Caprica 1×08 Ghosts in the Machine Review

Caprica 1×08 Ghost in The Machine Review. Air date: March 19, 2010. Next epsiode 1×09 End of Line.

Joseph and Emanuelle seek Tamara at the New Cap equivalent of the Adama home, but the apartment is inhabited by a drug addict – an “amphead”. As the druggie yields the information that Joseph’s daughter is at a club called “Mysteries,” a gang of drug dealers bust in on the scene and threaten to end Adama’s New Cap life. Feigning innocence, Emanuelle claims not to know Adama, and as the gangsters are focused on Joseph, deftly takes out the whole team with her pistol. Joseph is relieved, but she berates him for freezing up – if he can’t pull the trigger when he needs to, he’ll never be able to help his daughter.

Amanda, still troubled by visions of her long-dead brother, returns to the scene of the fatal crash in an attempt to unravel the mystery, only to see an even more vivid apparition of her brother driving away. Later, as Amanda unburdens her heart to Clarice, the teacher deepens her plot to find Zoe’s avatar by manipulating Amanda to fixate on her dead daughter.

As Daniel’s desperation increases, so do his methods. Playing on Zoe’s traumatic fear of fire, he commands the U-87 to stand still as he constructs a blazing pyre around her. She can end the torture and reveal her presence by simply walking out. Although Zoe is agonized by her terrifying memories and the current distress her father is inflicting, she does not reveal herself.

Only two more episodes are left until the break. SyFy will air the remaining 11 episodes of the season in October.

Rating: 8/10
