Overview
Starbuck discovers a hidden musical ability that bears a mysterious significance to the final five Cylons, and her tune is found to have a connection with three-year-old human-Cylon hybrid Hera.

Analysis
- The Cylons seem to have officially joined the fleet as they now have the representation they wanted on the new Quorum in the form of a Six named Sonja.
- Ellen's escape from Cavil seems to have been orchestrated between him and Boomer in order to get her on Galactica so she could kidnap Hera.

- Projections can include not just imaginary environments but also imaginary people, such as Boomer and Tyrol's "daughter" Dionne.
- Galactica is in very bad shape from the metal fatigue in the hull. It's so bad that Tyrol says that all the organic resin could do is buy a little more time but not too much from the looks of it. The ship is dying of old age and there's nothing anyone can do save it completely.
- Is the image of "Slick" a projection of Kara's Father. If so, based on his creativity and the timing of Kara's birth, could Daniel be her father? Her abusive mother made it clear she was special. Her knowledge of the song, and the symbol from the supernova cannot be simple coincidence.
