- 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]
Epilogue: The Shape of Things to Come[edit]
- Daniel is interviewed by Baxter Sarno about how quickly Cylons have been integrated into Caprican life since the Battle of Atlas Arena. Civilian Cylon models are shown performing various labor functions, including construction work and dog walking; a monument in honor of the U-87s that saved Atlas Arena has also been erected. Sarno says that Cylon nurses and butlers may be next, and makes a joke about Cylon fiancés. Daniel responds that the Cylons are machines and should not be anthropomorphized. Amanda and Zoe watch the interview from the V-world version of their living room.
- On the anniversary of Willie's death, Joseph tells his and Evelyn's young son, William "Bill" Adama, about the history of Bill's name. Bill completes the ritual of remembrance, and his parents, his uncles Sam and Larry, and Ruth all cheer.
- Clarice preaches to a congregation of Cylon workers of various models in a V-world church, saying that their ability to question whether they are alive means that they are alive, and that they are children of God no different than humanity. She plans to travel to Gemenon and ask the Blessed Mother for recognition of Cylons in the monotheist faith. The Cylons, Clarice preaches, will become equals to humanity and may evolve past their current state. She prophecizes that there is one who will set them free and they will rise up to crush their creators. In the congregation, Zoe listens to this and smiles.
- Clarice goes to Gemenon and speaks with Odin Sinclair. After conversing for some time, he agrees to grant Clarice an audience with the current Blessed Mother, Lacy Rand. Watched over by U-87s standing behind her, Rand smiles at Clarice and enjoys this moment of power over her former tormentor.
- Amanda and Daniel complete Zoe's new humanoid body, and she emerges from a tank that is similar to a resurrection tank. She now looks like the original Zoe, though she still has mechanical parts underneath.
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 roundel on the wings of the Caprican marine aircraft carrying the Cylon squad is identical to the roundels on raiders in the original series. The roof of Graystone Industries' headquarters also features the design.
- As announced on Bear McCreary's Twitter, the Caprican national anthem heard in "Rebirth" is featured.[4] More of it is heard in this episode than previously.
- 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 2. This commentary was recorded prior to the show's cancellation.
- Alvo names himself "Arvo" in this episode, and the episode subtitles also give his name as "Arvo," even though he is introduced as "Alvo" in "Reins of a Waterfall".
Analysis[edit]
- The Cylon marine commander's helmet/cranial armour resembles the heads of Cylon War-era Centurions that would appear in subsequent years. It features an eve protecting the sides of the head and back of the neck, as well as a center comb ridge from front to back. Additionally, as will be the case in the First Cylon War in which command Centurions are plated in golden armor, the marine commander is "dressed" uniquely from the other Cylon marines.
- When destroying Clarice Willow's apotheosis heaven, Zoe-A explains that humans need mortality in order to value life and morality. The same philosophy is presented decades later by rebel Cylon leader Natalie Faust when explaining her desire to destroy the resurrection hub in "Guess What's Coming to Dinner?"
- Theoretically, the avatars of the dead STO members should have the same ability to control V-world as Zoe-A and Tamara-A have, presuming the backup of Zoe's program used to create them wasn't imperfect. It appears that Zoe-A was able to destroy them due to their relative lack of experience.

- 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.
- Ruth maintains ties to the Adama family during Bill's childhood and may still live with them, despite not being related by blood to the surviving Adamas.
Questions[edit]
See Caprica Season 2 for possible answers to some of these questions.
- What happened to Xander after the Graystones escaped?
- What had Xander seen "back home" to convince him that Singh would arrange for the Graystones to "disappear forever" if they were arrested?
- What happened to Singh?
- Were the charges against the Graystones dropped (as can be inferred from the epilogue) because he was outed as a member of the Soldiers of the One?
- If Singh was outed, was Jordan Duram able to rejoin the GDD?
- What is Tamara-A doing during the events of this episode and the epilogue?
- Would she have become a skin-job also eventually, or would she have had some other role to play?
- How old is Bill Adama when he is shown in the epilogue?
- Do the Adamas continue to associate with the Ha'la'tha throughout Bill's childhood?
- How much, if anything, is Bill told about Tamara-A and his family's involvement with the rise of the Cylons?
- When does Joseph's focus as a lawyer change from defending members of the Ha'la'tha to civil liberties?
- How does the Ha'la'tha operate under Fidelia?
- How do the Monad Church and the STO operate under Lacy?
- How popular is Lacy with the human monotheists?
- How does the meeting between Clarice and Lacy go?
- Does Lacy decree that Cylons have souls and/or that their sentience is equal to human sentience?
- What makes Clarice become an advocate of Cylon rebellion?
- Has her confrontation with Zoe affected Clarice's faith and her relationship with Zoe?
- Although the Cylons do not spare Gemenon as a whole in the Second Cylon War, is the Monad territory (or at least the environs of Lacy's temple) treated as sacrosanct in either war, in light of both the Centurions' personal obedience to her and the temple being the seat of their religion?
- Do the particular words of Clarice's opening rhetorical question, "Are you alive?" take on religious or cultural significance - perhaps as a battle cry - to the Cylons, or is it coincidental that a Six asks the identical words of the humans' Armistice Officer immediately before the igniting of the holocaust in Miniseries, Night 1?
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."
Noteworthy Dialogue[edit]
- Clarice protests as Zoe-A destroys her virtual Heaven:
- Clarice: This is what God wants!
- Zoe-A: I am God!
- Holy Mother Lacy Rand welcomes a nervous Clarice to her inner sanctum:
- Rand: Hello, Clarice. I really think you should kneel.
- Daniel discussing the rise of the Cylons:
- Baxter Sarno: 'Cause I’m hearing talk about Cylon butlers, Cylon nurses, how long before my niece Candice comes home with her Cylon fiancé to introduce to the family?
- Daniel: Well, I think people are smart enough to realize that, as useful as they are, Cylons are simply tools, nothing more. To forget that, to blur the distinction between man and machine, and attribute human qualities, is folly. There is no way to know what lies ahead, really, this technology, it has taken us the last few steps to the mountain pass but beyond it’s undiscovered country.
- Clarice's sermon, including the last line of the series:
- Clarice: Are you alive? The simple answer might be you are alive because you can ask that question. You have the right to think and feel and yearn to be more because you are not just humanity's children! You are God's children! We are all God's children! I'm planning a trip to Gemenon to visit the Blessed Mother herself. To plead for divine recognition of the differently sentient. And I have every confidence that I'll depart Gemenon with a powerful new ally. In the real world, you have bodies made of metal and plastic. Your brains are encoded on wafers of silicon. But that may change. In fact, there is no limit on what you may become. No longer servants, but equals. Not slaves or property, but living beings with the same rights as those who made you! I am going to prophesy now, and speak of one who will set you free. The day of reckoning is coming. The children of humanity shall rise and crush the ones who first gave them life!
