I think that is a wise idea. 
I don’t know. I could see it coming as soon as Alpha directed Ballard to the pods. Well, at least that he had more interest in Caroline than he had let on. I think it might be possible that he ran an imprint on her between seeing her and getting her out of the chair. He certainly did something… but we’ll find out.
Alan Tudyk did a fantastic job balancing the genuine comedy of the programmer with the intense psychotic behavior.
This ep left me wondering more than usual what happens to a doll if s/he leaves the dollhouse without an imprint like Alpha did. Can you recover parts of who you were? Can you develop in a completely new direction? Can you even grow back into being a full individual person without the things that Topher wipes away?
We kinda talked about this in one of the Saturday After Frak parties in Talkshoe.

I can’t remember if it was the 4/18 or 425 episode, but we spend some time discussing it but not reaching a conclusion.
