Dollhouse Question

Question for the Dollhouse Fans-



After Paul goes brain dead, Topher revives him by imprinting himself back on to himself, giving him the Active architecture and essentially making him a Doll with his own personality. Does Paul have a handler here?

Also, once the Dolls are released from their five year contract, and their personalities are restored. However, they still have the active architecture. If their handler came up to them and said, "Madeline, would you like a treatment?", would the former doll still be vulnerable?

Thanks!

I don't think Paul had a handler, either. They're just there to get the dolls who don't know they're dolls to their treatments. Paul knew he was a doll. And he didn't need a treatment, 'cause he was going to stay on the 'Paul Ballard'-imprint anyway.

"would you like a treatment" stuff didn't work with any random stranger

Indeed. Plus, the other Dollhouse (in season 2) uses different phrases (like for senator Perrin).

I guess it depends on what the higher ups ordered the programmer to do. I could just see those in charge leaving their former actives vulnerable on purpose.

I agree completely. All depends on the programming.
