"Epitaph Two: Return" is the 13th episode of the second season, the show's 26th episode overall and the series finale of the American science fiction television series Dollhouse. The episode was written by Maurissa Tancharoen, Jed Whedon, Andrew Chambliss, and directed by David Solomon. It aired in the United States on Fox on January 29, 2010.
The episode was scheduled to air on January 22, 2010, but was subsequently delayed a week due to a joint telethon with ABC, CBS, NBC, and The CW, for Haiti.[1]
"Epitaph Two: Return" did not use a title sequence. Instead it uses footage from "Epitaph One" to set the story, followed by the intertitle. However the intertitle does not possess the pods in the background as it has during the series, instead electing for just a plain black background.
This episode is set in 2020. After travelling from Los Angeles, Zone, Mag and Caroline have reached Safe Haven. Topher, who has been rescued after being forced to work for Rossum, is close to finishing a plan that will restore the world population's original personas. However, everyone must return to the Dollhouse to complete this plan.
This episode is successor to "Epitaph One", which was un-aired in the United States.
