FBI Agent Paul Ballard is assigned to investigate the Dollhouse and is having difficulty navigating the case.

Echo begins to exhibit traits mirroring a rugged outdoorsman, while Agent Ballard gains a potential breakthrough in uncovering her true identity.

Echo and Sierra are reprogrammed to track down a traitor within the Dollhouse, while Ballard gets unexpected news from Mellie and Adelle keeps a hidden secret.

Adelle uses Echo to imprint the memories and personality of her murdered wealthy friend in order to solve the case. Meanwhile, Ballard investigates Mellie's past, and Topher covertly works on programming Sierra for an engagement.

Ballard traces the Dollhouse's origins to its reclusive creator, a designer suffering from agoraphobia, portrayed by Alan Tudyk, while Echo uses the tale of "Sleeping Beauty" to help a young girl confront her trauma and gain insight into her own potential future. Meanwhile, Adelle searches the attic for clues, and Alpha emerges, beginning to execute his plan.

Echo investigates the murders of her past romantic partners, leading the Dollhouse to suspect a return of Alpha. Adelle becomes wary of Ballard's intentions as he seeks support from Boyd and Topher. Tensions escalate as the Actives rebel against their handlers, resulting in a permanent mind-wipe for one house member.

Victor, released from the Dollhouse as his contract ends, faces challenges reintegrating into civilian life while dealing with the consequences of his military history and his relationship with Sierra. At the same time, Echo is considered too unstable and is subjected to a traumatic simulation designed to break her.

Adelle, Boyd, and the Dollhouse staff become concerned that Echo's unstable mind imprints may jeopardize their mission, so they send her to "the Attic," where she must confront her greatest fear to have a chance at survival.

Adelle recognizes that Echo's original personality holds the key to preventing a catastrophic future, prompting Topher to urgently attempt its reconstruction. As Echo and Bennett uncover their shared history, the identity of Rossum's enigmatic leader also comes to light.
