Cally's full name is revealed for the first time as Calandra Henderson Tyrol (according to the closed captioning). Only her nickname, Cally, had been revealed previously.

She appears in this episode only in flashbacks. (edit) Although credited in the main titles, Grace Park does not appear in this episode. (edit) In a previous episode, Head Six appeared to smash Baltar's face into a mirror but it was not clear if Baltar threw himself into the mirror on his own. In this episode, Baltar seems to be held up and supported by Number Six in front of a crowd of onlookers. This is the first external sign that Number Six can have a physical effect on Baltar's body. However, Ronald Moore stated in the podcast commentary that the scene may misrepresent Head Six and her possible effect on Baltar. Moore says that the onlookers would not think that someone or something was holding Baltar up. (edit) As of the end of the teaser, there are 39,675 survivors, one fewer than the total listed in the previous episode. (edit) Aaron Douglas read the "Previously on Battlestar Galactica" line at the beginning of this episode. (edit)

Tigh: (about the death of Cally) Chief, what you're feeling is what a man feels when this happens. It's normal and it's human, and it's not gonna end anytime soon. It'll be there every day. You'll see her every day. You'll see her. Be a man, Chief. Feel what you've got to feel. But don't risk us! (edit) Head Six: People have room in their hearts for one great belief. You or the old gods -- which one will it be?
Baltar: Why can't I just be a man? Do I really need to take on the gods single-handed? (edit) Baltar: (to his followers) Stop! Stop. This is unacceptable. We have been targeted because of what we believe by those who answer to faceless gods that bear no relevance in our world. They want us to be afraid, and I am tired of being afraid. The time has come to make a stand and that time is now. (edit) Roslin: Searider Falcon. I haven't read it in years. I don't remember how it ends.
Adama: I don't either. I've never read the ending.
Roslin:You're kidding. It's your favorite.
Adama: Well, I like it so much that I don't want it to be over, so I'm saving it. (edit) Baltar: (to his followers) I'm not a priest. I've never even been a particularly good man. I have, in fact, been a profoundly selfish man, but that doesn't matter. You see, something in the universe loves me. Something in the universe loves the entity that is me. I would choose to call this something God, the singular spark that dwells in the soul of every living being. If you look inside yourself you will find this spark, too. You will. But you have to look... deep. (edit)

When the Raptor crashes during the emergency landing, its nose and front section are torn off from the impact. When Chief Tyrol and Figurski are examining the wreck in the maintenance bay, the nose and front end are still attached. (edit) During the Raptor crash, two bodies can be seen ejected from the cockpit as the wreckage slides across the landing bay after the front of the Raptor is torn off. The bodies are only visible for a couple of frames. This explains how Racetrack and Skulls were able to survive. (edit)
