Overview

Helo investigates the claims of Sagittarons that a doctor is discriminating against them by providing substandard medical care.

Summary

Questions

  • What is the current status of the medical supplies for the fleet?
  • Were the stockpile of vaccines and medicines that the Pegasus had before its destruction transferred over to the ships before the battle over New Caprica?
  • Why did Hera need the medication for a curable disease, while her blood was used to cure breast cancer for President Roslin?
  • With the return of Caprica-Six's internal Baltar, does this hint that the internal Six and Baltar are deeply more connected?
  • Will Caprica-Six's hallucinations of Baltar cause suspicion amongst the Colonials, who might mistake her communicating with the Cylons?
  • How many non-military, medical doctors are there in the fleet?
  • Where was Anders during the Joe's bar scene?

Analysis

Notes

  • The title "The Woman King" was first reported by GateWorld.net in an article that contains unconfirmed storyline speculation.
  • The title doesn't literally refer to a king, but to a female character named King.
  • Bruce Davison's character Dr. Robert may be a reference to a song by The Beatles entitled "Dr. Robert". The song is about a doctor who prescribes illicit drugs. The next episode also contains a Beatles reference in its title.
