Will Dollhouse fans finally get the hook-up they've been waiting for?

It sounds that way, according to star Tahmoh Penikett.

"I think it's safe to say you're going to see [a kiss] soon," he told E! News of his character, Paul Ballard, and Eliza Dushku's Echo.

Regarding his overall relationship with the Dollhouse, the actor added:

"Paul has to drink the Dollhouse Kool-Aid for a bit—I don't know if he's going to continue doing it though. I think you'll see, over the next couple of episodes, that he's having more and more issues working for the company, but he's kind of stuck in that position right now."
