Could Paul be a client of the Dollhouse without actually knowing it? Could he have chosen to have his own memories wiped in order to live a complete fantasy? Perhaps he never was a FBI agent to begin with. Perhaps he's chasing a ghost from his past thanks to a new personality that has been imprinted. I know it sounds a bit Total Recall-like but who said that the only fantasy one might have is to hire a doll to use? Isn't becoming someone else a fantasy too? Something in Paul's past might have drive him to want to be turned into a knight who would never give up until the mission is done. He would be a sort of doll himself then, as well as a client. It would explain why Adele never demanded that Ballard should be killed. The client must be satisfied, and as long as Ballard hasn't saved Caroline, the engagement is not finished.
Oooh, I hadn't thought of that "goes off to ponder".
