On Caprica Joseph Adama wants Daniel Graystone to help him talk to his daughter’s “avatar,” but because Graystone, believing he lost the program containing his daughter’s “avatar,” no longer wants anything to do with the whole sordid business he refuses. So, now Adama employs the help of his gangster brother, who throws a few punches until Graystone’s nose bleeds. Then, when Graystone finally allows Adama to return to the holographic virtual reality with a “holoband,” the girl is nowhere to be found. Adama, turning grief into anger, orders his brother to even out the score: he (Joseph) lost his daughter and his wife on the train ... Graystone only lost his daughter... Meanwhile, young Will Adama is gravitating towards his mobster uncle, trying to act like a tough guy, cutting class and running errands. The twists in the plot are getting a little more interesting.
On their part, Zoe’s parents are drawing closer over their shared grief and the realization that their daughter was involved with this monotheistic cult the Soldiers of One. With her disembodied “avatar,” uploaded into a Cylon prototype, she overhears her parents arguing whether she was the terrorist responsible for actually detonating the bomb... Then she figures a way to connect her “avatar” to the virtual reality in which she was created, hooks up with her friend Lacy, and stumbles upon Adama’s daughter Tamara! Fortunately that also means we go back to the sweating kids dancing to the droning music, but alas no sex, drugs or violence for now... More religious talk from head mistress Clarice about apotheosis and prophecies about Zoe being the Beloved of the Lord who received the spark of life, etcetera. (BTW: zoë in Greek means “life, life force, strength”; it’s also the Greek translation of the Hebrew name Eve.) Still, I feel this sounds more interesting in writing than it actually is ... and if you were bored to tears just reading this, don’t bother watching, of course, but it’s getting a tad more bearable than last week’s episode...
