Another explosion rocks Caprica City! This time no terrorist act by the Soldiers of One, but a high school student... or was it? At least there were no victims. Police raid the Athena Academy of headmistress Clarice Willow in hopes of finding any clues, if not for this recent explosion, then for the bombing on the monorail that killed Zoe Graystone and some many others. Soon after, the same police ransack Zoe’s room. Meanwhile, Joseph Adama still wishes to even the score and have Zoe’s mother dead, but then wavers after seeing her on TV, finally his guilty conscious weighs against it.
Strangely, Daniel Graystone apparently has very poor security at his home office, because Cylon Zoe can roam about, use his computers, the “holoband” and enter her simulated virtual reality to communicate with her friend Lacy. For his part, Little William Adama is still trying to figure out his life without his mother and sister (both were also killed in that train bombing), in a society that is unappreciative of his Tauron background. (It’s like being Mexican, Italian mobster, and Muslim all wrapped into one...)
What I really found interesting and well done is the scene at Backtalk, a Jay Leno-type talk show everybody on the Twelve Colonies watches, hosted by Baxter Sarno (stand-up comedian Patton Oswalt). Daniel Graystone is supposed to go on to defend his company from all the scandal revolving around his daughter’s involvement with the Soldiers of One as well as the possible connection with the holoband and the virtual reality it offers. Unexpectedly Amanda Graystone joins in, and a great moment finally occurs. It felt very much off-the-cuff, impromptu, like we were actually watching a live talk show. Well done.
