As Adama (Edward James Olmos) prepares to rescue the human population of New Caprica, Lee (Jamie Bamber) bids his father farewell and takes the remains of the fleet to a safe point to await the outcome of the daring mission. On the ground, things are heating up. Tyrol (Aaron Douglas) leads a rescue team to save Cally (Nicki Clyne), Laura Roslin (Mary McDonnell) and others from summary execution. Meanwhile, Sharon (Grace Park) must fight her way out of an ambush set up by the Cylons, who have been tipped off about her arrival. Humans and Cylons alike face agonizing choices. Tigh (Michael Hogan) learns that Ellen (Kate Vernon) has been feeding information to the Cylons. Kara (Katee Sackhoff) must wrestle with her love for Kacey (Madeline Park), her half-Cylon child. And the Cylons grimly ponder their options as they lose control over the humans on New Caprica the final solution may be to put an end to this misguided experiment in peaceful co-existence by nuking the colony. Adama s rescue effort becomes a

Col. Tigh's (Michael Hogan) imposition of martial law threatens to split the crew and the fleet. He's thrown Chief Tyrol (Aaron Douglas) into the brig on suspicion of being a Cylon and his dismissal of the Quorum has provoked the other ships to refuse to send fuel and other supplies to the Galactica. His judgment blurred by drink and the goading of his ambitious wife, Ellen (Kate Vernon), Tigh sends armed troops to one of the ships to take supplies by force, a move that ends in disaster when civilians are killed. Amid this chaos, Lee (Jamie Bamber) schemes to free President Roslin (Mary McDonnell) to establish a democratic opposition. He makes a break for freedom with Roslin, while Roslin's close aide Billy (Paul Campbell) chooses to stay behind. Tigh threatens to shoot down the Raptor carrying Roslin away from the Galactica, but the can't bring himself to kill his friend s only surviving son, and Lee and Roslin escape into the fleet at large. Meanwhile, Baltar uses Sharon's (Grace Park) love for Tyrol to

Panic grips the Cylon high command as explosions rock New Caprica and the resistance leaders rally the human population to rebel against their overlords. In orbit above the planet, Galactica tries to fight off four Cylon base ships, which threaten to tear it apart before it can complete the rescue mission. This climactic confrontation propels both humans and Cylons toward moments of personal crisis. Lee (Jamie Bamber) remains aboard Pegasus, far away from the battle, safeguarding the civilian fleet. Was his decision to preserve the human race the right one, or should he go back and die in battle beside his father? On New Caprica, Laura (Mary McDonnell) and Tyrol (Aaron Douglas) lead resistance fighters toward the civilian ships that are their only hope of escaping the planet. Tigh (Michael Hogan) agonizes over what to do with his wife (Kate Vernon), who s been exposed as a Cylon informant. Kara (Katee Sackhoff) becomes separated from her half-Cylon child (Madeline Park), and risks her life to rescue he

On Caprica, the reincarnated Number Six (Tricia Helfer) and Sharon (Grace Park) are hailed as Heroes of the Cylon for the key roles they played in the near-destruction of the human race. But these are tortured heroes. Number Six's thoughts are haunted by Baltar (James Callis), just as she haunts his thoughts on Galactica. And Sharon has so fervently embraced her love for Tyrol (Aaron Douglas) and the fake human life the Cylons created for her undercover mission that the Cylon leadership D'Anna (Lucy Lawless) and Doral (Matthew Bennett) are thinking of "boxing" her (putting her consciousness into cold storage). Meanwhile, the human resistance under the leadership of Kara's lover, Samuel Anders (Michael Trucco) is preparing to strike a savage blow, however futile, against the Cylon occupation. On Galactica, the captive Sharon gives premature birth to Hera, the child she conceived with Helo (Tahmoh Penikett). As the infant fights for life, she becomes the focus of intrigue, as President Roslin (Mary M

On the algae planet, Lee (Jamie Bamber) and Anders (Michael Trucco) prepare to fend off the Cylon assault on the Temple of Five - supposed site of the Eye of Jupiter, an artifact which the scriptures claim points the way to Earth. The task gets tougher still when Kara's (Katee Sackhoff) raptor is hit by enemy fire and crashlands on the planet. With limited manpower and the Cylons in full force, Lee determines that they can't afford to go after Starbuck. However, to stave off mutiny by Anders and his men, Lee must order his emotionally-conflicted wife Dualla (Kandyse McClure) to mount a rescue attempt. As the team of marines and civilians try to hold off the Cylon forces led by D'Anna (Lucy Lawless) and Baltar (James Callis), Tyrol (Aaron Douglas) rushes to make sense of the temple's glyphs before the planet s star explodes. Meanwhile, Sharon/Athena (Grace Park) infiltrates a Cylon baseship to rescue her hybrid baby, Hera.
