When an important client of the Dollhouse, who is also a significant shareholder in the Rossum Corporation, asks for help with a relative who has been struck by a car and lies in a coma, Adelle freely volunteers the services of the Dollhouse's technical people to attempt to revive him.

Upon deeper examination, though, it appears that the client's relative is actually a serial killer, and has several victims imprisoned somewhere. In an effort to locate the victims, Victor is imprinted with the serial killer's brain. Things go astray, however, when Victor manages to get free, still believing he's the killer.

Meanwhile, Caroline is assigned to become a ditzy female student for a Medaeval Literature professor with a fantasy of being seduced by one of his students.
