	* In Admiral Adama's quarters, Lee Adama, Saul Tigh, Galen Tyrol, Felix Gaeta and [[Karl Agathon]] meet. As the admiral takes some kind of medication and rolls his arm in some form of discomfort, Tyrol indicates that the rebel Cylons of the [[Basestar (RDM)\|baseship]] in the [[The Fleet (RDM)\|Fleet]] would rather ally with Adama permanently than risk meeting up with the [[Cavil]]s and their hostile Cylon forces alone.		* In Admiral Adama's quarters, Lee Adama, Saul Tigh, Galen Tyrol, Felix Gaeta and {{callsign\|Karl Agathon}} meet.

	* Adama redirects the discussion to a proposed upgrading of all Colonial [[FTL\|jump drives]] in the Fleet. As Cylon FTL is three times more efficient, such an upgrade would be very useful tactically, with some hard work. Lee Adama reminds the others that the [[Quorum of Twelve (RDM)\|Quorum]] is needed to get the civilian ship's cooperation, especially if the Cylons are needed to do the work on each ship. Tyrol confirms that Cylon involvement will be a requirement.		* Adama redirects the discussion to a proposed upgrading of all Colonial [[FTL\|jump drives]] in the Fleet.

	* Lee considers the argument that upgrading before the Fleet's food and fuel run out before they find a new home should be a good argument. But Tyrol ups the ante with a price: that the Cylons become valid citizens of the Fleet, with their own representative on the Quorum and Adama's oath of protection. Gaeta objects strongly, but the admiral indicates he is weighing all options as he dismisses the group, realizing that President Roslin needs to weigh it as well.		* Lee considers the argument that upgrading before the Fleet's food and fuel run out before they find a new home should be a good argument.

	* The amnesty offered to the Final Four Cylons, along with presumably Admiral Adama's consent, has resulted in them being allowed to remain aboard ''Galactica'' and presumably (given Tigh is still the XO) to keep their posts. It remains unclear in this episode how well the rest of the Fleet accepts this or to what extent it is understood that the Final Four are different from the other seven and are not sleeper agents, but it is a sign of how far the two races have come that there can be such intermingling. This would have been unthinkable in the first two seasons. Nevertheless later episodes do show that dissent and hostility are brewing over the rushed blanket amnesty and the fact that the revealed Cylons remain free and serving {{TRS\|The Oath}}.		* The amnesty offered to the Final Four Cylons, along with presumably Admiral Adama's consent, has resulted in them being allowed to remain aboard ''Galactica'' and presumably (given Tigh is still the XO) to keep their posts.

	* Galen Tyrol refers to the [[Number Eight\|Eights]] and [[Number Two\|Twos]] as "Sharons" and "Leobens", but the [[Number Six\|Sixes]] as "Sixes". His former relationship with [[Sharon Valerii]] and service alongside ~~[[Sharon Agathon]]~~ explain his inclination to refer to the Eights with a human name, but his choice to address the [[Number Two\|Twos]] in equally familiar terms is difficult to explain from an in-universe perspective. In fact, the Number Two model designation was only established in "[[Six of One]]".

He stumbles with the plural pronouns, 'we', 'you', and 'they' when speaking of humans and Cylons. Out of habit, he initially refers to the rebel Cylons in the third person before correcting himself to use the first person, and likewise speaks of the colonists in the first person with an immediate amendment to the second person.		* Galen Tyrol is struggling with his group identity during the conference with Councilman Adama, Admiral Adama, Colonel Tigh and Lieutenant Gaeta.

	* Ron Moore, who took the reins of directorship for the first time in his own series, made it a point to note several serious character views in this episode. The most significant may not be Laura Roslin's near-abdication of the presidency, but the physical malaise that seems to plague Bill Adama. The malaise isn't only within him but in [[Gaius Baltar]], who has made his followers challenge what seems to be a dispassionate and uncaring [[God (RDM)\|God]], and in [[Felix Gaeta]], whose bitterness threatens to lead him into betraying his own people. The last scene, standing on his mechanical leg with Tom Zarek, appears to be an allusion to Gaeta's loss of humanity, as he slowly becomes more like the Cylons he now despises.		* Ron Moore, who took the reins of directorship for the first time in his own series, made it a point to note several serious character views in this episode.

	* As Saul Tigh and the admiral make their way to CIC, Tigh tells that the news of the Cylon FTL upgrade is not being taken well at all throughout the Fleet. Several of the civilian ships are refusing to accept the Cylon jump drive upgrade. Others won't even communicate with ''Galactica''. Gaeta points out that the crews of those ships are merely exercising their right to deny Cylons access. Adama tells him that jump drive upgrades is a military matter outside the civilian government's jurisdiction. Totally ignoring military subordination, Gaeta questions Adama's right to make the ships comply with the upgrade.		* As Saul Tigh and the admiral make their way to CIC, Tigh tells that the news of the Cylon FTL upgrade is not being taken well at all throughout the Fleet.

	* Their argument is interrupted with news that the Fleet's [[tylium]] [[refinery ship]], the ''Hitei Kan'' has mutinied. Its crew has killed a Cylon and two marine guards.

	* Picking up more trash, the admiral continues down a corridor and past the officer's [[rec room]] as Gaeta sits down next to [[Kara Thrace]], who isn't in the mood to talk.

	* Gaeta and Thrace exchange unpleasant words about Anders and his actual behavior on {{RDM\|Caprica}}, and he insinuates that she could be a [[The Destiny\|Cylon herself]].

	* Gaeta threatens that there will come a "reckoning", but Thrace isn't fazed, warning that she won't hesitate to strike him (or anyone else in her way), despite his disability, as she leaves the room.

	* On ''Colonial One'', Vice President Zarek argues to the Quorum that Cylon collaboration with the Fleet requires explicit government permission and the consent of the people.

	* Ron Moore, who took the reins of directorship for the first time in his own series, made it a point to note several serious character views in this episode. The most significant may not be Laura Roslin's near-abdication of the presidency, but the physical malaise that seems to plague Bill Adama. The malaise isn't only within him but in [[Gaius Baltar]], who has made his followers challenge what seems to be a dispassionate and uncaring [[God (RDM)\|God]], and in [[Felix Gaeta]], whose bitterness threatens to lead him into betraying his own people. The last scene, standing on his mechanical leg with Tom Zarek, appears to be an allusion to Gaeta's loss of humanity, as he slowly becomes more like the Cylons he now despises.		* Ron Moore, who took the reins of directorship for the first time in his own series, made it a point to note several serious character views in this episode.

	* Fans of the Roslin/Adama relationship were likely well satisfied with the scene at the episode's conclusion. In the past, their lives as leaders of the Fleet made them hesitate to become closer, although in a couple of instances, they "let their hair down" a little ("[[Resurrection Ship]]", "[[Unfinished Business]]", "[[The Hub]]"). Now, at Roslin's insistence that she and Adama try to be just ordinary people, if only briefly, the plights of the Fleet were put aside for a time. However, it stands to reason that their romance, if anything in the Pythian prophecy is true, may not last.		* Fans of the Roslin/Adama relationship were likely well satisfied with the scene at the episode's conclusion.

	* The amnesty offered to the Final Four Cylons, along with presumably Admiral Adama's consent, has resulted in them being allowed to remain aboard ''Galactica'' and presumably (given Tigh is still the XO) to keep their posts. It remains unclear in this episode how well the rest of the Fleet accepts this or to what extent it is understood that the Final Four are different from the other seven and are not sleeper agents, but it is a sign of how far the two races have come that there can be such intermingling. This would have been unthinkable in the first two seasons. Nevertheless later episodes do show that dissent and hostility are brewing over the rushed blanket amnesty and the fact that the revealed Cylons remain free and serving {{TRS\|The Oath}}.		* The amnesty offered to the Final Four Cylons, along with presumably Admiral Adama's consent, has resulted in them being allowed to remain aboard ''Galactica'' and presumably (given Tigh is still the XO) to keep their posts.

In fact, the Number Two model designation was only established in "[[Six of One]]".

He stumbles with the plural pronouns, 'we', 'you', and 'they' when speaking of humans and Cylons. Out of habit, he initially refers to the rebel Cylons in the third person before correcting himself to use the first person, and likewise speaks of the colonists in the first person with an immediate amendment to the second person.		* Galen Tyrol is struggling with his group identity during the conference with Councilman Adama, Admiral Adama, Colonel Tigh and Lieutenant Gaeta.
