E! Online has an explanation.

The short answer seem so be that Fox the TV production studio paid for the 13th episode, whereas Fox the Network bought 13 episodes that included the scrapped original pilot, so they are left with 12 episodes to air. Or something like that.

That's what they're saying, but one has to admit, if the ratings for 'Dollhouse' was stellar, FOX would have no trouble airing the episode.

As I understand it, the network gave an order for 13 episodes. Then when joss was finishing the pilot they scrapped that before it was edited together, parts were reused in other episodes. But that meant they were down to 12 and they didn't want to pay up more. But then the DVD division wanted 13 episodes because that was that they were marketing - so an extra episode was made which is not related to the current series, it takes place in the future. The network consider this an extra episode not part of their order and don't want to show it.

So, is this 'extra' ep the one which Felicia Day appears ? She's mentioned it in her online postings, and I'd like to see more of her on the small screen. Those G.E. washer / dryer ads only come on so often.
