	=== Battle of New Caprica and Destruction of ''Pegasus'' ===		=== Battle of New Caprica and Destruction of ''Pegasus'' ===

	Commander Adama and his father get into a disagreement over whether or not a rescue mission should be mounted to New Caprica. Lee believes that it would end with the destruction of both ''Galactica'' and ''Pegasus'', leaving the pitiful remnants of the Fleet at the mercy of the Cylons. Lee also objects to the Admiral's decision to reinstate {{callsign\|Athena}} as a Colonial Fleet officer to act as liaison between the New Caprica resistance and ''Galactica''. These disagreements lead to heated arguments between the two, prompting Admiral Adama to make a comment about Lee's weight by calling him a "fatass" and saying he has grown "soft" in the past year ~~("[[~~Occupation~~]]," "[[~~Precipice~~]]")~~. Due to his son's objections, Admiral Adama decides to take ''Galactica'' to rescue the people on New Caprica alone. He gives his son orders to wait 18 hours for his return; if he does not return by then, Lee is to resume the search for Earth with what is left of the civilian fleet. Despite their disagreement, the two have a heartfelt goodbye. Lee tries to talk his father out of the plan and explain himself, but the older Adama stops him. Instead the two embrace and the Admiral gives his son full military honors when departing ''Galactica'' {{TRS\|Exodus, Part I}}.

	Lee is certain that his father will not return, and he is conflicted between his duty to protect the civilians and his duty to his father. His wife's attempt at reassurance only serve to heighten his guilt. Leaving his ship's Vipers behind to protect the civilians, he takes ''Pegasus'' to assist ''Galactica'', fully aware that he may very well be on a suicide mission. He joins the [[Battle of New Caprica\|battle]] just in time, saving his father's ship from certain destruction. Immediately destroying one basestar after exiting the jump, Adama uses ''Pegasus'' to draw fire, giving ''Galactica'' time to escape. This action damages ''Pegasus'' beyond repair. Adama orders the crew to evacuate and the ship's [[Battery\|batteries]] to be set on autofire. He is the last person to leave the CIC, thanking the ship as he departs. The small crew evacuates on Raptors just as ''Pegasus'' rams a basestar, destroying itself in the process {{TRS\|Exodus, Part II}}.

	Despite having a natural knack for piloting, acceptance to test pilot school and being "well on his way to commanding a battlestar someday," Adama tells [[Frank Bruno]] at the [[Caprica Transfer Station]] that he is considering leaving the Colonial Fleet, as he is disinterested in achieving dreams that were his father's alone ([[TRS]]: "[[Razor]]," [[List of Deleted Scenes (RDM)#Razor\|deleted scene]]).

	Adama reunites with both his father and Kara Thrace at ''Galactica'''s decommissioning and conversion into a [[Galactica Museum\|living museum and educational center]] of the [[Cylon War]]. As a part of the ceremonies, Lee Adama grudgingly participates in a final Viper flyby salute, doing little to hide his true feelings from the moment he arrives on the battlestar. Matters are not helped when he discovers he will fly in the restored [[Viper Mark II]] his father flew during the Cylon War {{TRS\|Miniseries}}.		===First Meeting with Kara Thrace===
			In the series finale "[[Daybreak, Part II]]," flashbacks reveal that Lee's first meeting with Kara Thrace was far more intense than previously known, as she had been dating [[Zak Adama]] at the time. Late into the night after the dinner, an immediate, powerful chemistry between the two, with Kara daring Lee to make love to her on her dining room table. However, before they could act on their mutual attraction, the crash of a glass partially awakens Zak, causing them to realize what they were doing. They shake hands and say goodbye, with the moment serving as the foundation for their complex relationship throughout the series {{TRS\|Daybreak, Part I\|Daybreak, Part II}}.<ref name="daybreak">{{cite web \|url=https://bearmccreary.com/bg4-daybreak-pt-2/ \|title=BG4: "Daybreak, Parts I & II" \|author=Bear McCreary \|date=March 20, 2008 \|access-date=July 26, 2025}}</ref>

			:This encounter also introduces the symbolic pigeon that becomes trapped in Lee's apartment after this visit. According to composer [[Bear McCreary]], throughout the finale this pigeon represents Kara's spirit and Lee's love for her—the more he tries to capture it, the further away it flies, until finally he must let it go. The pigeon serves as a metaphor for their entire relationship: the harder Lee tries to hold onto Kara, the more elusive she becomes.<ref name="daybreak"/>

	Things worsen after the PR official aboard ''Galactica'', [[Aaron Doral]], sees Captain Adama's presence on ''Galactica'' as a major PR opportunity and has Adama and his father pose for pictures together. Immediately following this, Adama confronts his father over his brother's death, venting two years' worth of anger and belief that his father was responsible for the loss of his brother.

	''Galactica'' launches its attack on the Colony and rams right into it. Lee leads a team of Colonial Marines and Rebel Centurions into the Colony from through its breach their staging point at ''Galactica''’s bow. They fight their way past Cavil's forces and eventually link up with Kara Thrace and her team, who have rescued Hera Agathon. The two groups head back to ''Galactica'', but are followed by Cavil and his forces. Lee runs into Baltar and Caprica-Six who are helping to repel the boarding parties. Lee and his men provide cover fire for Kara, Helo, Athena and Hera to make their way to safety.		''Galactica'' launches its attack on the Colony and rams right into it.

	After ''Galactica'' jumps to the coordinates Kara Thrace provides, Lee is one of the first people to land on the lush, habitable planet the Colonials eventually decide to call "Earth". They discover that primitive human tribes have already evolved on the new Earth. Lee makes a radical suggestion: The Colonials will abandon their ships and most of their technology and start new lives using only essential supplies and the planet's resources. They will also teach the native humans about language and culture, but not about technology. This will hopefully prevent Humanity from repeating the same mistakes it made on Kobol and the Twelve Colonies. Surprisingly, this idea is well received.

She doesn't know where she's going, but she knows that her job here is done. Kara ~~then asks~~ Lee ~~what he~~'~~s going to do now~~. Lee briefly turns ~~his back and starts~~ to ~~talk about exploring~~ the ~~new world, but when~~ he turns around, Kara is nowhere in sight. Realizing what Kara meant when she said she was leaving, Lee bids Kara goodbye for the last time and promises that she won't be forgotten.		===Final Goodbye===
			Later, Lee and Kara say their final goodbyes to Adama, who has decided to live alone for the remainder of his life. After Adama departs in a Raptor, Kara tells Lee that she is also leaving. She doesn't know where she's going, but she knows that her job here is done.

			In their final conversation, Kara tells Lee: "I just know that I am done here. I've completed my journey...and it feels good." She also says: "Today is the first day of the rest of your life, Lee." When Lee describes his desire to explore and climb mountains, he briefly turns away to look at the scenery. When he turns back around, Kara is nowhere in sight. Realizing what Kara meant when she said she was leaving, Lee bids Kara goodbye for the last time and promises that she won't be forgotten.<ref name="daybreak"/>

			The symbolic pigeon from their first meeting appears one final time in Lee's memory as he realizes Kara is truly gone—representing how he must finally let her spirit go, just as the bird flew away when he stopped trying to capture it. According to composer [[Bear McCreary]], this moment represents the resolution of their relationship: "the more he tries, the further away she flies until finally he must let her go."<ref name="daybreak"/>
