Fresh off the news that “Dollhouse” will be MIA during November sweeps, the show returns this week with a Sierra-centric episode that is arguably the best hour the series has produced so far. What can you expect from the last new ep until December?
First of all, Dichen Lachman’s performance as both Sierra and Priya — the woman she was before she became a doll — will blow you away.
Turns out Priya’s initiation to the dollhouse wasn’t as kosher as everyone (including Adelle) thought, and that discovery sets off a chain reaction which Sierra/Priya, Topher, Boyd, and Adelle will likely wish they hadn’t started.
The episode is definitely one of the darkest “Dollhouse” has done to date, as many of the characters are dealing with serious moral and ethical conflicts, but it’s also one of the most satisfying. Besides Dichen’s noteworthy performance, Fran Kranz, Harry Lennix and Olivia Williams all get the chance to shine… albeit in a much creepier fashion.
And in addition to all of the heart-wrenching, twisted Joss-y things fans have come to expect, the Victor/Sierra romance is highlighted this week. Their relationship continues to be one of the sweetest aspects of the series, something Dichen and Enver Gjokaj (Victor) talk about in the clip below.
Clearly the chemistry isn’t confined to just the show…
