Posted by Mr Random on June 26, 2008
Key Events
Head 6 disapears from Baltars head and a copy of number 6 appears on Galactica with evidence supposedly showing him planting a bomb in the Colonial Defense Mainframe on Caprica.
Boomer suggests to Tyrol that he should treat the captured cylon Raider more as an animal than a machine
Boomer finds the word Cylon written on the inside of her locker
After Baltar prays to and acknowledges God pledging himself to his service, Head 6 reappears. Gaeta then finds proof the evidence is false, and frees Baltar. Shelly Godfrey has disappeared without a trace only leaving her glasses as evidence that she existed at all
On Caprica Boomer and Helo have sex
What we Learn
It is 24 days since the attack on the colonies
Roslin now has a “gut” instinct that Baltar was somehow involved in the attack on the colonies
Unanswered Questions
Was Shelly Godfrey a normal copy of number 6 or a physical manifestation of “Head 6″?
Was her evidence the same evidence that Dr Amarak was planning to give the president in 33?
Was it Boomers cylon programming that wrote the word inside her locker, another cylon agent or some other troublemaker?
