In Dollhouse season 1 episode 1, entitled "Ghost," we are introduced to Echo, one of the "Actives" who work for the highly secretive and mysterious Dollhouse organization. The Actives are people who have had their memories wiped clean and are then imprinted with new personalities and abilities to perform various tasks and missions for clients.

We see Echo in her latest assignment, as a hostage negotiator for a wealthy businessman named Richard Connell. Echo's partner in this mission is FBI agent Paul Ballard, who is obsessed with finding the Dollhouse and exposing its operations to the world. However, as the negotiation unfolds, it becomes clear that not everything is as it seems and there are hidden agendas at play.

Meanwhile, we are also introduced to the inner workings of the Dollhouse through the eyes of its employees, including the chief programmer, Topher, and the handlers who oversee the Actives during their missions. We learn that the Actives are not volunteers, but rather people who have been signed up for five-year contracts to work for the Dollhouse in exchange for a substantial financial payout upon completion.

As the episode progresses, we see Echo begin to display unusual behavior that suggests she is retaining memories or emotions from her previous engagements. This is of great concern to both the Dollhouse management and Paul, who becomes increasingly convinced that Echo is more than just a blank slate.

The tension builds to a climactic finale, which offers some insight into the larger conspiracy at play within the Dollhouse and its powerful clients. Along the way, we are treated to action-packed set pieces, snappy dialogue, and some intriguing character development for Echo and Paul.

Overall, "Ghost" is a gripping and intriguing introduction to the world of Dollhouse. It sets up a compelling mystery that promises to deliver plenty of thrills and surprises as the series unfolds. Fans of Joss Whedon's other work, such as Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Firefly, are sure to find much to enjoy in this thought-provoking and stylish sci-fi series.
