Lady with glasses
An unnamed old lady with glasses[1] is among several escapees of the nuclear bombing of Caprica. She participates in the lottery for the few available seats on a Raptor from Galactica, crewed by Karl Agathon and Sharon Valerii.
The old woman asks fellow refugee Gaius Baltar to help read her lottery number as she cannot find her glasses, not realizing that her glasses are resting safely on top of her head.
The woman has the final selected number, "47".[2] Baltar hesitates to answer the old woman, as if he was considering switching his number for hers, when Agathon calls to him to approach.
Fearing that Agathon knows something about his involvement in the Cylon attack, Baltar claims not to have done anything wrong, points out that the old woman has the lucky number, and escorts her to the front of the crowd and to the Raptor.
Agathon chooses to give his seat up for Baltar, believing his scientific mind would be more helpful to the mankind's survival (Miniseries, Night 1).
