	*When Joseph confronts Cerberus about his daughter, he yells out, "You freak!" It is unclear if Joseph is referring to the game that Cerberus plays at the club, or Cerberus' status as a crossdresser. If it is the latter, it would be the first expression of intolerance toward a different sexuality and/or gender-based identity depicted in the re-imagined continuity. Up to this point, Colonial society has been shown to be highly tolerant of such diversity.		*When Joseph confronts Cerberus about his daughter, he yells out, "You freak!"

	*While describing the fire that destroyed the Graystones' family home (and mentally scarred Zoe in the process) years earlier, Daniel notes that the fire was started by running too much heavy computer equipment in a place that was not designed to accommodate it. This can easily be interpreted as foreshadowing the destructive nature of Daniel's own work and the products of [[Graystone Industries]] on an unprepared [[The Twelve Colonies of Kobol\|Colonial]] society. The holoband is seen by some (such as [[Baxter Sarno]]) as having ruined lives, especially those of younger people. In time, the descendants of the U-87 will launch the [[First Cylon War]] and ultimately the [[Fall of the Twelve Colonies\|near-extinction of the human race]].		*While describing the fire that destroyed the Graystones' family home (and mentally scarred Zoe in the process) years earlier, Daniel notes that the fire was started by running too much heavy computer equipment in a place that was not designed to accommodate it.

	*In his [[Caprica City]] apartment, Joseph Adama is lying on the sofa, wearing a [[holoband]] and a computer running on the table next to him. In a tunnel underneath New Cap City, Joseph is dressed in a flashy suit and fedora--better attire for New Cap City than the "businessman special" he was initially scanned in, according to [[Emmanuelle]]. She gives him a drug, [[Amp]], intended to enhance his senses and reflexes. Joseph puts a drop of Amp into his eye and feels an instant surge that registers in his real-life body.		*In his [[Caprica City]] apartment, [[Joseph Adama]] is lying on the sofa, wearing a [[holoband]] and a computer running on the table next to him.

	*Daniel Graystone reactivates the [[U-87]]. He tells the prototype that he is convinced the Zoe avatar is there, in the U-87, but she gives him no indication. Daniel correctly guesses that Zoe is refusing to respond to him. Realizing that she will answer only as the robot, he promises something difficult for her, something that he says will be for the best.		*[[Daniel Graystone]] reactivates the [[U-87]].
