* In this episode, [[Clarice Willow|Sister Clarice]] confirms that her faction of the [[Soldiers of the One|STO]] intended to use [[Zoe-A|Zoe's avatar]] as a means for achieving immortality, which she terms "[[apotheosis]]." This is a curious parallel to both [[Daniel Graystone]] and [[Joseph Adama]]'s own intents with the technology, as well as to the [[resurrection (RDM)|resurrection]] capabilities of the [[humanoid Cylon]]s. It is likely that this latter parallel is intentional and possibly connected, although it is also known from "[[No Exit]]" that the [[Final Five]] are responsible for (re)creating resurrection technology. Additionally, "[[Guess What's Coming to Dinner?]]" makes it clear that the [[Significant Seven]] do not know how the technology works. The difference is that the process of Cylon resurrection does not create a digital clone of a person's personality, but rather downloads the same personality back into a humanoid Cylon body. The duplication part of "apotheosis" parallels the existence of multiple copies of the Cylon models. | * In this episode, [[Clarice Willow|Sister Clarice]] confirms that her faction of the [[Soldiers of the One|STO]] intended to use [[Zoe-A|Zoe's avatar]] as a means for achieving immortality, which she terms "[[apotheosis]]."

* Although [[Lacy Rand]]'s meeting with [[Barnabas Greeley|Barnabas]] appeared to be fruitless, it was not necessarily so. Barnabas revealed in the following conversation with [[Keon Gatwick|Keon]] that he is willing to work with Lacy, so long as he knows what she's up to. | * Although [[Lacy Rand]]'s meeting with [[Barnabas Greeley|Barnabas]] appeared to be fruitless, it was not necessarily so.
