No, no, the payoff is we get to see Jake the dog again.
When have we seen him before?
I was going to comment on the episode, but I think Strega said it all better than I could.
Strong like an Amazon.

Jake's bowl was what the resistance and Gaeta would flip over to indicate that there was a pickup on New Caprica.
because even when they're hungry they're picky
You've never met my cat. Picky is not in her vocabulary, until she gets sick (that was Big Clue #1 when she got a fever a few weeks ago).

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
I was wondering if Romo is the 5th. He seemed to be going off the rails - not unlike Chief. So I'm wondering if he will be revealed as the 5th later on.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider
I do like your wonderings, le nubian, that Romo's odd behavior this ep is because he's a Cylon. Makes sense to me. More sense than a dead cat* causing this otherwise cool and mysterious character suddenly having a personality change where he is less collected. I had thought it was just because we got to see him alone, which I don't think we've really seen before.
Hmmm, if Romo is the fifth, then Jake the dog being given to him kinda ties him in a loose way to the resistance of which three of the final five were a part of. I'm stretching it there, I know. Gaeta should have Jake.
In other natter, my cats have decided that they like to have vegetables in their wet food.
*although I can see that if the cat was all he had left of his life, even if he hated it, losing that cat would be losing his last physical connection to his dead family, the [survivor's?] guilt comes flooding back to the forefront, etc.

Art Crawl!!!
I agree that Gaeta should have Jake.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
What was the title of the episode?

Woe to the fucking wicked.
"Sine Quan Non"
The Latin is "Sine Qua Non", which is interesting (don't know where the n came from). "(the thing) without which, nothing (else)"

Ha! I love that phrase and it amused me greatly to hear them talking about it at length. And clumsily.

I still wonder where Latin came from. Ancient Caprican civilization?
