Overview[edit]

Barnabas Greeley's leadership of the STO on Caprica is challenged by a failed bombing and the return of Clarice Willow. Jordan Duram solicits Amanda Graystone for help in his investigation of the STO. Daniel Graystone begins a blackmail campaign against members of the Graystone Industries board as part of his attempt to reclaim the corporation.

Summary[edit]

Teaser[edit]

  • Inside a nearly deserted Caprica Interplanetary Spaceport terminal, Soldiers of the One members Pann, Hippolyta, and Lacy Rand quietly go about setting up explosive devices. Before Rand can remove hers from a bag, a security guard confronts her, but is suddenly shot dead by Pann. The three terrorists flee into the rainy night and a waiting car driven by Keon Gatwick. As they speed away, Hippolyta prepares to detonate the bombs--until Rand tells them that she still has a device with her, in the car.

Act 1[edit]

  • The terrorists begin to realize the depth of their failure: not only were they unable to carry out the mission given to them by the leader of their cell, Barnabas Greeley, but the unexploded devices left in the terminal bear their fingerprints. Hippolyta and Pann berate Rand for her incompetence, until Rand demands to be dropped off.
  • At the Graystone Estate, Sam Adama pushes a confused and angry Cornell Gast inside, where he is confronted by Joseph Adama and Gast's former friend, Daniel Graystone. Daniel explains that as a member of the board of directors of Graystone Industries, Gast's vote is required to reinstate Daniel as the corporation's CEO, and that he is willing to publicly reveal Gast's history of drug abuse and sexual assault on young girls in order to ensure that vote. Gast indignantly refuses and is allowed to leave.
  • Joseph and Sam sit down with Daniel and review their files on other Graystone Industries board members. One by one, blackmailable details of drunken driving, marital infidelity, and illicit sex emerge. Despite his misgivings about betraying colleagues and friends, Daniel carries on.
  • Waking from a dream about her daughter Zoe, Amanda Graystone notices her friend Clarice Willow lying in bed, wearing a holoband, and mumbling about Zoe. In V-world, Sister Clarice is talking with Alvo about the failed attack on the spaceport and the involvement of Clarice's former followers, who she calls her "children." Alvo demands that Clarice take action.
  • Gast sits in a parked car somewhere in Caprica City, finishes composing a letter, puts a gun to his head, and fires.

Act 2[edit]

Act 3[edit]

Act 4[edit]

Act 5[edit]

Notes[edit]

  • Zoe-A and Tamara-A do not appear in this episode.
  • A ship of the same type as Colonial One is seen lifting off from the Caprica Interplanetary Spaceport.

Analysis[edit]

  • Zoe briefly has red eyes in Amanda's nightmare, accompanied by the distinctive sound of a Centurion's eye flashing. This indicates a subconscious awareness on Amanda's part of a connection between her daughter and the robot or possibly a similarity to the prescient dreams many Battlestar Galactica characters experience.
  • Clarice is aided by Olaf Willow in her drive to eliminate members of Greeley's cell. Both Olaf and Nestor Willow, two of Clarice's husbands, have previously been shown as collaborators working with Clarice (CAP: "Know Thy Enemy," "The Imperfections of Memory"). Nestor is absent in this episode and was last seen near Clarice's car, which was bombed (CAP: "End of Line"); however, an article in The Caprican indicates that he survived [2].

Questions[edit]

  • What are Clarice's plans for Lacy? (Answer)
  • Did Greeley escape Clarice's bomb?
