I already talked about this in Discord spoilers but Mr. Dominic is such a well-written & acted character. Before the reveal today his motivations were already clear. From his perspective Echo is dangerous. She's an Active that doesn't act the same as any of the others except for Alpha, an Active that went insane, on a rampage & is still on the loose. He doesn't want to stop Echo out of malice or just because he's a "bad guy". There's a purpose behind his actions. With this episode we learn there's even more to it. Mr. Dominic was sent to the Dollhouse to keep things from spiraling out of control. The NSA knows how dangerous the tech that Rossum has & they want to keep the lid on Pandora's box. DeWitt sees the other side of the coin & thinks of it as a hostile takeover. At least that's what happens in the moment of the scene, we know that she does have some misgivings though as well. Mr. Dominic is at least partly right when he calls her naive & she's partly right that the NSA isn't operating entirely from a place of altruism. During the conversation in the van Mr. Dominic conveys some measure of maybe not respect but appreciation for Echo. He thought he was justified in trying to get rid of a "broken doll". Knowing that he's lost the game he relishes that they ignored his warnings about Echo & he thinks it will lead them to their downfall. This show has been red hot since episode six. They laid a lot of groundwork though in the proceeding five episodes. Maybe we could've gotten to the fireworks factory a little sooner but overall I'm happy with the journey.

I'd forgotten the exact way Mellie was revealed as November. Just an absolute gut punch for Paul. When she comes in he seems to be already teetering on the edge only for him to find out that he's in even deeper than he thought.
