Consequences. This is why people need to disappear into the Dollhouse.
This is true. It makes sense why she ended up back in the Dollhouse, and my objection isn't a very strong one. Still, I would have liked to have seen her explicitly choose this course. She two awful paths before her: she could have lived with the memory of this dreadful experience (and probably deep in hiding lest the Dollhouse track her down), or she could let her mind be violated yet again, knowing that her body would be used by who knows what sort of creeps. It's not a no-brainer decision either way. Topher and to a certain degree Boyd too are enough part of the Dollhouse culture that they would view the memory wipe as the automatic solution. We do see that Priya asked not to remember that day if she ever returned to herself, but I would have been happier if we saw Priya making the initial choice so we knew she wasn't pressured into it. There are enough hints that I can believe this is what happened, but I wanted it on screen. *shrug* I may be too picky, but poor Sierra gets whumped and victimized so much that I want to see as much agency as possible from her.
