Summary

Notes

• The very day after this episode first aired, Syfy announced that it would not be renewing the series for a second season. The subsequent five episodes were then pushed back to 2011 airdates. Foreshadowing this, Syfy did not air the preview for the next episode at the conclusion of this episode as normal.

Atreus and his thugs hold up Sam Adama in front of Downtown Community Court?

• In the scene where Atreus and his thugs search Sam Adama's hearse, Vancouver's Downtown Community Court can be seen. This is likely a mistake given the criminal activity and proximity to a court.
• Lacy Rand, Zoe-A, and Tamara-A do not appear in this episode.

Questions

• Will Sam send Cylons to the rebels on Tauron, despite the Guatrau's orders? (Answer)

Noteworthy Dialogue

• Baxter Sarno on New Cap City:

Baxter Sarno: So I tried to play this holoband game New Cap City. I held up a liquor store and I rolled a guy in an alley. If I do it three more times, I'll have enough money to actually buy the game and play it.

• The Guatrau suggests a change to the Grace commercial using Daniel Graystone's avatar:

Guatrau: Then may I suggest that you re-shoot it. And this time use the actual Dr. Graystone. After all, there's no substitute for the real thing.

• Under orders from Sam Adama, a U-87 finishes its efficient elimination of rival gangsters:

U-87: Task completed by your command.

Sam Adama: How are you with tanks?
