Whedon teases missing 'Dollhouse' episode

Joss Whedon has revealed that he understands Fox's decision to scrap the final episode of Dollhouse, describing it as "very different" to the rest of the series.

Episode 13, titled 'Epitaph One', was originally scheduled to air after the May 8 'Omega', but was later relegated to the season one DVD.

Speaking to Entertainment Weekly, the show creator teased fans over the nature of the elusive episode.

"So you will find out snippets of everything and all of nothing," he said. "Every flashback answers something about where people are heading but brings up a lot more questions about where they end up or how they got there.

"It has a very different structure and feel from what we do on Dollhouse, so it would have been ridiculously startling to have aired it the week after the season finale as just this insane coda."

He added: "And it is a little bit insane, except that we sort of follow everything through to its logical conclusion. As always, it's logical to conclude that people are terrible and will try to destroy each other."

The episode is rumoured to be set in the future and will apparently see Eliza Dushku's character Caroline entering an abandoned Dollhouse after having previously escaped for some time. Meanwhile, Whiskey (Amy Acker) is said to be found in the LA Dollhouse, having been left behind in a wiped state.
