*The [[Thirteenth Tribe (RDM)|Thirteenth Tribe]] are growing increasingly aware of their finite food stores, and frustrated that their leader, Michael Tigh, won't decide on a destination for their fleet. [[Virtual beings|Head Six]] tells Tigh that he must follow [[Pythia]]'s path to find [[Earth (RDM)|Earth]].

*John Cavil says that any given system has a 4% chance of containing a planet able to support life, and they should check each system until they find one.

He criticizes Tigh for leaving [[Lion's Head beacon|beacons]] that could allow the other twelve tribes to follow them. | ||
*A mysterious small ship appears on their sensors. One of the Thirteenth Tribe ships, the ''Anopheles,'' opens fire on it, and follows it into the [[Passage (star cluster)|nearby globular cluster]]. Prompted by Head Six, Tigh gives the order for the Resurrection Ship to follow the ''Anopheles'' and the newcomer into the cluster, as its hull is shielded against radiation. | *A mysterious small ship appears on their sensors.

*Magnus Baltar, the hooded man who "killed" Tigh, killed Pythia, and stowed away aboard the Resurrection Ship before it left Kobol, sets off an explosion, which cripples the Resurrection-matrix, and causes the ship to crash on [[Algae planet|a planet]] within the cluster, killing several people. | *Magnus Baltar, the hooded man who "killed" Tigh, killed Pythia, and stowed away aboard the Resurrection Ship before it left Kobol, sets off an explosion, which cripples the Resurrection-matrix, and causes the ship to crash on [[Algae planet|a planet]] within the cluster, killing several people. | ||
