Ha! I was considering letting things in the safe house go much further...but I think their mindsets were so far from even considering that. Death was all around them, they had a mission to complete, they were questioning if they should have come at all, the quiet intimacy of just sleeping beside one another was enough for them (in my head!)
Exactly! Just because she often breaks rules doesn't mean she doesn't need them. She needs the ability to push back against something and on Caprica there is truly nothing.
Part of Lee's thoughts about Zak are also just sort of Lee dreaming Zak up to be far better than he ever was. He's dead, so he gets sort of sainted in everyone's mind, although I do think Zak would have grabbed that kid and ran right away, then thought about the consequences later (whereas Lee lets himself think about it for a moment before he tells Kara to grab the kid).
Not returning to the fleet is an interesting idea. I just don't know where else they'd go. At this point there's no separate "good" cylon force yet, and as great as Boomer was, I don't think they'd ever really trust her for a sliver of time more than they did. Lee's still Commander, Kara's still needed in the fleet, so they go the only place they know is safe and hope to make sense of it when they get there.
