Overview[edit]
- Daniel and Amanda Graystone and Zoe-A race to stop Clarice Willow's master plan and save thousands of lives before Caprica is changed forever (Caprica series finale).
Summary[edit]
[edit]
Act 1[edit]
Act 2[edit]
Act 3[edit]
Act 4[edit]
Notes[edit]
- Apotheosis has been mentioned in conjunction with Zoe Graystone's avatar program and is one of Sister Clarice Willow's goals.
- The pentagon symbol on the wings of the Caprican marine aircraft carrying the Cylon squad is identical to markings on raiders in the original series.
- According to Bear McCreary's Twitter, the Caprican national anthem heard in "Rebirth" will be featured.[4]
- On the DVD commentary for this episode, executive producer Kevin Murphy says the ramifications of the coda sequence, set five years later, would be explored in season two. This commentary was recorded prior to the show's cancellation.
Analysis[edit]
- It is possible that the Zoe listening to Clarice's sermon was Messenger Zoe. Given the events of Caprica, especially the previous episode and this one, it is unlikely that Clarice would tolerate Zoe-A's presence under any circumstances, and it is just as unlikely that Zoe-A would allow Clarice to even suggest violence, much less preach it openly. Only a brief glimpse of Zoe is offered, so there are none of the usual indicators of a Messenger, such as others in the same space obviously ignoring the character, or a non-Messenger character having a conversation with what turns out to be air.

| *Fidelia Fazekas' recognition of the need to support the rebellion on Tauron suggests that she will continue the flow of Cylons started by the Adamas, or even increase it. |
Questions[edit]
- What happened to Xander after the Graystones escaped?
- What happens to Singh? Were the charges against the Graystones dropped (as can be inferred) because he was outed as a member of the Soldiers of the One?
- What happens to Duram?
- How old is Bill Adama as we see him in the epilogue?
Official Statements[edit]
- From the Caprica panel at the Paley Center:
- Sasha Roiz: "Our finale is unbelievable. It's so powerful that I remember me and Esai calling each other after reading the script. We were both absolutely floored by how it ends."
- Esai Morales: "The finale drove me to tears on various occasions. What happens is so profound and out of the blue. [It was] so unexpected it took my breath away."
