Episode Summary |

[x] Remove Ad
The consciousness of two Cylon models have been downloaded into new bodies and made celebrities for their success: the Number Six who seduced Baltar before the attack on the Colonies and the sleeper agent from Galactica known as Boomer. However, neither are accepting of their status.
Elsewhere in the Colonial fleet, a decision must be made over what to do with Sharon's baby for fear of what the hybrid child might mean to the Cylons.

Episode Notes |
| |
Survivor count: 49,579
| Series stars Katee Sackhoff and Jamie Bamber do not appear in this episode.
| The model number of the Cylon known as D'Anna Biers is Number Three; Aaron Doral is Number Five; and Sharon Valerii is Number Eight.
| The Cylons known as Simon and Leoben Conoy are seen, but are only in the background and from behind. The characters are played by body doubles. This is simply because the characters were not featured in the script and it was felt unnecessary to bring in Rick Worthy and Callum Keith Rennie.
| A majority of the dialogue overheard narrating in the recap appears to be exclusively written, not taken from any previous episode.
| It's established that despite their identical appearance, Cylons can tell the difference between copies of the same model.
| This episode has been nominated for the 2007 Hugo Award for Best Dramatic Presentation, Short Form.
| The music that accompanies the Baltar that Caprica-Six sees is the music associated with Number Six, only played backwards.

Episode Quotes |
| |
Dr. Cottle: (to Sharon) I find it absolutely amazing you people went to all the trouble to appear human and didn't upgrade the plumbing.
| Number Three: If we don't turn her around soon, there's talks of boxing her.
Caprica-Six: Putting her memories in cold storage? You can't be serious!
Gaius Baltar: Well, that's a charming way to deal with emotional problems. One might almost call it inhuman. Oh, that's right, you are.
| Caprica-Six: Following God's path is never easy.
Gaius Baltar: Oh, don't go all religious with this one. What are you thinking?
Boomer: Do you think I care about your God?
Caprica-Six: Look, God loves you.
Boomer: (picks up a picture of the Galactica crew) This is love. These people love me. I love them. I didn't pretend to feel something so I could screw people over. I loved them. And then I betrayed them! I shot a man I love. Frakked over another man, ruined his life, and why? Because I'm a lying machine! I'm a frakking Cylon!
| Sharon: Oh, she's our little girl. We made her.
Helo: Almost makes you want to believe in the Cylon God. (off Sharon's look) Almost.
| Boomer: She's frakking with you, can't you see that?
Caprica-Six: But why?
Gaius Baltar: Oh, it's so perfectly obvious. You know, for self-aware cybernetic lifeforms, sometimes you can be unbearably obtuse.
| Caprica-Six: Don't kill him.
Number Three: Why not?
Gaius Baltar: Hmm. Why not kill him? You've already killed billions of people. Do you honestly believe one more body's gonna weigh any heavier on your conscience? Which is something that you don't have. Do you?
| Gaius Baltar: Life is short, but the next one's not.

Cultural References |
| |
This episode marks the first use of the term "skin job" in reference to the humanoid Cylons. The term originates from the film Blade Runner, which not only also starred Edward James Olmos, but also deals with robot replicants of humans, the term "skin job" being applied in a derogatory fashion. Co-writer Bradley Thompson has said that the term was applied as a quick method of categorisation in the script, and was simply never shot down in the approval stages.
