Adelle Dewitt enters the kitchen and is startled to see the doll Victor standing at the counter enjoying a gourmet crab leg dish. She turns to Topher to mention that Mr. Ambrose, Executive Vice Chairman of Rossum Corporation, should be notified, but then realizes that Mr. Ambrose has taken over the body of Victor. Now even more confused than before, Adelle asks, “What’s going on?” Mr. Ambrose explains that he was sent to the Dollhouse on a hard drive to showcase the new service that they will be providing. A full body or complete anatomy upgrade for some 9-digit sum of money will now be available to certain top priority clients. Adelle who is shocked claims that he can’t do this and that is wrong. Mr. Ambrose says with a smirk on his face, “ I think you’ll find in the coming months that we can do whatever we want.” He takes another bite and Adelle turns to Topher as if he can somehow change the situation. She asks about the laws and he reminds her that their organization has always been above the laws. “Everybody who matters is either a client or one of ours,” he says. She explains that she was referring to the laws of humanity and angrily tells him, “I will not sell these people off at any price.” Adelle is left with the choice to be a part of the new complete body transfer or chose to fight for the doll’s bodies and do what she feels is humane.
