The episode was written by Michele Fazekas, Tara Butters, and Tracy Bellomo, and directed by Terrence O'Hara.
Inside the Dollhouse, Anthony and Priya go to the security office to retrieve surveillance footage, but all the hard drives have been taken.
Topher 2.0 reveals he installed his own camera in the office and plays back the footage, exposing that Boyd had injected Echo as she was being imprinted.
Topher 2.0 says he will sacrifice himself and give Anthony back his body and additional abilities, including combat and computer skills.
Echo jumps in and beats Boyd to the floor, but is stopped by Clyde 2.0 who threatens to kill DeWitt.
He explains that the technology cannot be un-invented, and that Echo is their saviour because of her spinal fluid, which can be farmed and used to make people immune to imprinting.
Anthony and Priya arrive and free Echo, who orders them to rescue DeWitt and Topher while she finishes shutting down the Rossum labs.
Echo straps Boyd with explosives and hands him a grenade, ordering him to walk into the mainframe and pull the pin when she leaves the room.
Jevon Phillips from Los Angeles Times said "viewers were probably a bit more on edge knowing that Boyd Langton was the puppet master and having to watch him guide the team around.
She did praise the performances of Lennix and Acker in their roles as Boyd and Clyde respectively, citing "Lennix is menacing and weirdly sweet as Boyd shows his emotions even while threatening his erstwhile friends, and Acker plays the self-confident Clyde with relish in a bit of plotting that makes great use of the actress."
