Episode Report Card Jacob Clifton: A+ | 1 USERS: A+ YOU GRADE IT Nurture Girl

In CIC, Tigh's turning his launch key; on the Basestar Three's begging them to chill: "They want the key to finding Earth as much as we do. He won't just destroy it." Leoben shakes his head, intensely: "We spoke, and the decision's been made." Three doesn't say anything, but puts her hands in the gel, and it goes red and scary looking. I don't know enough about the Cylons to know what she just did, but I think she sent them an email to do something anatomically incorrect to their own peripheral ports. And being Cylons, they receive it in record time. Oh, no, I see it on the dradis in CIC: she just recalled all the Raiders but the one carrying Biers and Gaius. Wow, that's ballsy. Adama and Gaeta are confused; the other Cylons are as well. I guess she told them she was going to do that, though. She repeats to Eight that there's no way he'll launch against just one ship, and Leoben puts his robot foot down. "That's not the issue. We made a decision. D'Anna has to turn back." Three demurs; Six -- now I'm sure it's Caprica -- orders her to Bluetooth Biers and Gaius around and bring them home with a quickness. Three is solid as steel: "No." Caprica's jaw drops. "What do you mean, no?" She is calm. "This is something that we have to do. He won't launch over one ship. You'll see." Still not the issue, especially with Caprica, but I guess we'll see.
"You want me...you want me to rescue Captain Thrace?" Dualla's pretty much disbelieving at this point, even though she knows she's going to do it. He repeats the order and she signs off. "Foxfire One, out." She turns to hottie Sergeant of the Guard Omar Fischer -- he was the one, remember, who took control after Boomer shot the Admiral, so long ago; he's been around -- and clips out a short "We go." I gotta say, Foxfire's pretty much the queen of this episode. I like the writer's take on the character, but the acting is really, really complex and beautiful. Brittle, angry, forthright, dedicated to duty, strong, funny and willing to fight for her family. Hooray for Kandyse McClure, or the billion other ways you can spell her name. So talented, so lovely and real. I haven't loved Dee this much since... the last time we were in a firefight on a strange planet while Roslin and Adama futzed with leaving Lee behind, Starbuck was very super special and important, everybody was acting and making executive decisions like they were in a cult, and Gaius was stumbling through the imaginary religious artifacts of an old and alien culture. Hmm...
