I am curious what kind of engineering job he has that allows him to afford the mansion and price tag for Echo tho.

The father baffled me. He was really gonna give the kid up for adoption? Yeah, cuz I'm sure that would have gone over well with friends and family and (presumably) whatever business contacts he has that makes him uber rich. And really, Adele was right WHY NOT just hire a nanny to keep the baby out of sight and out of mind? Hiring Echo seems odd and creepy especially when (presumably) given some of his wife's memories. (Assuming from her mentioning the honeymoon) Speaking of which... how is he explaining Echo's presence to said friends and family of either himself or his deceased wife? Surely if her family were around they'd be even more interested in this baby due to her death? There's so much "huh?" to this engagement like most of the non-prostitution jobs. I feel like they do these engagements to prove "Hey! Look! There's other things to hire a doll for then a really customizable prostitute!" When in actuality that's all a doll would probably be used for by the clients at least.

What was Sierra's role? This seemed lik a pretty low level assignment, why assign a second doll unless Dichen Lachman is contractually obligated to appear in a certain number of episodes?
I disagree with you on the Nate thing. He seemed genuinely uncomfortable around Echo and I thought it was fairly obvious that he had hired her as a stand in for a missing wife.
No way we get a third season at this rate.

i think sierra was supposed to be an anchor for echo's personality. but i rolled my eyes during the scene in the park when they were talking to one another. it felt like a worthless waste of time since neither people were 'real' and we could get the insecure housewife crazy without it.
nate seemed creeped out by the situation more than anything. i think he did it to try to nurture the child he couldn't but then realized just how off putting the whole thing was.
and yeah they need to accelerate top the end game, the epitaph portion of the proposed arc already. we get the creepy implications of the technology now bring it to a head.

It just made no sense even if everything had worked out as planned. This show is going down hill fast.

So if something is off, it's because the crew needs to adjust in the new realities and tools.

I thought all the thunder and lightning stuff at the end was a really bad choice. It pushed a dramatic situation over the edge into melodrama, it was hard to take seriously.
