After a very shaky first season full of ups and many downs, Dollhouse is back and surprisingly, the season premiere hits home, giving the show some much needed promise. The episode is not perfect by any means, but events in Vows clearly set up a few interesting story lines that will circulate through the season. Paul Pallard (Tahmoh Penikett) is now working in the Dollhouse, continuing to have very close interactions with Echo (Eliza Dushku). Topher (Fran Kranz) seems on edge, running on little sleep, mainly because Dr Saunders (Amy Acker) is aware she's a doll and is harassing him with annoying games. These two sets of character interactions drive this episode through the show's emphasis on action as well as the growing moral dilemmas at stake.As the show begins, we see Echo on assignment, and she's getting married to Martin Klar (Battlestar Galactica's Jamie Bamber), a British arms dealer. She's working undercover for Ballard to try and bring down Klar. It's an interesting and positive turn for the show, as it seems Echo will no longer have missions that seem like an absolute waste of time and ability. Echo is still self-aware, and with Ballard's ulterior motives still in the dark, it will be very interesting to see how he progresses these missions.
The other half of the episode focuses on Topher and Dr Saunders. Saunders now knows she is a doll programed by Topher, and she hates him for it. She relentlessly pesters and threatens him, and it's clearly starting to break him. When the two finally have a confrontation, they both break down and explain each other's feelings. This scene really addresses all of the questions regarding moral issues that occur in the show, and it shows that Topher does in fact view the dolls as more than just devices. By the end of the episode, both of the characters clearly have a new take on what they are doing, and both seem to be taking the conversation into account with their actions.
Verdict: Though the show still has work to do to undo much of the first seasons missteps, Vows does an excellent job setting up the season to be the entertaining and mysterious show it was always meant to be. ☆☆☆☆
