More on the Dollhouse debacle

Entertainment Weekly has more details about the "Dollhouse" episode Fox has elected not to air this season.

Fox bought and paid for 13 hours of Dollhouse (from sister company 20th Century Fox), one of which turned out to be the scrapped pilot that Whedon wound up reshooting. Which means Day's episode, "Epitaph One," is the 14th -- which the network didn't buy. And isn't going to buy. "We currently do not have plans to air 'Epitaph One,'" says a Fox source, who added that this decision does not reflect the network's feelings about the show or whether Dollhouse will be renewed. An official announcement about Dollhouse's possible return for next season will be made at the network's upfronts in May.

Confusing. So, even though this ep is somehow extra, the fact that the network is choosing not to air it is:

A. Because they have no faith in the show and intend to cancel it.
B. To force fans to buy the "Dollhouse" DVD set.
C. Both of the above.
