Overview

Daniel Graystone attempts damage control in light of his wife's false revelation that their daughter was one of the suicide bombers of Maglev 23.

Luciana Carro, who played Viper pilot Captain Louanne "Kat" Katraine in the Re-imagined Series, plays Daniel Graystone's Public Relations officer Priyah Magnus. She joins various other actors from the Re-imagined Series in different Caprica roles, including Michael Eklund (Prosna from the Miniseries and Waylon in "Rebirth"), Christian Tessier (Viper jock Tucker "Duck" Clellan in the Re-imagined Series and Ha'la'tha gangster Francis in this episode), and Nimet Kanji (Candace Myson from "Litmus" and Natalie Stark in "Rebirth").

It is possible that Gara Singh, Director of the Global Defense Department (GDD), sanctions the destruction of evidence if he believes it could hold the Department in a bad light. He did criticize Agent Youngblood for alleged incompetence about not destroying a misfiled and forgotten interrogation tape of her questioning Ben Stark after he was picked up for a curfew violation and found with with what could be interpreted as bomb making materials (Stark explained it away as model rocketry components) nearly a year prior to the attack. Singh was concerned that if it came out it could had been portrayed in the press as GDD incompetence in letting one of the bombers go instead of holding him and perhaps saving many lives. To an outside observer his comment about her not even being competent enough to destroy the tape saving herself and the Department embarrassment and perhaps liability could had been taken as sarcasm. However, as soon as Singh left Agent Jordan Durham and Youngblood's presence Durham did exactly that, destroyed the tape. This seem to indicate that Singh is willing to sanction acts like this because Durham did not express any concern about not being able to producing the tape in the future if Singh or any other GDD or government official asked for it nor did Agent Youngblood object. This could be taken as another example of the corruption of the Government on either Caprica in particular or the other 11 Worlds as a whole.
