The episode opens with Tyrol being interrogated by Tigh,
after his return to the Galactica last episode. Tigh believes that Tyrol was
collaborating with Sharon, and that he had something to do with the
assassination attempt against Adama. Tyrol tries to plead the right to
remain silent but Tigh tells him Cylons have no rights. Tyrol becomes
indignant at being called a Cylon and Tigh hits him.
Tyrol is put in the same cell with Sharon who is shocked to see him there.
She tries to talk to him but Tyrol losses him temper and tells her to stay
away from him.
On the surface of Kobol a group of resistance fighters are planning an
attack against a group of Cylons. Kara and Helo sit reading a map and the
resistance group mistake them for Cylons. They narrowly avoid getting shot,
and after a shooting match, everyone ends up with a gun pointed at there
head.
On board the Galactica Baltar is sent to see Tigh, but Kally stops him and
tries to convince Baltar that Helo isn’t a Cylon. Kally ends up blackmailing
him: save Helo or she’d tell everyone that Baltar shot Crashdown, even if it
was saving her.
Baltar manages to convince Tigh that they should t least run the test and
try to establish if Helo is a Cylon. Tigh’s day just keeps getting worse
with protests breaking out amongst the fleet. Quite a few of the ships are
refusing to give Galactica supplies until the declaration of Martial Law is
repealed.
Lee heads back to his cell after a briefing with the pilots. He ‘runs’ into
Dee the way back and she informs him about everything that’s happening over
the fleet. Tigh’s wife tells him to take a very strong stance against the
protesters. He falls for her plan and orders the rest of the fleet to supply
the Galactica or ‘stern’ measures will be taken.
On Kobol both groups argue about who is actually a Cylon. It turns out the
resistance group is actually a sports team lead by a guy called Anders. They
survived because they were up in the mountains when the Cylons attacked.
Everyone puts down there guns are reaches an un-easy truce.
Because of Tighs actions a couple of other ships have joined the protests.
Tigh – being Tigh – decides that the best way to respond is violence. He
orders a group of marines to be sent to every ship that’s refusing to supply
the Galactica.
On board one of the ships a group of marines are met with violent protest.
Someone fires a shot; the marines flip, and start firing at the civilians.
The marine commander vaguely manages to regain control, but four people die.
Roslin and Lee talk about Tighs actions and they reach the conclusion that
they’ve got to escape. Lee has a plan, but he knows for a fact she isn’t
going to like it.
Sharon apologises to Helo for getting him dragged into this but he’s
incredibly cold. Baltar walks into the cell with a needle and takes blood
from Helo. Baltar knocks out Helo and tells Sharon he knew all along. Baltar
then tells Sharon that unless she admits how many Cylons there are in the
fleet Helo will die. Sharon claims not to know, and tries desperately to
revive Helo. That doesn’t work and she tells Baltar that there are eight
Cylon models. He rushes over and saves Helo.
On Kobol Anders and his team take Kara and Tyrol to there base, which has
quite a few people.
Roslin goes to see Cottle and asks him for his help. Everyone goes about
doing there part in the plan to get Roslin off the Galactica, which involves
various things.
Lee goes to see Adama and apologises for the fact he’s going to Helo Roslin
escape. Someone grabs Roslin from her cell and they flee along a closed
causeway, but someone is waiting at the end. Roslin manages to convince the
guard to let her through the hatch. They go to board the Raptor but Billy
can’t go because it’s going to divide the fleet and he doesn’t want to be
part of that.
Lee manages to get clearance to fly the raptor off Galactica on a so called
Medical Mission under the guise of Doctor Cottle. It’s then reported to Tigh
that Roslin has gone missing and they do the math. They soon realise that
Cottle is still on board and that it’s Lee flying the Raptor.
They try to contact him but Lee refuses to turn back, and manages to reach
cloud Nine before anything happens to him. Someone surprising is there to
meet them: good old Tom Zarek.
Baltar tells Help that he isn’t a Cylon and he gets released from the cell.
Ellen is giving Tigh hell for letting Lee go and Adama walks in. He asks
what’s going on and Tigh explains.
