Caprica

Part 1 of 2. Daniel Graystone, a computer engineering genius, owns a large corporation that is spearheading the development of artificial intelligence. His unwavering professional pursuits are driven to extreme measures when personal tragedy strikes him and his wife Amanda: their strong-willed daughter Zoe dies in a terrorist bombing fueled by an underground religious dogma. Unbeknownst to her parents, the teenager had been dabbling in these radical teachings, which were secretly propagated by her school's headmistress, Sister Clarice Willow. Also living on Caprica but deeply entrenched in a cultural heritage that sets them apart from the rest of civilization, is the Adama clan, helmed by Joseph Adama, a renowned criminal defense attorney - with questionable ties and sometimes-devious methods - and father to William and Tamara. When Joseph's wife and daughter perish in the same attack that befell Zoe Graystone, Joseph's path crosses Daniel's, and the two become united in their grief. Soon, Daniel lets Joseph in on a sinister secret: Zoe, a computer genius in her own right, had been experimenting with perilous virtual reality technology along with her friend Lacy, and created a life-like avatar of herself, a perfect digital copy. Obsessed with the possibility of seeing his daughter again, and preying on Joseph's shared emotions, Daniel implores his new confidante to help make Zoe's vision a reality. Appalled by the ethical implications of recreating a soul, but aching to bring his own daughter back to life, Joseph complies...and the fate of the human race is altered forever.

In the wake of the MagLev bombing that killed his daughter, Daniel Graystone (Eric Stoltz) plunges himself into work. He tries to figure out why he can only create a single intelligent robot, not understanding that the answer lies within the fact that part of his daughter survived the explosion and is closer to him than he could imagine. Consumed with grief, Amanda Graystone (Paula Malcomson) is obsessed with discovering who her daughter really was, and slowly begins piecing together the details of Zoe's life. Zoe (Alessandra Torresani), trapped in the robot body, turns to her friend Lacy (Magda Apanowicz) for help. At the same time, Headmistress Clarice Willow (Polly Walker) - a secret member of the shadowy "Soldiers of the One" terrorist group - is also focused on Lacy, putting the girl under pressure from all sides. In the episode's culmination, at a memorial service for the victims of the train disaster, Joseph Adama (Esai Morales) confronts Daniel about the loss of his own daughter. Before they can come to an understanding, they are interrupted by a stunning public announcement from Amanda Graystone, who has become convinced that her daughter Zoe was to blame for the terrorist action.

Following Amanda's (Paula Malcomson) public revelation that their daughter was responsible for the MagLev tragedy, the Graystones must face the wrath of angry Capricans. For Daniel (Eric Stoltz) this includes a confrontation with Sam (Sasha Roiz) and Joseph Adama (Esai Morales) in which Joseph demands that Daniel reunite him with his daughter's avatar -- the essence of his daughter Tamara (Genevieve Buechner), living on in virtual space. Daniel also realizes he can't deal with his grief in private -- this is all going to play out on a public stage. At the same time, Zoe Graystone (Alessandra Torresani) adjusts to living life in a robot. She hopes her friend Lacy (Magda Apanowicz) will help her escape to another planet -- neighboring Gemenon. Lacy is concerned, however, that she is rousing the suspicions of headmistress (and STO leader) Clarice Willow (Polly Walker). While in V-World, the girls meet a frightened Tamara Adama who doesn't understand what she is or how she came to be here. At the Global Defense Department, Agents Duram (Brian Markinson) and Youngblood escalate their efforts to track down the terrorist group responsible for the bombing.

As the fallout from Zoe's involvement in the MagLev bombing grows, Daniel prepares to defend himself and his company on the hugely popular talk show Backtalk with Baxter Sarno. His plan to distance himself from Zoe finds him alienating Amanda, who is still reeling from her own public detractors. As Daniel steps in front of the cameras for show time, Amanda arrives at the studio, with no intention of staying backstage. After ordering the death of Amanda Graystone, Joseph is wracked with a heavy conscience and desperately tries to stop Sam from carrying it out - but hitman brother Sam is already closing in. Agent Duram uses his GDD resources to circle closer and closer to Clarice and the youth of the STO, forcing Lacy and Keon closer together and possibly into an unexpected romance.

The avatar of Tamara Adama wanders V-World, scared, lost, and unaware that she died nearly a month ago in the MagLev bombing. Falling in with a group of gamers, Tamara discovers a new side to V-World -- New Cap City, a place where people live random lives of violence and crime in search of the game's elusive meaning. Forced into aiding a digital crime spree, Tamara befriends a young gamer, until she discovers a devastating secret that threatens everything she knows. Joseph, realizing he hasn't been emotionally present for Willie's grief, tries an impromptu fishing trip to bond with his son. The trip reveals new layers of torment for Willie and leading Joseph to the conclusion that, for both their sakes, he may need his Tauron roots more than he realized. Daniel, after his public promise to forgo future holoband profits, finds himself fighting for his professional life.

Rival industrialist Tomas Vergis arrives on Caprica demanding a meeting with Daniel, threatening to reveal proof that Daniel stole the chip that is key to the U-87 Cylon, and Graystone's military contract. Vergis whirls up a publicity storm that steals the heart of the Caprican public, and surprisingly serves up a friendly offer to Daniel that could save Graystone Industries. But there's a catch to his proposal that could haunt Daniel for years to come. Clarice, panicked that off-world STO leadership has been backing a rogue named Barnabas, steps up her plans to acquire Zoe's avatar program and may find her answer through befriending Amanda. Meanwhile, wanting to fulfill her own promise to Zoe, Lacy goes with Keon to meet the enigmatic Barnabas, opening herself up to a new world of danger. After the revelation that the avatar of his daughter Tamara is still lost in V-World, Joseph starts his quest to find her in a virtual world he knows nothing about.

Amanda's life spirals out of control as she begins to see visions of her brother, who died years earlier. As a result, Clarice sees an opportunity to gain her trust and we learn a dark secret from Amanda's past that could have major implications for her life with Daniel. Joseph compels Heracles, a gamer Tamara befriended, to help him find the wandering avatar of his daughter Tamara in V-World's New Cap City. As they navigate the wild world, an interested party watches from the shadows. Zoe's plan to escape the Graystone lab leads to an unexpected romantic connection, one that might reveal her presence in the U-87 Cylon to Daniel.

Daniel is beginning to suspect that Zoe-Avatar is in the robot, but his pleas for his daughter to reveal herself go ignored. In an effort to flush her out, he launches a campaign of psychological torture, resulting in escalating tests that force Zoe into a choice she cannot take back. Joseph wanders V-World's New Cap City, led by his guide Emmanuelle. The pair comes across a nightclub called Mysteries that could hold the key to finding Tamara. Vergis makes a revelation to Amanda designed to turn her against Daniel.

When Daniel finally sets a deadline for resetting the U-87 Cylon - and unknowingly ending Zoe-A's existence as she knows it - she makes a desperate attempt to save herself. But when her plan backfires, she finds herself out of time and out of options. Furious with a recent comeuppance, Barnabas ignites his feud with Clarice into an all-out war. Trapped in the middle is Lacy, who is forced to make a decision she may regret forever. Daniel makes a confession to an already reeling Amanda that sends her over the edge.

After the devastating events of the season 1.0 finale, Daniel Graystone must put his life back together in the wake of Zoe's escape, Amanda's plummet and the U-87 Cylon's murder of a lab technician. Meanwhile, Sister Clarice travels to Gemenon to make a dangerous power play that will forever change the future of Caprica.

Sister Clarice ruthlessly wields her new power as head of the Caprican STO as she aims to finish her war with Barnabas once and for all. Agent Duram helps Amanda make an alarming discovery.

Zoe's search for Tamara within the cruel V-World comes to an end as Zoe is shocked to see what Tamara has become. Lacy struggles to keep Zoe's secrets amidst Clarice's physical and psychological torture. The conflict between Daniel and Vergis comes to a violent head.

The conflict that orphaned the Adama brothers on Tauron has begun again, and the turmoil has spilled over to Caprica. Sam does his part by sending guns to his homeworld, but runs afoul of the Guatrau who demands he make amends. Sam faces a ticking clock to set things right, and turns to an unlikely ally. Amanda delves deeper into the Willow's home, hoping to send any information about the STO back to Duram. When she clashes with Mar-Beth, the head of household, Amanda has to decide just how much of herself she is willing to sacrifice to learn the truth about Clarice. Daniel struggles to recreate Zoe's avatar program, and is shaken when he finds out just how much control the Ha'La'Tha really have over Graystone Industries.

Lacy is sent by Clarice to join an STO training camp on Gemenon. Her trip introduces her to several other young STO recruits, including a kindred spirit in Odin Sinclair. When their flight to Gemenon is hijacked, Lacy and Odin must keep the passengers together and organize a rebellion before time runs out. Amanda continues to spy on Clarice, but the rest of the Willows begin to raise suspicions about her purpose with the family. As Duram tries to protect her, questions are raised about whom he can trust in the Global Defense Department. Joseph reveals a secret about the Ha'La'Tha that causes Sam to question his loyalties, and Daniel to worry about his safety.

The Adama brothers' new Ha'La'Tha promotions spur memories of their past. As children, Joseph and Sam watched their parents play a role in the Tauron war, rebelling against the oppressive aristocracy. That war that took their parents lives is raging again on Tauron, and the Guatrau refuses to send help to his own people. When Daniel offers a way to send aid to the rebel fighters, the brothers are forced into a decision: which world will they remain loyal to? Zoe and Tamara begin to "clean up" New Cap City, gaining enormous popularity and earning the nickname "The Avenging Angels". As they seep into Caprican popular culture they are discovered by Daniel, who confronts them. The girls escape, and transform New Cap City into a mythical labyrinth to protect themselves. Agent Duram is set-up inside GDD headquarters by Clarice's spy, leaving his confidential informant Amanda with nowhere to turn.

Daniel and Amanda find Zoe, but are quickly shut out of V-World, leaving the only way to her through New Cap City. Transformed by the Avenging Angels into a frontier wilderness, V-World is a place Daniel and Amanda know they can't win without help, which comes from an unlikely source: Sam Adama. At the Gemenon STO camp, Lacy saves a young recruit by unexpectedly commanding a U-87 Cylon...which obeys. In fact, all of the Cylons now obey only her. Unable to understand why, the STO suspects a threat and marks Lacy for death. On the eve of Apotheosis, Clarice and her family discover the truth about Amanda and the murder of their wife Mar-Beth.

Sam leads Daniel and Amanda through Zoe's new virtual kingdom in a last ditch effort to find Zoe and Tamara. Sequestered away in their home, wearing holobands, the Graystones are completely unaware that Clarice and her family have broken into the house and are making their way to them, desperate for revenge. The Guatrau finds evidence of Sam and Joseph's plan to send robots to Tauron and sends men to kill the brothers. Unable to find Sam, Joseph takes his family on the run but needs to make one final stop into Ha'La'Tha territory. On Gemenon, the STO leadership hatches plans to kill Lacy. Her friends band together to save her, but they discover Lacy doesn't want to escape.

A hundred thousand lives are on the line as Daniel, Amanda, and Zoe must stop Apotheosis and the imminent attack at Atlas Arena. Framed as terrorists to the world by corrupt GDD agents, the Graystones discover that the truth about Apotheosis is worse than they feared. Now they must overcome impossible odds or watch Clarice Willow destroy Caprica as they know it. In the wake of devastation, Joseph and Sam have a final duel with the Guatrau. After the fallout of Apotheosis, we take a peek into the future of Caprica.
