*After arriving in [[CIC]], Baltar is questioned by Tigh on why the Cylon detector failed to screen out Valerii. Baltar makes up a convenient technical excuse that Tigh dismisses as so much [[technobabble]]. The acting commander orders Baltar to test Tyrol. When Baltar suggests he should assume the role of acting president if [[Laura Roslin]] is incapacitated, Tigh tells him he has no power under martial law.

*On his way to the brig, {{callsign|Lee Adama}} meets [[Anastasia Dualla]] in the hall, who tells him that [[William Adama|Commander Adama]] is still sedated, and that there is a lot of protest and dissension within the Fleet.

**It has been (approximately, see timeline issues below) 26 days since "[[Tigh Me Up, Tigh Me Down]]," during which only one result was produced (for [[Ellen Tigh]]), minus the 3 days Baltar spent attending [[Quorum of Twelve|Quorum]] sessions and 2 days stranded on {{RDM|Kobol}}. The remaining 20 day period would only be sufficient to produce an additional 43 results. Tigh's chagrin that "no one's results are definitive" may imply that a substantially greater number have been produced.

**As of "[[Home, Part I]]," this line of inquiry is somewhat moot. Baltar does not know the ''identity'' of the remaining Cylon infiltrators, and regrets not asking Boomer before her death.

*[[Saul Tigh|Tigh]]'s authority on the ship appears to have grown more tenuous.  Numerous officers and crew are now willing to actively assist in [[Laura Roslin|Roslin]]'s escape. [[Anastasia Dualla|Dualla]], Dr. [[Cottle]] and {{callsign|Lee Adama}} are all directly involved. [[Felix Gaeta|Gaeta]] assists indirectly by denying knowledge of the unusual transmissions detected prior to the jail break even after asking Dualla about them earlier. {{callsign|Racetrack}} lies about problems with her Raptor, giving Adama an excuse to return to the hangar deck.

*# I think Boomer represented all the things that were wrong for her at that time, including her relationship with [[Galen Tyrol|Tyrol]]. So, I think she just saw Boomer as this symbol of what was wrong for her at the time. She couldn’t see any other way to deal with it.

*# ''On whether or not Cally was guilty for killing [[Sharon Valerii (Galactica copy)|Boomer]]:'' That is a tough one, and I think about that a lot, because I don’t think it is right to kill anything. I don’t think it can ever be a positive feeling. At the time, she felt like there was no other way, and that was her only option, but I am sure upon reflection in the brig, or when she got back to work, that she saw how it affected Tyrol. That she, she shows a lot of wondering. There is actually a [[List of Deleted Scenes (RDM)|scene that got cut]] [in "[[Flight of the Phoenix]]"], but she finally approaches the Chief, when she is finally sick of him ignoring her, after she has gotten out of jail, she says, "If I had a chance, I would do it all over again."
