I hope that she's fixated enough on getting Hera back that the bopping on the head and yelling at Helo can wait.
I mean, at least she knows he was thinking of her the whole time.
Stop that right now! I can hear the smacking!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
So did Boomer jump and take a bit of Galactica with her, or did she blow up? I was thinking she and Hera died, but I see the other is a possibility.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

She jumped, and the energy release from the jump damaged Galactica.

I vote Boomer jumped. Although, it would have made more sense to jump from inside the ship and maximize the damage.
I wonder if she'll be able to tell Cavil that the Galactica is likely to crack like an eggshell if he looks at it hard.

It makes more sense for ongoing narrative if Hera's still alive. I hate to think of Cavil having his hands on the poor noodle, though.
I wonder why he cares? As a hostage for the F5? Because she's the hope of a blended future--if he didn't want one, he could just off her.
And, really, Kara will do in a pinch.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider
Helo I can handwave as not recognizing that she wasn't Athena, but Hera is half Cylon, she's got to have some of that wireless recognition going on.
Also, why didn't Athena scream or moan or shift, make some sort of noise? Oh god, I want to take a shower after that scene.
I'm rather scared right now, this is not going to end well. Galactica dying is getting too freaky now.

I'm looking forward to Hera kicking Cavil's ass in some fabulous way. I can't imagine that won't happen in some way. I feel like we are going to be left with a less than utterly grim and hopeless end. As much pain as he's put them through, I think RM has too much affection for the fleet to just leave it completely bleak. I think we lose the ship, though. And Mary and EJO probably get to play a heart wrenching death scene.

Somedays I think Hera is the only one with a plan. I suspect she knew that was not Athena.

I feel horrible for Tyrol. He got so totally played, and despite some of his earlier problems (beating Calley, fr'instance) I still really like him, and now he's just screwed himself. They are totally going to find out he arranged Boomer's escape, and they're unlikely to believe his good intentions, not when he damn near killed one of the other 8s and got Hera kidnapped.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.
Athena's mouth was bound.
I think Cavill wants to kill Hera to stop the breeding thing, or to use her to blackmail the final 5 into recreating resurrection.
