Yeah, that entire scene was brilliantly done. Just seeing her facial expressions and that she's listening and paying attention even if others aren't aware that she's becoming aware, and she's putting two-and-two together. Trusting Topher is very interesting; perhaps it's because of him being there after every wipe and being nice to her. She wouldn't go to someone that is mean like Dominic. And she made that connection that Topher makes people "different" with the chair, and she wants to help, so she wants him to make her different so she could help.
It's a strange kind of thing, and you could see Topher just going "OMG WHUT JUST HAPPENED?" XDDD I'm sure it's unheard of or rare that a Doll would suggest getting imprinted. They are told what to do there, but for Echo to make up her own mind based on her observations -- it's very fascinating. I want to see the outcome of where all this might be heading.
I do believe that Echo will still trust Boyd over her new handler. It appears that Boyd is more compassionate towards her than the other handlers to their Actives; most will treat it like a business, but Boyd seems to treat Echo like a person.
HEE! Paul as John Winchester definitely was great. His obsession with finding the Dollhouse, his erratic and ethusiastic behavior. XD Seeing him losing his ground is possibly a nice touch to his character, though with the new information about Mellie and the Dollhouse will have him gain more perspective on his mission, and even tread more carefully.
Also makes me wonder if he'll follow Mellie around, and if she leaves again he'll find out who she's going to and that could be another lead towards the Dollhouse.
