    Dollhouse S1E7, in this episode, bunch of dolls go into a campus. There is a drug problem happens in the campus. Dolls make up in different roles, such as CIA, doctors, security people. It is a little weird when I watch the drama. In the dollhouse, dolls see each other, but now they do not know each other anymore. Technology can change their memories, but it cannot change dolls’ feelings. When they work in campus, Victor always pays his attention on Sierra. I think that is a good example to proof the common saying: It is easy to control one person’s action, but it’s hard to control his heart.

    Same thing happens on Echo. In this episode, she follows her old memories, and went to the college. Those memories are separated in pieces, but she can clearly remember her boyfriend in her memories. All her reflections in the campus shows that she wants to save her boyfriend. She doesn’t know what happen, but she knows that her boyfriend is (was) in dangerous. She even rejects Langton’s suggestion: “Would you like to have a treatment.” Echo’s feeling about her boyfriend is stronger than those technologies in her brain. At the end of the campus drug accident, Echo tries to save the college student because she thinks he is her boyfriend. All those memories lead Echo back to the campus are about her boyfriend. Echo has been changed into millions of roles in dollhouse, but those memories cannot hurt Echo’s really feeling. People can remember other people in different ways, not just in their memories. Blind people can remember other people by their touching and smelling. Sometime people just have a familiar feeling on other peoples. Science sometime is not strong enough to explain those things happen in people’s brains.
