 *In the [[memorial hallway]], Thrace notes to Anders that no one has removed her picture from the wall. Anders tells her to cut Adama and everyone some slack, since they are trying to figure out what happened to her. She tells Anders that she figured her experience of finding Earth was a dream. She begins theorizing about the logistics of her return aloud, speculating that the Cylons may have pulled her out of the soup and brainwashed her, or managed to clone her from parts that were extracted from her during her time in the Cylon baby [[farms]]. Anders disputes this, saying that if she were a Cylon, she's been one from the beginning. He professes his undying love for her, even if she may be a Cylon. She replies that he's more forgiving than she'd ever be, in that if Anders were a Cylon, she'd kill him. The ship jumps again and Thrace experiences another headache. She insists that the fleet's going the wrong way. She claims that if she goes through one more jump, she'll lose the way. Anders offers her a bunk, but Thrace begins to believe that the only way to stop going the wrong way is to deal with Roslin. She incapacitates [[Brandy Harder|Harder]], then Anders knocks [[Allan Nowart]]'s gun aside before he can fire it. Thrace incapacitates Nowart as well. Anders asks what the hell she's doing. She asks where Roslin is, but Anders refuses to answer, so she knocks him out. Thrace takes out the marines guarding Adama's quarters, using a stun grenade.<ref>Also known as a "flash bang"; see the [[w:Grenade#Stun grenades|Wikipedia article about it]]</ref> Roslin, who is sleeping in Adama's bunk, awakens to find Thrace approaching her. As Roslin stands, Thrace aims a gun at her head.

Adama orders that the verification be duplicated; however, Gaeta suddenly reports that more than 200 Cylon [[Raider (RDM)\|raiders]] are inbound. Adama orders that the Vipers and Raptor pickets engage the Cylons.
	* Hearing the order, Thrace tells Lee not to lose her this time. "Not a chance," he replies, as both begin engaging the first wave of raiders. Thrace blows the head off one raider, splattering its blood over her Viper.		* Hearing the order, Thrace tells Lee not to lose her this time.

	* Baltar and Tracey Anne, both unclothed, are awakened by the presence of Jeanne and the cultists. Jeanne brings Derrick, who is ill with viral encephalitis and cannot be treated with medicines, and asks Baltar to pray for his recovery. Baltar says that Derrick has to be strong, and they have to be strong for him. Jeanne says that she didn't want Derrick to die in the [[sickbay]]. Baltar reiterates his claim that he prays for Derrick. Jeanne claims to know this, but adds that she believes that the "one true God" doesn't want Derrick to live. A wide-eyed, unsettled Baltar cannot answer this contention.		* Baltar and Tracey Anne, both unclothed, are awakened by the presence of Jeanne and the cultists.

	* In Tigh's quarters, the "[[frakr:Fantastic Four\|Final Four]]" are assembled. Tigh inquires about the "[[The Music\|frakking music]]" and the others reply that they no longer hear it. Tyrol suggests that it may have stopped when they discovered their true natures, but they still don't know for certain what it was. Anders recounts his experience with the Cylon raider scanning him, but they don't know what to make of the Cylons' sudden retreat, or Anders's inability to fire on the raider. Tigh remains adamant that {{callsign\|Racetrack}} was right: Anders had made a "dumb nugget mistake" by leaving the weapon safeties on. They broach the topic of being programmed to sabotage the fleet, like [[Sharon Valerii\|Boomer]]. Tigh vociferously contends that Boomer did not know who she was; they do, and they silently agree to kill themselves before they do anything against the humans.		* In Tigh's quarters, the "[[frakr:Fantastic Four\|Final Four]]" are assembled.

	* Roslin visits [[Caprica Six]] in the brig. Roslin discusses the shared dream they experienced in the [[Opera House]], where Caprica saw more than she did. Roslin asks Caprica to help her with information regarding the Cylons known as the Final Five, since she wants to know if Kara Thrace is one of them. Caprica replies that they are programmed not to think of the Five, but notes that they are close since she can feel them.		* Roslin visits [[Caprica-Six]] in the brig.

	* [[Image:Thrace's headache.jpg\|thumb\|Thrace experiences a headache.]]In the CIC, Thrace is reviewing star charts with Gaeta, who is clearly aggravated. Agathon notices Gaeta's behavior and relieves him. Thrace notes that no one believes her, since everyone seems to think she's a Cylon. In a conversation that begins to get heated, Adama overhears Thrace's reasoning that finding the star systems on their charts won't work. Thrace tells them that she can find the way to Earth by feeling it. She says that the more jumps they make away from their starting point (the Ionian Nebula), the harder it is for her to tell the road to Earth, because they are going the wrong way. Adama dismisses Agathon. Adama reveals that Roslin is adamant that they continue the course laid before them by the [[Eye of Jupiter]]. As they execute another FTL jump, Thrace experiences a headache and says they're going the wrong way and that she fears she may lose the feeling completely. She asks for them to go back to the nebula and while Adama would like to believe her, he can't go to Roslin and ask her to dismiss the writings of Pythia and the information derived from the supernova. Adama reveals that he's just "left her ship," noting that it is pristine, and asks her to explain that fact. She cannot, but swears to the gods that she ''is'' Kara Thrace and that he can trust her on her intuition. Adama painfully replies that he can't afford to trust her, and she leaves with her marine escort.		* [[Image:Thrace's headache.jpg\|thumb\|Thrace experiences a headache.]]In the CIC, Thrace is reviewing star charts with Gaeta, who is clearly aggravated.

	* [[Image:403 - Tigh scream, you scream, we all scream.jpg\|thumb\|[[Saul Tigh]] experiences a waking nightmare in which he believes he shot [[William Adama]].]]Roslin reiterates her belief that Thrace's voice is a "Cylon trick." Gaeta reports that the Vipers have stopped the main Cylon thrust, but the reserves have broken through the line and are headed to the fleet. Adama tells [[Saul Tigh]] that he wants everything launched. Tigh hesitates, then experiences a vision in which he pulls out a gun and shoots Adama in his right eye. He awakens out of his waking-state nightmare as Adama continues to bark orders at him. Adama wants everyone who has "ever held a stick" up in the air.

	* [[Galen Tyrol]] is barking out orders on the [[hangar deck]]. Ensigns [[Diana Seelix]] and [[Samuel Anders]] arrive. En route to their ships, as Seelix goes off, Anders begins to vocally question whether or not he'll turn against "his own" after he launches. Tyrol tells him to "shut the [[frak]] up" and follow Tigh's lead: be the man he wants to be. During the pep-talk, ~~[[Sharon Agathon]]~~ approaches them, overhearing a snippet of the conversation in which Tyrol tells Anders that he is "Samuel T. Anders." She asks who else would he be and then gives him advice to retain his cool out in the fray. She walks off to her Raptor; Anders is relieved that she didn't ferret him out, and hopes the other Cylons won't be able to, either. Tyrol tells him to not give them the chance to find out and to get to his ship.		* [[Galen Tyrol]] is barking out orders on the [[hangar deck]]. Ensigns [[Diana Seelix]] and [[Samuel Anders]] arrive.

	* [[Gaius Baltar]] and his [[Cult of Baltar\|female admirers]], led by a woman named [[Jeanne]], escort Baltar through the ship, heading to a previously-abandoned compartment on the ship. En route, they pass by [[Charlie Connor]], who catches a glimpse of Baltar, even though Baltar is covered in a shawl.		* [[Gaius Baltar]] and his [[Cult of Baltar\|female admirers]], led by a woman named [[Jeanne]], escort Baltar through the ship, heading to a previously-abandoned compartment on the ship.

	* During the battle, a damaged raider sprawls out of control and crashes into the ''[[Pyxis]]'', destroying the ship. Gaeta reports this and Roslin is shocked, saying that they've lost 600 souls. Roslin then inquires how the Cylons were able to find them. Tigh and [[Tory Foster]] exchange glances [[Crossroads, Part II#Act 4\|again]]. Gaeta reports that the [[Basestar (RDM)\|basestar]]s have launched 50-plus missiles. Half are headed towards the civilian ships of the fleet; the other half are headed towards ''Galactica''. Adama believes that ''Galactica'' can take the beating, but that the civilian ships would be wiped out by such an attack; he orders the Vipers and Raptors to shoot down the missiles headed towards the civilian ships.		* During the battle, a damaged raider sprawls out of control and crashes into the ''[[Pyxis]]'', destroying the ship.
