Overview

Baltar is rigorously questioned about his past and what the Cylons know about Earth. Meanwhile, both Kara Thrace and Lee Adama struggle with their feelings for one another and are forced to make a decision about their respective marriages.

Summary

Questions

  • What is the nature of Chief Tyrol's worries? Does he really have marital problems with Cally?
  • What is going to happen to Caprica Six aboard Galactica?

Analysis

Notes

  • This is the second episode of the series to be directed by Edward James Olmos. The first was Season 1's "Tigh Me Up, Tigh Me Down".
  • With 30 characters, this episode has the longest title of any Re-imagined Series episode to date.
  • The title is also a partial quote from "Where Everybody Knows Your Name," the theme song to the television program Cheers written by Gary Portnoy & Judy Hart Angelo. — "Making your way in the world today takes everything you've got./Taking a break from all your worries, sure would help a lot."
  • A bonus scene is available on SciFi's website. In it, Roslin discovers evidence that Caprica-Six was the Cylon model that broke into the Colonial defense mainframe before the attack. Roslin tries to gain information by promising Six that she won't be executed, but Six counters that Roslin made the same promise to Leoben and broke it (Flesh and Bone). Furthermore, Caprica-Six adamantly states that she will not reveal any information unless she is assured that Baltar will receive a fair trial. If he does, she will be willing to be the primary witness and share all the information that Roslin wants to know.

Noteworthy Dialogue

Official Statements

  • Tyrol's toast to Lee Adama after discovering Joe's Bar:
Tyrol: To marriage. Why we build bars.
