*Outside, Adama orders Dr. [[Cottle]] (who is aware that the "Earth key" cause that [[Battlestar Galactica 5|Adama created]] is just a distraction to keep the terrorists at bay) to insert special explosive detonators in the necks of Lesa and every Returner that cooperates.

*A serious continuity gaffe in this issue: When Caprica-Valerii warns Adama of incoming Cylons after her near-death experience, she specifically mentions a [[Resurrection Ship]]. In the canonical [[Re-imagined Series]], the Fleet does not know of the existence of these vessels until shortly after ''[[Pegasus (RDM)|Pegasus]]'' joins the Fleet (which is outside the timeline of this comic series). | *A serious continuity gaffe in this issue: When Caprica-Valerii warns Adama of incoming Cylons after her near-death experience, she specifically mentions a [[Resurrection Ship]].
