A four-page excerpt from this episode is available as a side for the role of [[Selloi Dedona]] [http://www.nowcasting.com/sides/Episodic/BATTLESTAR%20GALACTICA/301%20Occupation/Selloi_Dedona_4pgs.pdf] from the website [http://www.nowcasting.com/index.php nowcasting.com]. From this, the following information about this episode can be gleaned. Bear in mind that any of these plot points may change before the episode airs:
*Selloi Dedona is a human oracle, whom cylon [[D'anna Biers]] consults. She asserts that Biers has lost her faith in the cylon God, which Biers denies. Dedona tells Biers that [[Hera]], the hybrid daughter of [[Sharon Valerii (Caprica copy)]] and [[Karl Agathon]] is still alive. She claims the message originates with the cylon God himself, and also warns Biers to remember the story of [[Wikipedia:Medusa|Medusa]], predicting a similar downfall.
*[[Ellen Tigh]] is having a sexual affair with someone at a place referred to as the "Cylon planning office".
*[[Samuel Anders]] and [[Galen Tyrol]] are part of a human resistance movement. They successfully detonate a bomb near a [[Heavy Raider]], destroying it and numerous [[Cylon Centurion]]s and copies of cylon agents number [[Number Five|five]], [[Number Six|six]], and [[Number Eight|eight]].
*[[Laura Roslin]] and [[Tory Foster]] review reconnaissance photos of a police force composed of human collaborators, which appears to be about 200-strong, 50 of which can be identified by name. Roslin is apparently concerned with documenting collaborators and resistance fighters, pending [[William Adama]]'s return.
*[[Saul Tigh]] is the prisoner of a copy of [[Cavil]] in a detention facility.
*Some fans have inferred that one of Saul Tigh's eyes is injured in this episode, based on a reference to "his eye" in the singular [http://forums.televisionwithoutpity.com/index.php?s=&showtopic=3122121&view=findpost&p=4939468], [http://forums.televisionwithoutpity.com/index.php?s=&showtopic=3122121&view=findpost&p=4940506], [http://forums.televisionwithoutpity.com/index.php?s=&showtopic=3122121&view=findpost&p=4958240], [http://forums.televisionwithoutpity.com/index.php?s=&showtopic=3122121&view=findpost&p=4970887]. This has been the source of considerable fan controversy, so the relevant passage is excerpted below for reference purposes:
<pre>Tigh says nothing. Won't even look at him. Cavil reaches
into a pocket and takes out a TOOTHBRUSH, a WASHCLOTH, and a
BAR of SOAP.
                    BROTHER CAVIL (cont'd)
          Brought you some things. Might as
          well be comfortable as long as
          you're here, right?
Tigh closes his eye, trying not to slide into hopelessness as
he realizes this means he's going to be here a long time.</pre>
According to call sheet posted to [http://www.trekbbs.com/threads/showflat.php?Cat=0&Number=5930676&Main=4942344#Post5930676 TrekBBS], Tigh will be released from the detention facility later on in this episode.
