We made the Gun out of our spite, and Line out of our fear, and this poor thing out of our sorrow.
The House Dolorous or Dollhouse has a spirit protecting it but I find it interesting that this spirit has limits and that it doesn't truly heal. Liv gets addicted to the healing powers of the spirit and basically everyone there stays because of these healing powers. It seems like the spirit is more of a drug for the people there. But the spirit can no doubt protect the people there which is shown when it takes out the Line's flying machine. I honestly don't know if the spirit is overall strong or weak. It obviously can protect but it doesn't heal so its power isn't everlasting.
Finding out Liv's past regarding her mother's death, I feel very bad for her but also find it interesting that she takes on her mother's profession. She doesn't seem afraid that the same thing might happen to her but that may be what the nerve tonic is for. Maybe that field of study is all she really knows or she's trying to carry on her mother's legacy.
I also agree that the spirit seems more like a drug then an actual solution to the problem. Not only is it's healing powers only temporary but it can be sated as Creedmoor proved. It reminds me more of a leach then an actual "healing" being.
