Admittedly, I'm not a big fan of Athena, so I wasn't too upset with what Boomer did to her. Athena must have known that Boomer had no choice when she was programmed to shoot Adama, but she never said anything in Boomer's defense. She just outed Boomer to Tigh so he wouldn't let her on the ship and once again, Boomer gets rejected by Galactica.
I think that Athena is all-too-aware that her happiness was always built on Boomer's bones -- Helo couldn't tell the difference between them when he slept with Boomer this episode and, in the deepest way, that makes sense because Boomer was the woman that he originally fell in love with -- he loved the Boomer that worked on Galactica and adored Tyrol. And Athena knows that, she knows that she was originally a copy of the woman that he loved, though I don't doubt that his love for Athena as she is now is true.
