-During the digital media tour, the press was shown a set that was described as a Cylon conference room which had been shot up. Apparently, a number of Cylon Centurions have rebelled against the human Cylons when they learned that the human Cylons had been repressing intelligent thought in the Centurions using a chip so that they remain passive.

-According to someone who auditioned for the part of the priestess, Cally kills herself. [Highly speculative]

-Lee looks to have rejoined Roslin's administration.

Various spoilers seem to be pointing to a bit of a civil war breaking out within the Cylon once they learn that four of the remaining models are in the human fleet. This leads to dissention over whether or not to continue to attack the human fleet. Apparently, three models (all of the same gender) will be entirely wiped out with the help of the Cylon Centurions.

-Tracey Anne makes another appearance.

-Michael Taylor mentioned that a character dies in episode 403. This would seem to fit with the long ago spoiler about Cally's death. Perhaps this episode deals with the aftermath of Cally's suicide at the end of the previous episode.

-Baltar's beliefs create a controversy for those faithful to the 12 Lords of Kobol, and a crew member's demise casts a pall on the Colonials.

-Tyrol tells Adama that he won't make someone an angel who wasn't an angel. Ellen, dressed as Caprica Six, appears to Tigh. Then the next shot IS Caprica Six, who asks Tigh what he wants of her. He's obviously confused. Caprica jumps on top of Tigh and seems to be enjoying beating up on Tigh, who just lies there and takes a few punches. Tory says that they were meant to be perfect and to think about what means.
-It's toasters versus tasties as the heavy-metal Cylons begin plotting to put Six's humanoid peeps in their place. Coolest. Coup. Ever. - Baltar stirs up trouble once again as his messiah complex creates divisions within the Colonial fleet. Seems his monotheistic teachings don't sit too well with those who believe in the 12 Lords of Kobol (like Roslin and Starbuck). Also, look for fallout galore in the aftermath of a beloved crew member's death.
