Finally, we have a proper recap of last week’s exciting and multi-layered episode of Battlestar Galactica, 4.04 “Escape Velocity”. After going some episodes without seeing even a glimpse of Caprica Six, it was most refreshing to see Tricia return to the role in this one. As usual, here’s our quick recap of the episode, please highlight to read:

Grieved by Cally’s untimely death, Galen Tyrol’s guilt has him spin emotionally out of control and he embarrasses himself in public by desecrating her memory. Tory, however, seems to have no scruples embracing her newly found Cylon self, and makes no implication as to her involvement in Cally’s death, allowing Tyrol to blame himself for the incident. Meanwhile, Saul Tigh finds himself strangely drawn to the imprisoned Caprica Six, not least because he envisions his dead wife Ellen in Six’s presence, and Tigh’s bottled-up guilt allows the two to bond in a unique way. Elsewhere, encouraged by the virtual Six, Dr. Gaius Baltar stirs intense religious debate in the fleet with his open declaration of belief in the one Cylon God, which has the impressionable Tory convinced of her “Cylon perfection”, much to the satisfaction of the virtual Six. As the debate heats up, the cancer-struck President Laura Roslin confronts Baltar about their past, present and future.

What a complex episode! Though I was expecting nothing less. Anyway, I’ve made some medium-res screen captures of Tricia in the episode, and they will soon be replaced with hi-res ones.

Don’t forget to tune in to Sci Fi for episode 4.05, “The Road Less Travelled”, which airs this upcoming Friday, May 2! Check out the episode’s promo trailer on YouTube (although Tricia fans will be disappointed to see she is not featured in the trailer - the upcoming episode seems to shift the focus back to the Demetrius-storyline of episode 4.03). And that’s all, folks!

Update: The medium-res caps have now been replaced with hi-res ones. Enjoy!
