Line #102 Recap/BattlestarGalactica2003S04E20DaybreakPart2


1	'''Season 4, Episode 20:'''
2	!Daybreak, Part II & III
3
4	Baltar is sitting in the commune quarters, which are now empty. Head-Six appears once more and tells him to trust in God's plan, and that he will be the author of the events that will be unfolding soon.
5
6	The crew make final preparations for the mission. Helo briefs the pilots on their mission and asks if anyone wants to back out. No one does, and Lee explains that Hera is likely being held deep within the Colony.
7
8	In the CIC, Bill and the ambulatory members of the Final Five (including Tyrol, who was released from the brig) are explaining to the staff that Anders will be hooked up to the ship's computer systems, and will use them to interface with the Colony's Hybrids and disable its defenses. Wiring and tubes are strewn throughout the CIC as Anders is placed in a Hybrid tank.
9
10	Bill transfers command of the Fleet to Hoshi, and tells him that ''Galactica'' should be considered lost if it doesn't report back in 12 hours. At the same time, Lee transfers presidential authority to Romo Lampkin and orders him to take care of the Fleet in his absence.
11
12	As the last staff members leave the ship, Baltar decides to stay behind over the wishes of his fellow commune members. An impressed Lee gives Baltar a weapon, while Caprica-Six leads several friendly Centurions (marked by red sashes) to defensive points throughout the ship.
13
14	A final round of checks are done throughout the ship. Lee, Nowart and a group of Marines get in position to board to board the Colony. Baltar is in a hallway when Caprica-Six joins him to defend the corridor. Roslin and Nurse Ishay are gathering supplies for the imminent arrival of wounded people, and Ellen tells Bill that Anders is plugged in and ready to work. Bill gives a final RousingSpeech to the crew and orders them to jump.
15
16	''Galactica'' jumps into the area just a short distance from the walls of the Colony, and is immediately onset with numerous Cylon gun batteries firing on them. As Viper squadrons launch and defend the ship from waves of Raiders that are emerging, Racetrack and Skulls arm their nuclear devices to fire after ''Galactica'' gets clear of the station. The Raptor is suddenly hit by debris, killing both occupants and leaving it adrift.
17
18	Bill orders full forward thrust, and ''Galactica'' [[RammingAlwaysWorks smashes through the Colony's wall]]. Anders connects with the Colony's Hybrids and forces them to take the gun batteries offline, allowing the other Raptors to launch and dock onboard the station.
19
20	Inside, Cavil and Boomer see what is happening. A copy of Simon doubts ''Galactica''[='=]s chances, but Boomer (in a fit of rage after seeing him trying to work on Hera) snaps his neck and takes Hera with her. Cavil and a copy of Doral and Simon elect to attack the Battlestar head-on.
21
22	The Marines board the Colony and begin making their way through the halls while taking down Centurions. Soon after, Sharon and Helo's team finds Boomer, who is carrying Hera. Boomer hands the child back to her mother and tells the group that she knows it doesn't excuse what she did, but she is at peace with what she has done. After a brief pause, Sharon unloads half a clip into Boomer, who falls dead to the floor. Sharon and Kara's team meet up and they head back to ''Galactica''.
23
24	In ''Galactica''[='=]s hallways, Baltar makes amends with Caprica-Six for his behavior before and they rekindle their old relationship. The moment is short-lived, as they realize enemy Centurions have broken through ''Galactica''[='=]s defenses and are coming onboard. Together, they fend off the invaders until Lee's group arrives and gives backup. Lee stays behind with Baltar to HoldTheLine while the others head towards the CIC.
25
26	As Kara's group moves through the halls, enemy Centurions appear and attack. In the skirmish, Helo is injured and Hera gets scared and runs away. Sharon runs after her, while Roslin has a vision of Hera running in sickbay and goes to find her.
27
28	Cavil's group marches through ''Galactica''[='=]s corridors and attempts to assault the CIC, but the Simon and Doral copies are killed and Cavil is placed under guard. At the same time, Baltar and Caprica-Six have retreated through the corridors and find Hera, who they take along with them. They both realize that it is exactly like a vision they had, and elect to bring her to the CIC.
29
30	Baltar, Six and Hera arrive in CIC to witness the aftermath of the attempted attack. When an explosion rocks the ship from the fighting outside, Cavil grabs a gun and takes Hera hostage in a bid for freedom.
31
32	Baltar gives an impassioned speech to Cavil, explaining to him that Hera is key to both the Cylons' and humanity's survival. He tells him that God is not on anyone's side, and asks him to take a leap of faith so that both groups can work out their differences. Tigh also tells Cavil that the Five will teach the Cylons the secret of immortality. At this, Cavil releases Hera. He and Bill both order their forces to stand down.
33
34	Roslin and Kara arrive at the CIC, while the Vipers and Raiders dock with ''Galactica''. As everyone watches, the rest of the Final Five get ready to access the information by dipping their hands into Anders's tank. Ellen tells the group that for a moment they will all know everything there is to know about each other. A nervous Tory tells the others that they're all fallible and that they should be forgiven for their mistakes. They all put their hands in and begin to share information, as flashes from Sam, Ellen and Saul's lives appear.
35
36	Tory's memory of [[Recap/BattlestarGalactica2003S04E03TheTiesThatBind killing Cally]] surfaces and everyone is shocked. An outraged Tyrol pulls his hands out of the tank and snaps Tory's neck in response.
37
38	At this, Anders and the Colony's Hybrid scream and lose the connection, while the powered-down enemy Raiders reactivate and start attacking Galactica again in response. A firefight breaks out in the CIC, and several enemy Cylons are killed. Cavil swears in frustration and turns the gun on himself before pulling the trigger.
39
40	In space, Racetrack's disabled Raptor is floating lifelessly when a piece of debris strikes it. This causes the dead Racetrack's hand to slip and hit the release button, causing a payload of nuclear missiles to fire and strike the Colony.
41
42	Explosions are occuring throughout the station, which is being pulled towards the black hole. Onboard ''Galactica'', a frantic Bill orders Kara to jump the ship. She responds that she doesn't have the Fleet's rendezvous coordinates, and he tells her to make a blind jump.
43
44	Remembering Hera's drawings and the [[Recap/BattlestarGalactica2003S04E17SomeoneToWatchOverMe piano lessons with her father]], Kara realizes that the musical notes correspond to jump coordinates. She enters them into the nav computer and jumps the ship out before the Colony is destroyed.
45
46	''Galactica'' finishes the jump, and its superstructure buckles and wobbles in response before the engines finally reactivate. Bill asks for a status report, and Saul tells him that the ship's back is broken and will never be able to jump again. When Bill asks where Kara has taken them, she stands in stunned surprise. ''Galactica'' limps by in orbit of a moon to reveal… our familiar Earth (as opposed to the original home of the Thirteenth Tribe that the Fleet found in [[Recap/BattlestarGalactica2003S04E10Revelations "Revelations"]]).
47
48	----
49
50	The Fleet arrives at ''Galactica''[='=]s position twelve hours later, and landing ships are immediately dispatched to the planet's surface.
51
52	Bill, Saul, Cottle, Hoshi and Baltar arrive at a savannah and use binoculars to scope out a tribe of native humans. Cottle tells the group that the natives are genetically compatible with them, and Bill reacts in shock to the news.
53
54	As the command crew plan out their next moves, Lampkin asks to start building a city using parts from the Fleet. Lee tells the group he has a better idea: to let humanity start over again by rejecting technology and hopefully breaking the cycle of warfare between humans and technology. A copy of Leoben tells the group that his line, as well as the Sixes and Eights, will also remain on the planet to help humanity repopulate, and that they have given control of the Basestar to the Centurions to find a new home for themselves and have their own freedom.
55
56	Bill gives everyone their orders to repopulate various parts of the world and spread humanity out as far as they can. He also elects to have Anders remote-pilot ''Galactica'' and all of the Fleet's ships into the sun to destroy any advanced technology.
57
58	Onboard ''Galactica'', Kara says her final goodbyes to Anders and leaves her dog tags with him. He replies that he will see her on the other side as she leaves.
59
60	Bill walks onto the hangar deck one last time in a flight suit with his call sign. He takes one more somber look around at the battlestar that was his home and the protector of humanity for the last four years and climbs into the Viper that was restored for him [[Recap/BattlestarGalactica2003S00E01MiniseriesPart1 just before the fall of the Colonies]], and launches from the ship as the last to leave. He takes a flyby before leaving, and Anders guides the Fleet—and ''Galactica''—into the sun.
61
62	At the savanna, Saul and Ellen have one last conversation with Tyrol. Saul tells him that he would have done the same thing to Tory if it had happened to him, and Tyrol tells them that he has decided to head to a remote island (Scotland).
63
64	Bill and Roslin also have a final conversation with Lee and Kara. Bill expresses happiness for their help and support over the years, and hugs his son. After they leave, Kara tells Lee that she won't be coming back either, and tells him that she's completed her mission and feels happy. As Lee goes on about his plans to explore, he turns back and finds that Kara has disappeared. Realizing what she meant, Lee says goodbye and promises Kara [[CallBack that she won't be forgotten]].
65
66	Laura asks Bill what they will call the new planet, and he says it will be named Earth after the place that was their dream for so long. Roslin is happy to see how lush the new Earth is, but her vision is failing her. Bill carries her to a Raptor and flies over the plains. As they do, she admires the beautiful scenery and passes away while Bill looks for a good patch of land to build their new home on. He realizes that she's gone, and with tears in his eyes, takes his old wedding ring off and puts it on her finger before landing his Raptor down near a set of hills.
67
68	Elsewhere in the world, Lampkin, Helo, Sharon, Hera, Saul, Ellen, Gaius, and Caprica-Six are walking along to find a suitable location for a new settlement. Gaius stops and looks on in admiration. Suddenly, both he and Six are surprised by the appearance of their respective hallucinations, who tell them that while their role in God's plan isn't complete, their lives will be much less eventful. They disappear for good, leaving both of them at a momentary loss for words. Gaius then points out that he has some skill with farming, and breaks down upon realizing the gravity of what has happened. Caprica-Six kisses him, and they continue on with the group.
69
70	Bill sits by a funeral cairn he built for Laura. He describes how he's planning to build their cabin, and how the window frames the sunrise perfectly...
71
72	[[TimeSkip 150,000 years later...]]
73
74	Society has progressed to the modern age. In UsefulNotes/NewYorkCity, Head-Six and Head-Baltar are reading a ''National Geographic'' magazine article about the discovery of "mitochondrial Eve" from the fossilized remains of Hera Agathon. They muse to themselves whether this Earth is doomed to repeat the mistakes of its predecessors, but Head-Six tells him she doesn't think it will be the case. She contends that the cycle being broken is also part of "God's plan".
75
76	Head-Baltar replies to her that "God" doesn't like that name, and she slyly looks at him. They laugh and walk off as Music/JimiHendrix's CoverVersion of Music/BobDylan's "All Along The Watchtower" plays over a series of images detailing robotic advancement.
77
78	!Tropes:
79
80	* AteHisGun: Cavil. Whether it was simple suicide as his plans crashed down around him or a reflexive escape attempt done while forgetting he couldn't resurrect anymore will never be known.
81	* TheAtoner: Baltar decides to stay behind and help during the mission out of guilt for thinking of himself instead of others, and because of his need to rescue Hera.
82	* BackToBackBadasses: Baltar and Caprica-Six (and later, Baltar and Lee) repelling Cavil's Centurions in ''Galactica''[='=]s halls.
83	* BestServedCold: Athena passively shoots Boomer with half a clip from her assault rifle after the latter delivers her daughter back to her.
84	* BewareOfHitchhikingGhosts: A longer timeframe than usual, but Kara Thrace died, turned up again and hitched a lift, gave mystical prophecies and information, and finally vanished into thin air when her "task" was done.
85	* BigApplesauce: The final scene takes place in modern Times Square.
86	* BigBudgetBeefUp: The assault on the Colony.
87	* BigRedButton: The nukes in Racetrack's Raptor are fired by pressing a red button in the center of the console (and, inexplicably, with no safety guard). They are triggered when Racetrack's hand falls on the button after her death.
88	* BookEnds: Adama and Starbuck's first interaction, all the way back in the miniseries, was their "What do you hear?"/"Nothing but the rain" catchphrase. It's also the last thing they say to each other before he leaves with Laura and she goes... wherever she goes.
89	* BreakOutTheMuseumPiece: Cavil is using Cylon-war era Centurions among the guards on the Colony.
90	* BrickJoke: During her final moments, Boomer has a flashback where Bill once again chastises her for her [[DrivesLikeCrazy terrible Raptor landings]].
91	* CallToAgriculture: After their final encounter with their Head versions, Gaius tells Caprica Six that he knows a bit about farming, recalling his father's past as a farmer.
92	* CantHoldHisLiquor: Zak Adama was a complete lightweight who had to be carried to bed by Lee and Kara.
93	* CaptainObvious: After Hera is rescued.
94	--> '''Cavil''': Time for us to go on the offensive.
95	--> '''Simon''': We must be cautious. Too much force could risk killing the child.
96	--> '''Cavil''': Really? You think? Please continue stating the perfectly obvious. [[DeadpanSnarker It fills me with confidence]].
97	* CharacterDeath: Racetrack, Skulls, Boomer, Tory, Cavil and (presumably) the remainder of the Fours and Fives are wiped out during the Battle of the Colony. Roslin succumbs to her cancer just after the fleet finds Earth, while Anders voluntarily sacrifices himself to fly the fleet into the Sun.
98	* ChekhovsGun:
99	** Kara's dreams of the piano player (and Hera's drawings) pay off when it gives her the information she needs to enter the jump coordinates to Earth during the final battle.
100	** Racetrack's nukes, which are inadvertently set off after her death and cause the colony to be pulled into a black hole.
101	** One that sat there a long time: early in the miniseries, the ''Galactica'' crew announces that they managed to find Bill's old Viper, restored it to its original condition, and have it on the hangar deck. The first time we see Bill fly it is when he disembarks ''Galactica'' for the last time.
102	* ColorCodedForYourConvenience: The rebel Centurions identify themselves to the Colonial Fleet by wearing red sashes, so as not to be shot by their own side during the Battle of the Colony.
103	* ContinuityNod:
104	** Before she inputs the coordinates to jump to Earth, a distressed Kara states, "[[Recap/BattlestarGalactica2003S03E20CrossroadsPart2 There must be some kind of way out of here…]]" Also counts as a ShoutOut to "All Along The Watchtower".
105	** Just before they leave, Bill and Kara share one last "What do you hear? / "Nothing but the rain, sir" reference.
106	* CreatorCameo: Creator/RonaldDMoore appears as the bystander whose magazine Head-Six and Head-Gaius are reading about "mitochondrial Eve" from.
107	* DeadAllAlong: Kara is revealed to have died during Season 3's "Maelstrom", with all her subsequent appearances being that of a semi-corporeal being who had a physical form and could interact with objects, but is also capable of dissipating fully once she had completed her mission (leading the fleet to Earth).
108	* DeadFootLeadfoot: Racetrack accidentally sets off her nukes post-mortem when her hand slips onto the button.
109	* DeathGlare: Once Tyrol realizes that Tory killed Cally.
110	* DeusExMachina: Kara simply vanishes out of sight just after confirming her journey was over and feeling good. And that is just after she figured out the coordinates of the new Earth from a Cylon song. She turns out to be some sort of instrument for "God's" mysterious ways.
111	* DistantFinale: One that takes place ''150,000'' years later.
112	* DistractedFromDeath: Twice in quick succession. Starbuck disappears when Lee momentarily looks away from her, then shortly after Roslin dies while Adama is momentarily paying attention to flying the Raptor they're in.
113	* DramaticIrony:
114	** Tigh's flashback of him and his wife getting ready to enjoy his retirement… before the fall of the Colonies.
115	** Baltar puts his life on the line to save Hera (Helo's daughter) after Helo sacrificed his shot at safety to save Baltar's life in the miniseries. Likewise, the series began with Baltar making a selfish decision (giving Caprica-Six access to the Colonial defense systems because he wanted a relationship) and ends with him making a selfless decision (to save Hera by convincing Cavil to stand down).
116	* DrivenToSuicide: Cavil in a RageQuit after the final Cylon attack in the CIC goes south.
117	* DrowningMySorrows: Bill.
118	* EasilyForgiven: Averted for Boomer, who is killed for everything she has done despite saving Hera. Downplayed for Gaius Baltar and Caprica Six, whose actions were what enabled the initial Cylon invasion to begin with, though Roslin did attempt to murder Gaius for this when she first found out in an earlier episode, and Caprica Six had to be imprisoned for an extended period of time before the human-Cylon alliance secured her freedom.
119	* EvilOverlordList: After Boomer brings Hera to the rescue team and tells them their Raptor has been destroyed, Athena starts to say something about going back to the Raptor not being "the plan"; Starbuck cuts her off with, "Can we not tell ''[[HeelFaceRevolvingDoor her]]'' the plan?" She's then KilledOffForReal immediately afterwards.
120	* ExactWords:
121	** Elosha told Laura that [[YourDaysAreNumbered she would die before reaching the promised land]]. She lives long enough to see the new Earth and take in its natural beauty before passing away by Bill's side while he's flying them in a Raptor looking for a good piece of land to settle and build their cabin on.
122	** In "Home, Part II" and "Torn", Head-Six explained that she was "an angel of God". The last thirty seconds of the series reveal that she wasn't lying.
123	* FaceDeathWithDignity: Knowing that she's going to be executed, Boomer calmly faces the music and her only LastRequest is for Athena to tell Adama she owed him one.
124	-->'''Boomer:''' We all make our choices. Today, I made a choice. I think it's my last one.
125	* FieldPromotion: Hoshi gets promoted to ''admiral of the fleet'' by Bill just before ''Galactica'' heads out on its mission.
126	* FighterLaunchingSequence: Notably, Bill's final Viper departure out of the museum flight pod with his old Viper, which was restored and given to him back in the miniseries. It follows him as he boards, launches and flies around the ship one last time.
127	* {{Flashback}}: '''LOADS''' of them from the pasts of the principal characters back on Caprica before the Fall:
128	** Adama walks out of a polygraph test for a post-military job when he feels his trust is being questioned too much.
129	** Saul and Ellen preparing for retirement before Adama decides to return to the Fleet.
130	** Several of Lee and Kara after a party, where they almost have sex, but are jarred away from it when Zak stirs in his sleep.
131	** Tyrol emerges from a fling with Sharon Valerii, and Cally (at that point only a friend) [[{{Foreshadowing}} warning him to be careful whom he trusts]].
132	** Laura Roslin finishing an evening fling and dismissing them before calling to throw her support behind Richard Adar's presidential campaign, which ultimately led to her becoming president by succession after the Fall.
133	** The event that kickstarted everything - Baltar agreeing to give Caprica Six a peek at the defense mainframe because of his feelings for her.
134	--->'''Baltar:''' [[LoveMakesYouDumb The things we do for love]].\
135	'''Caprica Six:''' [[WhatIsThisThingYouCallLove Love? Gaius]]...
136	* GainaxEnding: The angels seen by Baltar and Six reveal that Hera is Mitochondrial Eve, and speculate on whether the cycle of humans nearly destroying themselves and a conflict between humans and machines is all just going to happen again. After Head Baltar reminds Head Six that their boss doesn't like being called "God", she looks at him sternly and he cryptically says, "Silly me. Silly, silly me." They walk away unseen through the streets of modern New York while "All Along the Watchtower" plays over a montage of advancements in robotics and AI.
137	* GoingDownWithTheShip: True to his word, Adama is the last man to leave the ship. Anders does steer ''Galactica'' into the sun, though he was more part of the ship than part of the crew by that point.
138	* GrandFinale: As the final episode of the show and conclusion to the main story. It even ends on a ''very'' DistantFinale.
139	* HeroicBSOD: After killing Tory, Tyrol can be seen catatonically sitting against a bulkhead.
140	* HostageSituation: Cavil takes Hera hostage at gunpoint in ''Galactica''[='=]s CIC, just before Baltar talks him down.
141	* InternalReveal: Tyrol finally learnes what the audience has known for most of the Season: That Cally's death ''wasn't'' a suicide and that she was murdered by Tory.
142	* IronicEcho: Before Anders pilots ''Galactica'' and the rest of the Fleet ships into the sun, he tells Kara, "[[Recap/BattlestarGalactica2003S03E17Maelstrom See you on the other side]]."
143	* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Doc Cottle grouches at Laura for going on the mission but is visibly touched when she thanks him for keeping her alive the last few years.
144	* KilledOffForReal: Anders, Boomer, Cavil, Racetrack, Skulls, Tory, Roslin, and [[AscendToAHigherPlaneOfExistence technically]] Kara. Naturally, the DistantFinale does this for everyone else.
145	* LastEpisodeThemeReprise: A variation; one of the main themes from the pilot episode of the [[Series/BattlestarGalactica1978 classic series]] plays when the Fleet goes into the sun.
146	* LetThemDieHappy: When Adama brings Roslin to Earth, it's clear she won't last long. He carries her back to his Raptor, and she dies watching the teeming life of the [[spoiler:African]] savanna where they landed, while Adama talks about trying to locate a spot where he will build a cabin[[spoiler: he knows she won't survive long enough to see built]].
147	* LongLastLook: Adama takes one last look around the launch bay before leaving on his Viper.
148	* LoveMakesYouDumb: Baltar's flashbacks reveal that he gave Caprica-Six access to the Colonial defense mainframe because he was having feelings for her after she helped him find a home for his father, despite knowing that giving a supposed corporate spy access was a highly unethical and illegal thing to do.
149	* LuddWasRight: Upon recognizing an existing tribe with genes compatible with those of the Kobol humans and humanoid Cylons, Lee Adama's idea for a more minimalistic civilization has shades of this, as he does not want to burden them with their old baggage. Romo himself lampshades this, wondering how people can be so quick to give up their creature comforts, though thanks to their desire for a clean slate, most, but not ''all'' the technology is forsaken when the Fleet dissolves into the sun. Subverted in the DistantFinale, which shows that 150,000 years later, modern technology has made a resurgence, including robotics...
150	* MacrossMissileMassacre: Racetrack's nukes, which destroy the Cylon base.
151	* ManlyTears: Bill, when Roslin dies.
152	* MetaphoricalMarriage: After Roslin dies, Bill takes off his old wedding ring and slips it onto her finger.
153	* MultipleReferencePun: Starbuck and Apollo's assault/rescue teams meet up in the Cylon base after getting separated. When Apollo asks where Starbuck was, she says, "Stopped for coffee."
154	* MythologyGag: In Baltar's final flashback, he mentions that if anyone catches him committing treason he'll have his head cut off. This was the original fate of Baltar in the original 1978 pilot, before he was resurrected for the original series.
155	* NeckSnap: How Tory is killed.
156	* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Tyrol kills Tory on the spot after learning that she killed Cally, losing the deal with Cavil's faction and causing a shootout in the CIC in the process.
157	* NukeEm: Racetrack's nukes going off post-mortem throw everything into chaos.
158	* OhCrap:
159	** Tory nervously trying to dissuade Tyrol from taking any aggressive action when she realizes that she's going to share her memories (including Cally's death) with him in the datastream.
160	** Cavil screams, "[[DrivenToSuicide FRAK!]]" before shooting himself.
161	* RammingAlwaysWorks: ''Galactica'' does it to punch a hole in the Cylon base and allow the assault teams to board.
162	* RealWorldEpisode: The final scenes are very clearly meant to invoke this.
163	* RedemptionEqualsDeath: Boomer.
164	* RedIsHeroic: The Centurions that take part in the rescue mission have red "sashes" painted on them so their human allies know not to shoot them.
165	* RidingIntoTheSunset: ''Galactica'' and several other ships from the Fleet are last seen flying towards the sun [[HurlItIntoTheSun to be destroyed]].
166	* RuleOfSymbolism: The pigeon that was in Lee's apartment (and that he couldn't get rid of) and looks at him before flying away is meant to symbolize Kara's role in his life.
167	* SettlingTheFrontier: The colonization of Earth.
168	* ShoutOut:
169	** During the assault on the Colony, the Four inspecting Hera says, "I think you overestimate their chances" when Boomer is worried about the colonials succeeding. Grand Moff Tarkin said the exact same thing during the Rebel attack on the Death Star in ''Film/ANewHope''.
170	** Cavil's suicide closely mimics the suicide of politician Budd [''sic''] Dwyer in 1987.
171	** The GDI's Kodiak flagship from ''VideoGame/CommandAndConquer: Tiberian Sun'' can be seen during one of the establishing shots of the Fleet.
172	** When Bill and Roslin are flying in the Raptor on Earth, they pass over [[Series/MiamiVice a group of flamingos which scatter in response]].
173	* SnapBack: Oddly, despite ''Galactica''[='=]s rundown condition just before it's flown into the sun, the flight pod that was turned into a museum (in the pilot) is left untouched. This is despite it being trashed in the second-season episode "Scattered". It could be {{hand wave}}d by the fact that it's been four years since those events, one of which was spent with the Fleet at relative peace above New Caprica; it is possible that during that time period, the museum was rebuilt by those who assumed that they would be at peace.
174	* TemptingFate: A copy of Simon contends that the Colonials won't be able to attack the Colony because the Cylons have superior numbers. He's proven wrong a few minutes later when ''Galactica'' jumps in and uses Anders to disable the Hybrids controlling their front-line defenses.
175	* TogetherInDeath: The DistantFinale shows that researchers discovered Sharon, Helo, and Hera's bodies, who had apparently died together.
176	* TookALevelInBadass: Baltar, when he decides to stay behind and help defend ''Galactica'' from Cavil's Centurions. Caprica-Six tells him that she's finally proud of him.
177	* TrashTheSet: ''Galactica'', both during the attack and after jumping for the final time. The superstructure of the vessel finally breaks, while sparks and exploding consoles go off throughout the CIC.
178	* UnflinchingWalk: As Cavil and a pair of Centurions stride through ''Galactica''[='=]s hallways while Marines are attacking.
179	* VomitIndiscretionShot: When Bill vomits on the sidewalk during the flashback in the teaser.
180	* WeddingRingRemoval: Bill removes his wedding ring and places it on Laura's finger after she dies.
181	* AWizardDidIt: God was behind it all. Yes, ''that'' God.
182	----
183	-->'''Head Six:''' This too is in God's plan.\
