Overview
- Zoe's attachment to the Cylon Prototype makes it difficult for Daniel and his company to duplicate success with other bodies. Amanda looks into her daughter's life and finds that she barely knew the real Zoe. Sister Clarice invites Lacy for dinner, as Sam begins to have a bad influence on his nephew.
Summary
Act 1
Act 2
Act 3
Act 4
Notes
- The musical piece Daniel Graystone is playing on the piano in his lab is the second movement of Nomion's 3rd Sonata.
- In this episode, Bear McCreary introduces a specific theme for Sister Clarice Willow entitled "Clarice Theme."[1]
- Joseph Adama's car is a Citroën DS, a well-known French car produced between 1955 and 1975.
Analysis
- Group marriages are legal in Caprican society, though unusual.
- The lyric "so say we all" in the Caprican anthem, "Caprica Abides," may signal strong ties between religion and state, perhaps even official endorsement.
- The Soldiers of the One is viewed by many (including the Caprican security forces) as a terrorist group, but that maybe a simplistic and overly monolithic view. Assuming that the vision/memory of meeting Ben Stark and hearing about the STO is at least partially accurate, it would mean that the original Zoe Graystone had been a member of the group. Nevertheless, she never appeared to advocate violent action, and was horrified when Stark revealed his bomb seconds before it was detonated. Stark's unwillingness to inform her ahead of time suggests that those in the STO who advocate terrorism must operate separately from those who do not.
Questions
- Is Zoe developing feelings for Philomon? If he finds out about her being in the U-87, will he become an ally?
- Why does Sam throw the trashcan through the store window?
- Why does Sam not want William to say the name "Guatrau"?
- Where is Tamara's avatar now?
- What is the previous incident that Clarice's spouses refer to?
- Is Clarice beginning a downward slide when she visits the Dive Bar?
- How much did Natalie know about her son's activities?
- Are Nestor and Clarice trying to get information out of Lacy about Zoe-A?
