Overview
- Sam Adama's attempts to aid anti-government rebels on Tauron create new conflicts on Caprica. Amanda Graystone tries to get closer to the Willow family. Daniel Graystone struggles to create a realistic avatar of his wife. Evelyn and Joseph Adama grow closer.
Summary
- The residents of Caprica City sleep: Daniel Graystone dreams about the death of Tomas Vergis, Sam Adama hears the screams of victims of the Tauron Civil War, and as Amanda Graystone dreams of Clarice Willow, Sister Clarice herself watches over her in a guest room of the Willow house.
- In the morning, the Adama household bustles with activity as Evelyn and Joseph Adama prepare for work. Sam and his husband Larry enter, and Sam immediately turns on the television to CapTV news about the new uprising against Tauron dictator Andreas Phaulkon. Ruth encourages young Willie Adama to pay attention, since his father and uncle Joseph and Sam both endured the same kind of violence from the Tauron regime when they were his age. Larry suddenly shuts off the TV, disgusted that Sam is investing so much time and income on supporting the rebels. A moment later, Evelyn and Ruth are alone in the kitchen, and Ruth encourages Evelyn to spend time with Joseph this evening, even offering to visit a friend so that they can be alone.
- In the kitchen of the Graystone Estate, Daniel talks about his problems recreating his daughter Zoe's avatar program with Amanda. Amanda is unusually sweet and seductive with him. After a moment, Daniel removes his holoband and leaves the virtual world reconstruction of the Estate and the avatar of Amanda, returning to his real--and empty--home.

Act 3
Act 4
Notes
- The very day after this episode first aired, Syfy announced that it would not be renewing the series for a second season. The subsequent five episodes were then pushed back to 2011 airdates. Foreshadowing this, Syfy did not air the preview for the next episode at the conclusion of this episode as normal.
- In the scene where Atreus and his thugs search Sam Adama's hearse, Vancouver's Downtown Community Court can be seen. This is likely a mistake given the criminal activity and proximity to a court.
- Lacy Rand, Zoe-A, and Tamara-A do not appear in this episode.
- Alvo is called Arvo in this episode's subtitles.
Analysis
Questions
- Will Sam send Cylons to the rebels on Tauron, despite the Guatrau's orders? (Answer)
Official Statements
Noteworthy Dialogue
- Baxter Sarno on New Cap City:
- Baxter Sarno: So I tried to play this holoband game New Cap City. I held up a liquor store and I rolled a guy in an alley. If I do it three more times, I'll have enough money to actually buy the game and play it.
- The Guatrau suggests a change to the Grace commercial using Daniel Graystone's avatar:
- Guatrau: Then may I suggest that you re-shoot it. And this time use the actual Dr. Graystone. After all, there's no substitute for the real thing.
- Under orders from Sam Adama, a U-87 finishes its efficient elimination of rival gangsters:
- U-87: Task completed by your command.
- Sam Adama: How are you with tanks?
