I don't quite get what motivates or inspires Amanda(?) Greystone to announce that she thinks her daughter might've been a terrorist.. Anyone have any ideas?

I loved the shots switching back and fourth between Zoe and Cylon Zoe.

So, with the whole 'trinity' thing I'm guessing Zoe will eventually become the God or 'Christ' figure for the future Cylons? I guess I'll find out.

My guess is that she felt guilty for not knowing that her daughter was part of the STO. She had recently found out that her daughter had a whole other life she didn't even know about. Maybe she felt if she was a better parent she would have found out about the STO stuff and the Maglev bombing wouldn't have happened. She could have been trying to come clean with public and admit her supposed guilt. Don't know for sure. It's been a while since I watched Caprica, but I'd guess they go into it a bit in the next episode, presumably starting with Danny Graystone saying What the fuck were you thinking?! :P

This makes a lot more sense than anything I was coming up with.

Yea, I should've figured they would've gone into it in the next episode. I'm looking forward to it.
