The Dollhouse saga continues tonight on Fox! Echo (Elizah Dushku) and Sierra (Dichen Lachman) will help protect a pop singer tonight in the third episode of the season. Plus, from the looks of it, Agent Paul Ballard (Tahmoh Penikett) will have a slightly bigger role in tonight’s episode. That has to excite plenty of fans — and is tonight the night Echo and Agent Ballard fight?

We will have a live chat starting at 9 p.m. EST, and that chat will last throughout the night, so make sure you head here first to chat with other Dollhouse fans.

CraveOnline.com sat down with “Dollhouse” creator Joss Whedon, and thankfully for us, they asked more than just surface questions. We all know now that Joss created the show after a luncheon with Eliza Dushku. Now find out how Joss creates these sprawling TV shows. The man doesn’t create a character or two. He creates an entire world; or more accurately given “Firefly,” he creates entire universes.

As “Dollhouse” fans prepare to say hello to one Whedonite alum, is another Joss Whedon veteran bowing out early? Unless Amy Acker plans on juggling two series, that could be exactly what she is doing. Zap2It.com reports that Acker has accepted a role in a new ABC pilot.

“Dollhouse” fans, the mystery is solved. We can now definitively tell you that Alan Tudyk is the mysterious rogue doll Alpha (or Alfa based on the correct NATO spelling) in Joss Whedon’s latest gem of a TV show. We first brought you this story Feb. 15 when we continued our series exploring who the mysterious actor playing Alpha might be. We brought you two names — Alan Tudyk and Michael Muhney. It turns out we didn’t have to explore much more than that because the second post nailed it.

In the third episode of “Dollhouse,” Echo (Eliza Dushku) goes undercover as a backup singer to protect volatile pop star Rayna from an obsessed fan. Fellow Active, Sierra (Dichen Lachman), also goes undercover as a fan who wins a contest and gets to spend an evening with Rayna. Meanwhile, Agent Paul Ballard (Tahmoh Penikett) is led down a dangerously wrong path in his investigation, and Lubov (Enver Gjokaj) harbors a secret.

The second episode of Dollhouse was a twist-a-minute thrill ride from start to finish, one that reveals enough about the characters to keep you interested, but not too much to overload the brain. At the end, you’re still left wishing for more as the credits roll — just the way I like it.

In the second episode of “Dollhouse,” called “The Target,” Echo is imprinted to be the female counterpart to an avid outdoorsman and quickly learns how the hunter becomes the hunted during her wilderness adventure. Agent Ballard also receives a clue to Echo’s real identity. Airs Friday, Feb. 20 at 9 p.m. Full picture gallery inside…

The newest episode of Joss Whedon’s “Dollhouse” airs Friday night on Fox at 9 p.m. EST. It will be available on iTunes, Hulu.com and Fox.com/Dollhouse the following day. The episode is called “The Target.”

Joss Whedon is back! Those simple four words were enough to keep thousands of fans across the country home on a ghoulish February Friday, but Dollhouse executives hope more than just Whedonites will continue to tune in.

Watch the opening credits from Joss Whedon’s amazing new show Dollhouse. Then, if you think that’s cool, head over to our Feature section where we have the complete theme song by Jonatha Brooke called “What You Don’t Know!” Not only that, we have the lyrics written out for you.
