Sam watches the GDD agents banging on Amanda's door, and once again tells Joe to leave him alone, and then at the door Jordan is ten tons of intense with Amanda, who predictably screams her ass off about the warrants. He tells her to chill -- "We're not gonna do anything to her, we're just trying to find out who turned her into a bomber" -- and she invites herself downstairs to watch them ransack her room. She yells at him to watch out for Zoë's cello, and he gets a little snotty ("Careful with the cello," he barks at the guy) and then just watches Amanda slowly lose it some more.
Finally, Jordan breaks it down for her, what they're going for: "...Who she met with? Who brainwashed her into believing in a moral dictator called God? Maybe the name of some other kid who blew up a Caprican business in the middle of the night? I really don't know." Jordan sure hates big-g God, doesn't he? Amanda's exhausted but not down for the count, but then Youngblood finds that infinity pendant in Zoë's jewelry box. Which Amanda starts yelling about, because she was the one that put it there -- not that it matters, but it speaks to her mindset and the breakthrough from before: The necklace was Zoë's, she can buy that, making it a part of her daughter she still doesn't understand, but still wants to, so she put it where it belongs. All the pieces of her daughter, the puzzle. "There are loose ends, Doctor, and I'm sorry if we have to take your daughter's life apart in order to put other terrorists behind bars. But if we have to, then so be it."
Amanda hears something in his voice, there at the end, and while her question is good -- "What is this to you?. Did you lose someone on that train?" -- his silence is better, and his eventual answer is best: "I lost everyone on that train." So awesome. Now, I don't trust him one inch, because he seems just as one-track as anybody else you can't trust on this show, and that's clearly not the real whole answer anyway, but as a thing for a person to say? Dude, I went from total hate to total love for Lee Adama just based on him saying shit like that.
Lacy shows up at Keon's bike shop, and after he hustles his customer out, he tries to slam the door on her a couple of times, but she's fast and pointy, so he is stymied. She forces her way in and reminds him about how she crushed him in her tiny hands last time and that he promised to get her and a giant robot to Gemenon. "You shouldn't have scampered off during the locker search. It made you look guilty." (Unlike standing there in nose-and-glasses whispering, "I'll walk away and then you walk away and then we will have a secret terrorist meeting away from these global investigators about how we are terrorists with a bomb in your bookbag, okay?" which was of course slick as hell.)
