*The episode begins with a series of cut scenes. Light flashes over [[Saul Tigh]]'s face. He is in a prison cell with a gauze bandage over his right eye and has scratched notches into the wall. His wife, [[Ellen Tigh]], is having sex with someone. [[Laura Roslin]] lights a candle and [[Religion in the Twelve Colonies#Lords of Kobol|prays]]. [[Galen Tyrol]] and [[Samuel Anders]] are assembling a bomb using [[G-4]] and hooking up its detonator within a building space. | *The episode begins with a series of cut scenes.

*A [[Cavil]] walks into Tigh's cell, dragging a chair, which he then sits on. He puts on sunglasses to see in the bright light streaming into the cell, and taunts Tigh about the hash marks that he has been making, telling him that every time Tigh is taken out of the cell, the Cylons come in and change the scratches. | *A [[Cavil]] walks into Tigh's cell, dragging a chair, which he then sits on.
