Tamara, blaming the Zoe avatar for the bombing of the MagLev and death of her real life counterpart, unleashed wave after wave of New Cap City users against her. Enduring a bloody assault, Zoe survived the ordeal - taking solace from the reappearance of the original Zoe's imaginary counterpart.

			*According to the aforementioned Kevin Murphy audio commentaries, Zoe's transition to a skin job form was necessitated by the show's budgetary limitations, unable to sustain the cost of depicting Zoe in either her robot form or the virtual world.

			*Of Zoe's appearance in Sister Clarice's V-world congregation of Cylons in the final moments of the series finale, "Apotheosis", Murphy said he had no idea why Zoe was present.

	Immediately following the break, STO operative and director of the [[Global Defense Department]] [[Gara Singh]] used his authority within the Caprican government and stormed the Graystone residence, falsely accusing Daniel and Amanda Graystone of planning the MLMT bombing. Alone in the virtual version of the Graystones' house, Zoe was cut off from her parents who were on the run from the authorities. Viewing [[Caprica Network\|CAP News]] coverage depicting the Graystones as wanted terrorists, Zoe realized Willow's involvement and infiltrated Clarice's "Virtual Heaven" as the Apotheosis program commenced ([[CAP]]: "[[Apotheosis (episode)\|Apotheosis]]").

	In the aftermath of the destruction of Clarice Willow's virtual heaven and the battle at [[Atlas Arena]], Daniel and Amanda Graystone were cleared of the charges leveled against them ~~and devoted~~ their attention and resources to the development of Zoe's "skin job."
