In sickbay, Chip Six drops her heels and slides around onto the bed with Gaius, pronouncing him to hold a certain luck in life, a kind of serendipity. "You're not one of the Five, [but] you certainly have the luck of the Gods." He reminds her/himself that he's "the chosen one," and Chip Six, hilariously, goes, "You didn't go tell them that, did you?" He's a little woozy; he shakes his head. He's alone on the bed.
"Everybody's gotta have a secret."
(Deleted and then shown anyway, just out of sequence. Maybe it goes here, I don't know. I hope this doesn't keep happening. I like my secret scenes to stay secret, so I don't have to watch them. Except in magical continuity-creating previouslies, which I now think is cute. Roslin tells the Marines to be gentle as they unlock Caprica's shackles in her brand new cell. She's still wearing her black dress from last week. Roslin smiles at her, sits. She isn't wearing her glasses. Caprica stares at the wall and wonders how sick this is going to get. "All we really know is that Baltar was not involved in the attack," says Laura, "and we need more." Caprica finally turns, hard. "And I need to know that I won't be airlocked." Roslin promises, still grinning that scary Roslin grin: "You have my word." Caprica smiles right back. "Like you gave Leoben your word? Before sending him reeling out into space?" They smile hard at each other, crackling. "Yeah," she says, intense: "He told us."
Even more deleted, so much so that I still haven't seen it, but basically Roslin asks her name -- "Caprica," she says, which think about how that's gonna look to a Colonist -- and at least buys that Caprica loves Gaius for real. Caprica asks aloud whether the Colonial judicial system has withered away along with the human conscience -- which I've been wondering since before New Caprica -- and tells Roslin she's not talking unless Gaius gets a fair trial. If he does, she'll volunteer as the primary witness and share whatever Roslin wants to know. It's not like she's going home any time soon; also, I am in love with her.)
