Episode Notes
Survivor count: 41,401

This episode marks the "death" of Number Three, as her entire line is boxed by the other Cylons.

The mandala painting in Kara's apartment was actually painted by Katee Sackhoff herself, neither she or even the producers aware of the role it was going to play.



Episode Quotes
Kara: I love Sam; I hate Sam. But I love Lee; I hate Lee. Gods, I have to cheat just keep the pieces all nice and neat.

Number Three: (seeing the face of one of the Final Five) You. Forgive me. I - I had no idea.

Baltar: God, tell me the truth before I die.
(a gun is pointed at his head)
Tyrol: Welcome home, Mr. President.
(Tyrol knocks him out)



Episode Goofs
The gun Cavil pulls on D'Anna switches hands between shots.



Episode References
The Eye of Jupiter reminds Helo of one of Starbuck's paintings in her Carpica apartment. This painting is visible in the episode "Valley of Darkness".



Analysis
Boomer's threat to snap Hera's neck echoes the beginning of the miniseries when a Number Six kills an infant by breaking its neck. The interesting aspect is that it is the same Six here who stops Boomer who, at that time in the series, was living among the Galactica crew. Now things have changed as Boomer has now become detached from her belief in living among humans that has driven her since her download among her brethren. However, Six fulfill her same role as she had snapped the child's neck, knowing that she had ushered in the Cylons to replace their "parents" and so she does again, this time to Boomer, in order to protect the new "children".
