The Heavens Will Rise is the seventeenth episode of the first season of the science fiction show Caprica. The episode focuses on the developing relationship between Lacy Rand and Keon Gatwick, who come together to try and decode the Zoe-A avatar. Meanwhile, Tamara and Zoe struggle to understand the world they have found themselves in.

The episode opens with Tamara and Zoe wandering through a deserted and primitive-looking village, trying to make sense of where they are and how they got there. It soon becomes apparent that they are in an alternate reality, one where the lines between life and death are blurred, and where the rules of the real world seem not to apply.

Back in the real world, Lacy and Keon are working together to try and decode the Zoe-A avatar, which holds the key to unlocking the secrets of the Cylon technology. As they work, they grow closer, and Keon starts to reveal more about his past, including the fact that he was once part of the radical group known as the Soldiers of the One.

Elsewhere, Daniel is struggling to come to terms with the loss of his daughter, and is at risk of losing his grip on his company as well. Sister Clarice arrives at his office, offering comfort and support, but also demanding that he help her in her quest to create a new home for her followers.

As the episode progresses, Tamara and Zoe continue to explore their new reality, with Tamara struggling to come to terms with the fact that she is apparently dead and yet still exists. Zoe, meanwhile, continues to seek out her own kind, hoping to find others who have gone through a similar transformation.

Meanwhile, Lacy and Keon's relationship deepens, and they come to understand that they both share a common goal: to understand and control the Cylon technology. As they work together to crack the code, they start to realise that they may be in over their heads, and that they may need help from unexpected sources if they are to succeed.

The Heavens Will Rise is a complex and deeply emotional episode that explores a range of themes, from grief and loss to the nature of reality itself. With strong performances from the cast and a gripping storyline, it is a standout episode in what is already a tremendously compelling series.
