Fox cuts final episode of 'Dollhouse'

Fox has scrapped the final episode of Dollhouse, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

The network has scheduled the season finale 'Omega' - the twelfth episode - for May 8 but has cut the planned final episode, 'Epitaph One'.

Producer Tim Minear said via Whedonesque that the missing episode will definitely be on the Dollhouse DVD.

"Because we scrapped the original pilot, we really ended up with 12 episodes," said Minear. "But the studio makes DVD and other deals based on the original 13 number, so we created a standalone kind of coda episode which is the mythical new episode 13.

"The network had already paid for 13 episodes, and this included the one they agreed to let us scrap for parts. We always knew it would be for the DVD for sure, but we also think Fox should air it because it's awesome."
