Caroline has a meeting with Adelle DeWitt, the boss of the Dollhouse, discussing the problems she is running away from. Adelle offers her a five-year stay at the Dollhouse, and Caroline decides to become an Active of the Dollhouse. Actives have had their personalities wiped clean so they can be imprinted with any number of new personas. Hired by the wealthy, powerful and connected, the Actives don't just perform their hired roles; they wholly become – with mind, personality and physiology – whomever the client wants or needs them to be.
Victor imprinted as Lubov and begins to misinform Paul Priya Tsetsang is sent to the Dollhouse by Nolan Kinnard and becomes Sierra, replacing a previous Sierra. Alpha sends Paul Ballard a picture of Caroline Farrell Echo begins to show signs of growing awareness

Alpha kills and impersonates Steven Kepler, to mislead Paul Ballard Paul and Alpha infiltrate the Dollhouse. Alpha slashes Victor's face, abducts Echo and steals her wedges. Alpha briefly creates "Omega", a composite of all of Echo's imprints, who rebels against him. Paul cooperates with Boyd to track down Alpha and saves Caroline's backup wedge from destruction. Paul agrees to be a contractor for the Dollhouse in exchange for releasing November and returning her to her original identity, Madelaine Costley. Claire learns of her status as an Active, but does not investigate her original identity. (end of season 1)
Start of Season 2
Senator Daniel Perrin targets Rossum for investigation. Adelle orders the reconstruction of Victor's face. Whiskey/Dr. Saunders flees the Dollhouse. Echo can remember her other identities. Paul becomes Echo's handler. An unknown source gives Perrin information about the Dollhouse. Topher develops an early version of remote wiping/imprinting technology. Nolan Kinnard attempts to purchase Sierra permanently from the Dollhouse. Topher imprints Sierra with Priya's original personality. Priya kills Kennard in self-defense. Topher and Boyd cover up the murder and return Priya to the Sierra imprint. Boyd secretly gives Echo an all access security pass. Perrin presents Madeline Costley to the media as a victim of the Dollhouse Echo is used to frame Perrin for adultery, but instead Perrin is revealed to be an Active, with his wife Cindy Perrin as his handler. Perrin and Echo are taken to the Washington DC Dollhouse, where Bennett Halverson tortures Echo and imprints Echo with some of Benett's memories. Benett then lets Echo and Perrin escape. Benett remote imprints Perrin as an assassin to kill Echo, killing his handler Cindy Perrin along the way. Topher shuts down the assassin imprint. Perrin tells the Senate that Rossum is being framed by its competitors, that Madeline is delusional, and there is no Dollhouse, as was planned. Echo, in doll state, flees into the Washington DC area. Madeline Costley is captured by the DC Dollhouse. Echo and Paul meet secretly. Echo develops a high degree of control over her ability to access her imprints. Matthew Harding demotes Adelle and takes over direct management of the LA Dollhouse. Topher constructs a prototype remote wiping and imprinting device, but keeps it a secret from Harding. Adelle gives Topher's plans to Harding to regain control of her branch. Echo and Paul return to the Dollhouse. Alpha kills most of Echo's romantic engagement clients, then infiltrates the LA Dollhouse. He uses his own technology to make the Actives turn on the staff, then scans and wipes Paul, then imprints Paul into himself. Echo is unable to kill Alpha, who escapes. Paul is left comatose. Victor's contract expires and he returns to his former identity of Anthony Ceccoli. He is recruited by Scytheon, a private military company subsidiary of Rossum, and absorbed into a military group mind. Boyd takes control over the Dollhouse from a drunken Adelle, and sends Echo and Sierra (imprinted as Priya) to rescue Anthony. Adelle sobers up. Topher and Ivy repair Paul's brain, though the a cost of his love for Echo. Adelle sends Echo, Anthony and Priya to the Attic. In the Attic, Echo meets Laurence Dominic and Clyde Randolph, one of the two founders of Rossum, and learns the purpose of the Attic, and sees the predicted collapse of civilization. Echo, Anthony and Priya escape the Attic, and join Adelle in her conspiracy against Rossum (along with Boyd, Paul, Topher and Ivy). Topher, Paul and Anthony abduct Bennett from the DC Dollhouse so that she can reconstruct the damaged wedge containing Caroline Farrell. Paul also rescues back Madeline/November. Boyd brings Claire back to the Dollhouse. Clive Ambrose attempts to arrest Adelle, only to be shot by Boyd. Adelle orders that all the Actives be given their original identities back, then prepares the Dollhouse for lockdown. Echo sends Anthony and Priya away for their own safety. Laurence escapes the Attic, but can't survive long outside of it. Adelle sends him back, to help their plans from inside the Rossum mainframe. November is imprinted as Mellie. Claire kills Bennett. Topher recovers from shock, sends Ivy away, and finishes work on the Caroline wedge. Rosssum troops invade the Dollhouse just as Echo is imprinted with Caroline. Boyd returns to the LA Dollhouse and drugs Echo so she seems insane. He and the others head to Rossum headquarters in Tucson, Arizona to destroy the mainframe. They also meet Whiskey imprinted as Clive Ambrose. Boyd manipulates Topher into completing a hand-portable remote wipe-imprint gun. Echo recovers and exposes Boyd. Boyd explains his plan to expose Caroline Farrell to multiple wipes so that she would develop an immunity, and that would be the basis for a vaccination-like treatment. Tony and Priya return to the abandoned LA Dollhouse. Tony is imprinted with Topher and then upgrades himself with combat skills. Rossum scientists attempt to harvest Echo's spinal fluid. Tony and Priya infiltrate Rossum headquarters and rescue Echo. Paul and Mellie attempt to destroy the mainframe's cooling system. Boyd uses a recording of Adelle to activate Mellie's killer programming. Mellie resists for a moment and shoots herself. Echo fights Whiskey/Clive. Topher uses the wipe-imprint gun to wipe and imprint Boyd as an Active. Echo orders imprinted Boyd to take a bomb into the chamber containing the Rossum mainframe.
Future Events
(Order of events is unclear)
Rossum begins selling "full body upgrades", copying wealthy clients into Actives permanently. Adelle objects to this and turns against Rossum. (Possibly a distorted memory or fantasy belonging to Topher or Adelle.) Topher devises a way of transmitting wipes and imprints via phone lines. Laurence Dominic is re-imprinted to his original body and confronts Adelle DeWitt. Mass wipes and imprints convert most people into "Dumbshows" or "Butchers", causing society to collapse. Topher goes insane from guilt over the use of his technology. The Dollhouse becomes a shelter and community for the Actives, including Anthony, Priya, Adelle and Claire. Caroline/Echo, along with Paul, return to the Dollhouse to make multiple backups of herself to guide others to "Safe Haven". Whiskey is wiped, or reverts, to her Active state and remains alone in the Dollhouse.
2019
Events of special "Epitaph One". A group of refugees (mainly "actuals") stumble into the abandoned Los Angeles Dollhouse and meet Whiskey. Caroline/Echo is imprinted into a young girl, Iris, and they leave in search of "Safe Haven."
2020
Finale http://dollhouse.wik...aph_Two:_Return
An evolved, peaceful version of Alpha reconstructs the Dollhouse, inhabited by doll-state Actives.
Iris the child imprinted with Echo's personality, Zone and Mag are rescued by Paul and Echo in a Rossum Compound in Tucson called Neuroplolis. There, Matthew Harding lives on in a series of bodies along with Clive Ambrose, the last of Rossum's cabal of leaders.
Paul's true mission: to rescue Topher. Topher has been kidnapped by Rossum in order to amplify his tech to complete a global mind-wipe. For each day that he failed to accomplish his task, a new innocent victim was murdered in front of him. As a result, Topher has fallen into apparently irreparable schizophrenia. However, he reveals to his friends that he has secretly forced himself to design a way to restore the world to its true order.
Echo, after assassinating Harding once more (despite his taunts that backup copies of his mind remain), leads the group to Safe Haven, where Adelle DeWitt and Priya Tsetsang are living together with a young boy named T, who is Priya's son. After introductions, the group discusses the implications of what Topher is capable of, and they realize that if they used the tech, it would mind-wipe all with Active architecture, so that they would forget. In order to keep their minds and to get Topher the tech they need, they must all go underground and return to the Los Angeles Dollhouse. Caroline reveals to Paul that Echo is still in love with him, even if she won't say it.
Anthony Ceccoli and a group of fierce tech-head warriors arrive in order to transport them to Los Angeles, which is now a war zone. Priya reveals that Tony's addiction to self-improvement by the tech has led to their breaking up, and that T is Tony's son. Tony and Priya agreed to keep T away from any and all technology, and thus away from Tony. T has no idea that Tony is his father. Zone and Mag argue about what to do, and Zone finally gives in and agrees to go with them. Mag reveals that she is a lesbian and begins flirting with Kilo, who has joined the tech-heads.
On the road trip, Priya and Tony fight about what he gave up in order to continue down the technological path, and she tells him that he did everything for her but the one thing she asked him to. He tells her that he's been fighting the war for her, and for their son, and they can't come to an agreement. Adelle continues to try to coax Topher to calm down, but even with Caroline's help she can't. It is revealed that the tech-heads can't download any new skills without taking one away, and that only Echo can retain all of her imprints at once. Paul mentions that Echo now has at least 100 imprints living within her, in her complete control.
Meanwhile, Echo and Paul talk about Echo's loneliness, and how she never lets him in, even though they both want to. He indicates that they've been together sometimes when Echo was sure they were about to die, and Echo can't refute his words. They come to an understanding, though it is unresolved. When the group arrives in Los Angeles, they are met by the butchers. A vicious fight ensues as the group struggles to make it to the Dollhouse. When Mag is shot in the legs, Paul goes to help her and is shot in the head by a butcher. Echo takes the rest inside and seals themselves in.
There, they meet Alpha, who has taken over the Los Angeles Dollhouse and has turned it into a refuge for dolls once more, taking them all in. Apparently in the ten years since he downloaded Paul Ballard's personality within himself, Alpha has grown and evolved into a calm and peaceful person, who helped Echo develop Safe Haven. He and Echo and Victor embrace, and he displays grief at Paul's sudden death, which Echo won't yet face. Topher begins to work on the tech.
Priya is horrified that she is once more within the Dollhouse and begins to take her anger at Tony out on the imprints. Echo joins her and forces her to understand how important it is that Tony is in love with her, and finally breaks down and grieves for Paul, that her one true love is gone and she is alone once more.
Upstairs, the tech-heads stage an insurrection, led by Romeo, who wants all of the technology within the Dollhouse for himself. They don't want the world to go back to the way it was, because they have adapted themselves to thrive in this new world. Alpha reveals that he can still call on his imprints and helps Echo dispatch them quickly. Tony renounces the tech. Adelle leads Topher to his bedchamber, still decorated with religious symbols and mathematical books. Alpha remarked that he left it that way because it spoke to "the schizophrenic" in him. Topher, back in his comfort zone, quickly decodes what he must do.
Topher uses a video recording of Bennett Halverson that she had used as a Rossum instructional tool before the mass-wipe. In hindsight, Bennett in this video not only gives technical instructions but also inspirational advice when she declares identity as being predominantly defined by our momentary actions. Topher is visibly deeply moved by this thought and manages to lapse out of his guilt-induced shizophrenia. He then tenderly touches the recording of her lips and thanks her for the final stage. Topher reveals that a bomb must be activated manually from a high point, sending the signal into the ionosphere where it will cover the world and restore everyone to their original minds. He will kill himself to avoid hurting anyone else, and leaves Adelle the task of cleanup. He remarks that Adelle's job is harder.
Adelle and Echo say goodbye, and Adelle remarks that it's ironic that the final fantasy the Dollhouse will grant will be Echo's. Echo says that she has no fantasies left, and Adelle hugs her goodbye. Alpha has left, in case he returns to the mind of Carl William Craft, a burgeoning serial killer and Alpha's original human personality. Mag and Zone say goodbye, and Zone promises to take care of Caroline when she turns back into a little girl. Mag reveals that she was a sociology student at Berkeley, and Zone reveals that he was a landscape architect.
Priya introduces T to Tony, and T reveals that he is named Tony after his father. Adelle, the shepherd of the dolls once more, leads the wiped dolls outside, leaving everyone else inside who must stay for a year to be protected from the wipes. Topher travels to Adelle's office at the top of the building and, after turning to look at the wall of pictures labeled "To Remember," detonates the blast, killing himself and releasing the cure into the world.
The wiped humans all get knocked out and wake up with their minds restored. Zone takes a confused little girl under his wing, and Adelle returns to the Dollhouse, knowing that there are still by-products of Rossum left to be hunted down and destroyed, such as the original copies of Harding, Ambrose, and Clyde Randolph. Echo finds a gift from Alpha and loads herself into the chair once more to see what the imprint wedge is. She realizes that Alpha has given her the full imprint of Paul Ballard. Since Echo can control the imprints living within her, she and Paul can converse whenever they want, and she'll literally carry her lover inside of her for the rest of her days.
As Adelle returns to the Dollhouse, Priya, Tony, and T reunite, and the world begins to finally set itself to rights, Echo lies down in her old sleeping pod with a smile on her face and goes to sleep for the last time, dreaming of Paul and a world restored to sanity.

He will kill himself to avoid hurting anyone else, and leaves Adelle the task of cleanup. He remarks that Adelle's job is harder.
Adelle and Echo say goodbye, and Adelle remarks that it's ironic that the final fantasy the Dollhouse will grant will be Echo's. Echo says that she has no fantasies left, and Adelle hugs her goodbye. Alpha has left, in case he returns to the mind of Carl William Craft, a burgeoning serial killer and Alpha's original human personality. Mag and Zone say goodbye, and Zone promises to take care of Caroline when she turns back into a little girl. Mag reveals that she was a sociology student at Berkeley, and Zone reveals that he was a landscape architect.
Priya introduces T to Tony, and T reveals that he is named Tony after his father. Adelle, the shepherd of the dolls once more, leads the wiped dolls outside, leaving everyone else inside who must stay for a year to be protected from the wipes. Topher travels to Adelle's office at the top of the building and, after turning to look at the wall of pictures labeled "To Remember," detonates the blast, killing himself and releasing the cure into the world.
The wiped humans all get knocked out and wake up with their minds restored. Zone takes a confused little girl under his wing, and Adelle returns to the Dollhouse, knowing that there are still by-products of Rossum left to be hunted down and destroyed, such as the original copies of Harding, Ambrose, and Clyde Randolph. Echo finds a gift from Alpha and loads herself into the chair once more to see what the imprint wedge is. She realizes that Alpha has given her the full imprint of Paul Ballard. Since Echo can control the imprints living within her, she and Paul can converse whenever they want, and she'll literally carry her lover inside of her for the rest of her days.
As Adelle returns to the Dollhouse, Priya, Tony, and T reunite, and the world begins to finally set itself to rights, Echo lies down in her old sleeping pod with a smile on her face and goes to sleep for the last time, dreaming of Paul and a world restored to sanity.
