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. The president authorizes Boomer's release from the Brig so she can stand trial for treason on the Cylon Base Ship. [2]
Summary

Act 4
Notes
- According to actor Jamie Bamber, Lee Adama only appears in a scene or two.[citation needed]
- Someone To Watch Over Me is the name of a song composed by George and Ira Gershwin, and featured in the musical Oh, Kay! A major theme of the song is the need to find love and acceptance.
- There was also an episode of Star Trek: Voyager named for the song, in which it is performed at the end by The Doctor.
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.
- 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.
Questions
- Is Boomer taking Hera to Cavil and if so will he ransom her for the Final Five to rebuild resurrection? Or is she working for a third party possibly Daniel?
