Plot Summary


This episode found Tyrol publicly celebrating the life of Callie in a moving service. During the service, Laura let Bill know that she'd like that sort of remembrance when she dies...

The crew on the Demetrius continues to grumble at Kara's actions...

Gauis incites a riot when he interrupts a service to the gods to proclaim the message of the one true God with his followers. He is put in the brig, where he is later visited by President Roslin...

Tory appears to agree with Gauis' message that people are "perfect just the way the are."

Tigh continues to monitor and visit Number Six daily, or more often, sometimes seeing Ellen's face juxtaposed on Six's body. After witnessing what he thinks is Tyrol's grief for Callie, he wants to know if Cylons feel pain or just shut it off, and she tells him that she welcomes the pain, because that how she learns....

Roslin's actions are beginning to be viewed as less-than-democratic. No one seems to be buying the party line that strict legislation, sometimes denying personal freedoms, is for the greater good...

Additional Notes

-Cally's full name is revealed for the first time as Calandra Henderson Tyrol (according to the closed captioning). Only her nickname, Cally, had been revealed previously. She appears in this episode only in flashbacks.
- Although credited in the main titles, Grace Park does not appear in this episode.
-In a previous episode, Head Six appeared to smash Baltar's face into a mirror but it was not clear if Baltar threw himself into the mirror on his own. In this episode, Baltar seems to be held up and supported by Number Six in front of a crowd of onlookers. This is the first external sign that Number Six can have a physical effect on Baltar's body.
- Aaron Douglas read the "Previously on Battlestar Galactica" line at the beginning of this episode.
