Roslin makes a speech to the fleet about the lack of tilium,
during the speech she starts to hallucinate that she’s seeing snakes on her
podium. She does a good job of keeping it together, but starts to unravel.
Sharon and her co-pilot crash search for ore. Crash manages to locate some,
and is extremely elated but soon come crashing back to earth when realise
that the Cylons are completely swarming the planet.
On the CIC they talk about possibilities but Adama decides they must
mobilise against the Cylons.
Adama talks to Kara about the new pilots, she seems happy enough with there
progress.
Roslin talks to one of the fleet’s priests and tells her about the visions
she’s been having. When she talks about the snakes the priest is
dumbfounded. Apparently there is a resonance between Roslins’ snake dreams,
and Pythia. She discounts this because the ‘anointed leader’ suffered a
wasting disease and would not live to see the new world.
On the CIC Adama asks Kara to come up with a plan, something really
unconventional, in order to get the fuel from the Cylons. She comes up with
quite an original idea. It’s explained to Roslin and Adama, who both confirm
it’s worth a shot. After all they don’t really have a shot.
They quiz Baltar on the operations of a Cylon Base. He tells them they have
to hit an exact spot, and the place will explode without any bad effects on
the ore. He pleads with Six for help on which point they should aim for, but
she claims to know nothing. Six tells Baltar that he should ask God for
assistance, he becomes frustrated, and on a whim makes a random guess.
Six is elated that he ‘trusted himself to God’ but Baltar denies ‘God’ has
anything to do with it.
Adama informs Kara that she can’t take place on the raid because of her
damaged knee. Needless to say she isn’t best impressed but is forced to
admit that he’s right.
Kara gives Lee advice on how to carry out his mission. He is slightly peeved
that Kara doubts his ability, but it becomes clear he isn’t entirely
convinced himself.
On Caprica Sharon and Helo hide from the rain, with her not feeling very
well.
Lee and Adama have a heart to heart about Lee doubting his own ability.
Adama gives Lee something that belonged to his grandfather as a good luck
symbol. Adama tells Lee that he never doubts him for a second.
On Caprica Helo is shocked to see a version of Number Six leading a group of
Centurions. They flee the location, but he is still stunned, not realising
that Cylons can look like Humans now.
The Cylons take the decoy bate, but spot the attack force and send a group
of Vipers after them. It really doesn’t go well in the slightest. Once the
Cylons have done some serious damage they head towards an unprotected
Galactica.
Galactica send a short message in Code to Apollo, who it turns out have a
small reserve section to go after the Cylon base.
In what seems like a crazy suicide run, with Cylons hot on his heels, Lee
and a bunch of his Vipers run along the top of the planet. Quite a few
people miss; Lee goes in himself and manages to blast the base sky high.
It’s quite similar to the Death Star run from Starwars. Sadly though it’s
not without loss of life.
Baltar is extremely stunned while everyone celebrates around him. Lee
returns a hero, and Kara congratulates him on doing such a good job.
Six asks Gaius if he’s read the Pythian prophecey and quotes: ‘All of this
has happened before, and all of this will happen again’. She mentions the
serpents, and insists the Baltar had been led by ‘God’ to chose the point he
did. Baltar agrees with her, and now beleaves himself to be led by gods
will.
