One question though, how could there have been a window onto open space on the SIDE of the tube? I can think of at least three reasons why that shouldn't be there.
My viewing of the episode wasn't top quality, so I might've missed it, but were there any stars seen through the second window?
Though, whether it was supposed to go out into space or not, they fudged it. I've done an awful lot of research into the configuration of the bays as I've been making a CG model of them, and there shouldn't be a second window like that. Through the window you should see the launch control booth or the adjacent tube, depending on which tube you're in. I think they changed it for that particular shot so they could get a clear enough view of Cally's reflection, which might not have been possible if you could see the partially lit control booth, which is supposed to be there.

Lee: Er...so you're saying she deserved to die because she wasn't paying attention to the soldiers standing behind her while a firing squad of toasters lined up to kill her? Pardon me, but that's bollocks
Yeah, I saw stars. It was full of them.
It bugged me too. There's supposed to be a long-ass tube leading from the exterior doors to space proper. A window wouldn't physically work there; they were tens of meters away from the hull at *least.* Maybe it's some higher-dimensional buggery

Lets not forget the problems a tiny window that leads out to open space could cause to a Viper launch tube. If that thing gives, it could skrew up the entire launch process and cost live
(also, according to my calculations, that would be window numero dos that has ever been seen on board Galactica)

Jesus wept. I'm not saying she deserved to die. I'm just pointing out a curious little bit of symmetry, that was probably unintentional, between her fate and that of a person who she MIGHT just have owed her survival to at one time, and who she MIGHT have been able to save herself, if only she hadn't been so terminally vague about, well, everything!

Come to think of it, if they don't have a little red light above a panel that says "someone's opened a bloody airlock!", then surely they were only aware that Cally had been killed when they either picked her up on DRADIS (if it can pick up such small objects), or she bumped into another ship!

We don't know, so in the next episode we'll probably just hear that Nicky was found crying in a corridor somewhere. Tori can easily avoid incriminating herself.

Found something interesting on another forum about the makeup of the Demetrius' crew.
We've got Starbuck (command), Gaeta (navigator), Helo & Athena (Raptor pilots), and the Viper pilots Anders, Seelix, Pike, and the unnamed tattooed pilot. The tattooed pilot has been there since the miniseries, and Pike was first seen during the liberation of New Caprica.

Perhaps smokin' Doc has the child under observation after such an experience? After all, mommy jumped out a Viper tube, did she hurt the baby before hand?

But if they found Nicky abandoned, I think that should tip off the Chief that something was wrong (i.e. it wasn't suicide). After all, most people wouldn't leave their kids in some random location like that.
Speaking of kids, if Helo and Athena are on the Demetrius, then who's babysitting Hera? Not Roslin, I hope...

^EEP! I don't know of *ANY* parent (the sane ones, anyway) that would go off without their very young child for several months. Okay, military service is a different situation, but this isn't exactly the same thing. One parent having to go off to serve is one thing, but not both! Not only is it not good for the child, but the parents would probably be a wreck after even a week of no contact.
You don't suppose Hera was in a crib tucked away in a corner?

Taking a baby on a dangerous voyage aboard a sewage ship with minimal defenses would be a pretty stupid thing to do, so you can bet that's exactly what Helo did.
