Overview

As Tamara and Zoe continue to reshape New Cap City, Daniel Graystone seeks the help of Sam Adama to enter the dangerous game. The Willows move closer to apotheosis. Jordan Duram's investigation is plagued with more problems. Lacy Rand becomes a threat to the STO after it is discovered that the U-87 units recognize her commands.

Summary

Teaser

• From a turret atop their newly made castle, Tamara-A and Zoe-A survey with satisfaction the forested mountains that they have created inside the New Cap City game. Tamara wishes to add one more detail, and with a simple squeeze of her hand, the forest echoes with the screeches of distant dragons.
• With Amanda Graystone at his side, Daniel Graystone searches for the two girls in New Cap City by tracing the alterations they have been making to the game. Amanda argues that she should be the first to approach Zoe, since she had a nasty fight with the original flesh and blood Zoe Graystone the day before their daughter was killed. Daniel counters that he had done worse, torturing the avatar of Zoe with her fear of fire when he believed that she was hiding inside the prototype U-87 combat robot. Amanda slaps him across the face, but allows him to locate the girls in a sea of code. Using a backdoor access that is a regular feature of all V-World software, Daniel snatches one of them without warning and pulls her into a private space. Daniel dons a holoband and enters.
• He speaks calmly with a terrified Tamara, who ignores his request to see Zoe and only begs to be let go. Her persists until he hears Zoe greeting him. He turns and sees her waiting. Daniel relaxes, but suddenly Zoe attacks him with a dagger hidden behind her back. He throws off his holoband and re-enters the real world, clutching at his chest.

Notes

• This episode confirms the identity of the orange planet in the vicinity of Caprica as Gemenon: a scene on Caprica ends with an orbital view panning up from Caprica and settling on the orange planet, and a new scene at the STO training camp on Gemenon begins.
