A wipe is the technological erasure of memory. The Dollhouse performs wipes on each Active after each assignment, thereby also deleting the imprint of that assignment. The wipes are responsible for the child-like nature with no memory of their past in which the Actives spend their days at the Dollhouse in between their assignments.
Topher Brink is the programmer responsible for wipes and imprints.
The wipe is shown as a "rewind of scenes from the episode".[1]
In "True Believer", Adelle DeWitt orders Topher to "scrub" Victor because he develops sexual feelings for Sierra. In "Man on the Street", when Sierra is revealed to have been raped four times by Joe Hearn, Topher does his best to scrub the memories, to no avail ("Echoes"). Scrubs prove to be ineffective against the glitches experienced by Victor, Sierra, Echo and November.
When Echo exceeds the capability of a Doll in their tabula rasa state and saves the Dollhouse in "A Spy in the House of Love", DeWitt instructs Topher to not scrub her, so they can see her full potential.
