[This rumor](http://io9.com/5208423/thats-it-youre-all-going-to-the-attic) says that Fox pulled the last episode of Dollhouse. Anyone hear this elsewhere?

Last Wednesday, a Fox press release touted shows scheduled for the upcoming sweeps. Reviewing the schedule, it was noted that the 12th episode of _Dollhouse_ will be shown as season finale. But 13 episodes had been shot. (Actually, 14. But one is the original pilot, not shown on TV & “cannibalized” for episodes we’ve seen. It will be a DVD extra.)

This really set the cat among the canaries; Twitter-ers Twittered & Bloggers Blogged. Check out Whedonesque & TwoP for more info. E! Online explained it more clearly. (Note: There are spoilers [at the link.](http://www.eonline.com/uberblog/watch_with_kristin/b117929_dollhouse_heres_deal_on_season_finale.html))

> The 14th episode, “Epitaph One,” was produced and paid for by Fox the television studio. It was never ordered, requested or paid for by Fox the television network, and Fox the television network will not be airing “Epitaph One.” Working on getting you more details about “Epitaph One,” but it’s said to be more of a “stand-alone” episode.

It’s said that Fox will announce its decision about _Dollhouse_’s future in late May. Ratings have been less than stellar. Damn shame; the last few episodes have been really excellent. (Rumor says that Fox insisted the first episodes be “stand-alone”–we’re just now getting to the really good stuff.)

The Dollhouse is real. And some inmates _do_ complete their contracts. Wiped of their initial personalities & all the skills they learned as Actives, they are delivered to Fox. Where they get jobs in PR.
