	*Roslin explains to Adama that Baltar's lawyer had smuggled out the book, called ''[[My Triumphs, My Mistakes]]'', which has been copied about the Fleet.

	* This episode, as well as "[[The Woman King]]" display an ongoing theme since Season 2 that focuses on how human beings are self-destructive by nature without any Cylon intervention. As stated in "[[A Day In The Life]]", the Fleet hasn't encountered any Cylon forces for approximately two months. This state of complacency has allowed the typical in-fighting amongst the Colonials to resume, especially with the depreciating state of quality of life amongst the ships in the Fleet.		* This episode, as well as "[[The Woman King]]" display an ongoing theme since Season 2 that focuses on how human beings are self-destructive by nature without any Cylon intervention.

	* This episode is the first to flesh out further previous hints at a caste system amongst the original twelve colonies, much the same as first world and third world countries today, or splits between the western and eastern world. Gemenon, Sagittaron and Aerilon are noted as being 'poor' colonies, Caprica, Virgon and Tauron are noted as being richer colonies.		* This episode is the first to flesh out further previous hints at a caste system amongst the original twelve colonies, much the same as first world and third world countries today, or splits between the western and eastern world.

	* Although he was born on Aerilon, Baltar has been elected as Caprica's representative to the [[Quorum of Twelve (TRS)\|Quorum of Twelve]] {{TRS\|Colonial Day}}. Apparently, either he is a naturalized citizen of Caprica and it is legal for a naturalized citizen to be elected as Caprica's quorum representative, or he is so widely believed to be Caprican that he was elected by mistake.		* Although he was born on Aerilon, Baltar has been elected as Caprica's representative to the [[Quorum of Twelve (TRS)\|Quorum of Twelve]] {{TRS\|Colonial Day}}.

	*Tyrol reminds [[Anthony Figurski\|Figurski]], [[Joanne Pollux\|Pollux]] and [[Sanchez]] not to leave as they have to work on additional engine refits. A number of deckhands, one literally missing a hand and using a prosthetic arm, are busy with their work. Complaints about fatigue are deflected by Tyrol.		*Tyrol reminds [[Anthony Figurski\|Figurski]], [[Joanne Pollux\|Pollux]] and [[Sanchez]] not to leave as they have to work on additional engine refits.

	*[[Diana Seelix\|Seelix]] is returning bags of cleaned laundry to Figurski, Pollux, and [[Redford]]. She's not too happy as, despite high marks on the written exam for [[Viper (RDM)\|Viper pilot]] flight training, Seelix has been denied promotion because she was considered to have mission-essential duties and could not be transferred. Pollux is left surprised, believing that others don't want the "knuckledraggers" to rise in rank.		*[[Diana Seelix\|Seelix]] is returning bags of cleaned laundry to Figurski, Pollux, and [[Redford]].

	*Tyrol, who heard about the failed promotion from the [[CAG]], apologizes to Seelix. Figurski teases too much about Seelix's fate and her unglamorous laundry work, which causes Seelix to attack Figurski before Chief Tyrol breaks it up. Seelix goes back to laundry delivery, obviously depressed in spite of Tyrol's attempt to have her look at her work on the [[hangar deck]] as critical to the Fleet's safety.		*Tyrol, who heard about the failed promotion from the [[CAG]], apologizes to Seelix.
