Overview

Returning with the help of the Demetrius, the rebel Cylon faction requests an alliance with the Colonials in order to plan a joint-attack mission against the Cylons’ vital Resurrection Hub. Meanwhile on Colonial One, Lee Adama and the Quorum express their mistrust of President Roslin and her secrecy regarding the new Cylon alliance. Aboard Galactica, Colonel Tigh struggles with the prospect of un-boxing the Threes in order to reveal the identities of the Final Five, and Gaeta copes with the amputation of his leg.

Notes

  • The episode title is probably a reference to the 1967 film Guess Who's Coming to Dinner.
  • Although it is a common Hollywood convention, a gunshot does not cause a person to fly backwards a large distance as shown with Natalie. The effect is achieved by pulling back the actors with a cable.
