Ten Months Ago: Ellen is shown the explosion at the Eye of Jupiter in the Temple of the Five where the 13th tribe stopped on their way to Earth 3,000 years ago. Cavil tells her about boxing D’Anna because she saw the faces of the Final Five, but Ellen says that’s temporary, unlike the permanent boxing of Number 7.

Cavil rages about his silly human body, questioning why the Final Five would force him to be in such a limiting vessel when, as a machine, he should be capable of so much more. Ellen has no problems, because the Final Five purposefully made the skinjobs to be more human so they could love and have free will.


Present Day: The brain surgeon arrives and he’s played by The Daily Show correspondent John Hodgman, also known as the PC in those Mac commercials. It’s strange seeing him on this show, and he wants to remove the bullet from Anders’ head, but it might make him lose his memories. He doesn’t want this because he has so much more to explain. For that matter, I don’t want it either, because I’m loving all this backstory.

Cavil was the first skinjob created, but he didn’t accept the love and single God that the Final Five tried to instill in him. So Cavil killed the Final Five and stopped them from accessing their memories during their download, hence their inability to remember their true Cylon nature. They were then slowly introduced into the world one at a time.

Right as Anders is carted off to surgery, Kara begs for information about Number 7, and he tells her he’s dead and was named Daniel. The surgery is a success in that the bullet was removed, but a failure because Anders is now apparently brain dead.


Four Months Ago: The Resurrection Hub is destroyed. Cavil is furious and he wants Ellen to help him recreate resurrection technology once again. She claims that it would take all of the Final Five to do it. Cavil threatens to torture the hell out of her.
