I believe in the theory too. It definitely makes sense.

We didn't see him and Echo so that we could get the "big reveal" that he was on active. Unfortunately it wasn't much of a surprise to anyone who had read any of the pre-show hype about the characters.

As far as Dewitt and her boss, my guess is she is like the executive officer or manger and the boss is like president or chairman of the board of directors. She takes care of the day to day workings of the Dollhouse, following the directives of her boss(es). If you watched Angel, Dewitt is like Lilah or Lindsey and the boss is like one of the "senior partners" .

I've been thinking about the "memory wipes". I don't think that the memories are removed but that access to the memories are, sort of like amnesia. Maybe when a seemingly new experience is stored it is put into a place and the link established. But if there is a similar something already stored there, that previously stored memory is now accessible too. Anyway however it works, if the neurological pathways start to grow back then the active would start to remember. When they were first discussing Alpha's escape and killing spree they were quite surprised that he remembered his surgical skills from a former imprint.

If my theory is true, then the actives have quite a bit of stuff stored in their heads - their personality and experiences before they became actives, the imprints of personalities and experiences of people to give them skills, the experiences they have while in an engagement using those skills, and their time in the Dollhouse. If an active were to remember all those things they would probably go crazy trying to figure out who they were.
I really like this theory. I definitely think that the show is headed in that direction.
Another possibility would be that in the future, if Echo (and potentially the other actives) remember what's been put into their head for their engagements, instead of going insane because of all the different personalities, it could be a benefit for them. It would be like a library inside their heads of different resources they could use to fight Dollhouse. This could definitely be an alley Joss chooses to explore in future seasons.

That would be something I'd like to see them explore - I don't think it's a type of insanity they reach if and when the past experiences become available to them; it appears that some actives aren't told the full truth about the Dollhouse - so maybe Alpha is out for revenge, rather than insane, because he's rebelling against the establishment that doesn't appear to be completely truthful. There's got to be a reason for Boyd to constantly refer to the actives maybe not knowing what they signed up for - or even if they're all willing participants.

I'm more and more interested every week now in the reason Caroline was placed within the Dollhouse - what exactly she did to feel like the only way to turn was to them.

Me too. It seemed like she did something to get her in trouble, and this was her only way out, so I'm hoping that they tell us what exactly happened. I'm also wondering if she even knew exactly what she was signing up for.
