the doll's don't remember waking up in the house and how Mellie's hypnotism is triggered; by the buttons on Dullard's shirt? 

We imagine actually being on a train and someone sitting next to you who is dressed as you down to the last detail. HOW DID SHE KNOW WHAT THE WOMAN WOULD BE WEARING? Finally, did Echo plant the chip revealing the spy to get rid of First Name Last Name? Are Boyd and Topher et al given counselling after this horrific event? Are they all just really messed up? Phew, we definitely need some of that tea.
