	Several days later, Sharon returns to Helo who is now with a human [[Caprica Resistance\|resistance movement]] that has formed on Caprica. She offers her help in finding Thrace who was abducted during a Cylon ambush {{TRS\|The Farm}}. Thrace manages to escape to the outside of the hospital where she was imprisoned and Sharon arrives at the rescue scene in a stolen Cylon [[Heavy Raider]], destroying several [[Cylon Centurion\|Cylon Centurions]] that attack the Resistance rescue party.

	When they arrive at the Fleet and Sharon walks aboard the ''[[Astral Queen]]'', Captain [[Lee Adama]] reacts violently.

President [[Laura ~~Roslin\|~~Roslin]] urges both men to withdraw their weapons, but then immediately orders Sharon to be ejected out an airlock. Sharon tells Roslin she knows the location of the [[Tomb of Athena]], an ancient place Roslin is trying to find, and she reconsiders, placing Sharon in the brig. Roslin later explains that she suspects Sharon is willing to cooperate, because she wants to protect Helo and her unborn child, something Roslin interprets as a mothering instinct.

	Despite her mistreatment, Sharon continues to support the Fleet and provides intelligence. She helps Captain [[Kara Thrace\|Thrace]] to understand the behavior of [[Raider (RDM)\|Cylon Raiders]] {{TRS\|Scar}}, and frequently assists Admiral Adama to plot the Fleet's course in order to avoid Cylon confrontation. Colonel [[Saul Tigh\|Tigh]] remains extremely skeptical of her increased involvement. Terrorists take hostages on ''[[Cloud 9]]'' and demand her turned over in exchange for their lives. Adama questions Sharon if she'd tell him the names of the Cylons in the Fleet, but when she refuses, it just seems to reaffirm her value to him and he pretends to kill her himself and then turn over her body, in reality the Boomer copy of Sharon's dead body. Unfortunately the terrorists figure out the deception quickly and one hostage is killed, but the distraction allows marines time and a distraction to resolve the situation. {{TRS\|Sacrifice}}.

	More than a year later, and four months after ''Galactica'' and ''Pegasus's'' retreat from [[New Caprica]], Sharon Agathon is now married to Helo. In the year that has passed, Admiral [[William Adama\|Adama]] has taken Sharon into his confidence and she seems to have become his advisor of sorts having apparently fully gained his trust. The two periodically sit down to tea; her cell now has a couch, a table, and other amenities. She tells him that she has come to forgive herself for her actions against her race and losing her daughter and that he must forgive himself for leaving the people behind on New Caprica if humanity and the Fleet are to survive. {{TRS\|Occupation}}. Thanks to her giving him his confidence back, Adama decides to forgive himself for leaving most of the Fleet behind and go ahead with the rescue mission. As part of the plan Adama commissions Agathon into the [[Colonial Fleet (TRS)\|Colonial Fleet]] as a lieutenant (junior grade).

On her first mission, Agathon leads an insertion force that will serve as a liaison between the [[New Caprica Resistance]] and ''Galactica'' during the extraction of the population. She commands two Raptors in an intra-atmosphere jump and links up with [[Samuel Anders]] and his squad at the [[Breeders Canyon]]. Due to an ambush she is nearly killed, but is saved since her Marines anticipated a possible ambush and were in position to deal with the threat {{TRS\|Precipice\|Exodus, Part I}}.

	On the following day, Agathon covertly enters the Cylon [[New Caprica Detention Center\|detention center]] to recover the [[launch key\|launch keys]] for the grounded Colonial ships, bypassing human and Centurion guards that cannot distinguish Agathon from other Eights. After interfacing with a [[Datastream\|data terminal]] and obtaining the keys, a [[Number Three]] enters the room and challenges her loyalty. The Three tells her that Hera is still alive, but Agathon rejects the notion saying that Adama wouldn't lie to her (he didn't: he didn't know the truth), shoots the Three in each leg to slow her eventual report back to other Cylons. When she hands over the launch keys to Chief [[Tyrol]], she asks him if he had actually seen Hera's ashes, which he affirms {{TRS\|Exodus, Part I}}.

	Along with her husband, Agathon is among the crew of ''[[Demetrius]]'' {{TRS\|The Ties That Bind}}. 58 days into their mission to find [[Earth (RDM)\|Earth]], Sharon Agathon and others show concern that Thrace cannot be trusted, and that they have to meet up with the Fleet for refueling {{TRS\|The Road Less Traveled}}. She physically restrains Thrace to prevent her from executing an FTL jump to a Cylon fleet. When Thrace decides to take a Raptor instead, Agathon accompanies her assuring her that she can be trusted despite her mutinying. On the basestar she meets other Eights who ask her to lead a mutiny against [[Natalie]], but Agathon is disgusted at their lack of conviction, saying that they have to stick with the side they chose. During the attempt to get information from the [[Hybrid]], another Eight is shot by a Centurion. After the Hybrid gives Thrace [[Hybrid utterances\|a cryptic message]], Agathon disconnects the Hybrid herself, but refuses to take the mortally wounded Eight's hand and offer her forgiveness and comfort as she dies. Anders does instead and once the baseship jumps back to the ''Demetrius'', Agathon contacts her husband lets him know that they have control of the ship {{TRS\|Faith}}.

Before take off, a remote-detonation bomb attached to the Raptor is fortuitously discovered. [[Cally Tyrol]] brings up Agathon's name and indirectly asserts she is the the unknown bomber. When confronted by Agathon, Tyrol denies making such an accusation, though Agathon goes on to note how she did not accuse her despite equal circumstantial evidence implicating her. Agathon points out Tyrol's deep hatred for all Cylons and hands over her sidearm, challenging Tyrol to shoot her. When she fails to pull the trigger, Agathon grabs the gun back and threatens to kill Tyrol if it is discovered she was responsible for the bomb on her ship. It is later revealed that the explosive was the work of fellow ''Galactica'' officer Captain [[Aaron Kelly\|Kelly]] and was designed to kill Lampkin {{TRS\|The Son Also Rises}}. During the time of Baltar's trial, Agathon is experiencing [[Opera House Prophecy\|mysterious dreams]] of President Roslin, Caprica-Six and her child Hera in the Kobol [[Opera House]]. She later finds out that both Roslin and Caprica-Six deal with the same dreams, but their meaning remains unclear at first {{TRS\|Crossroads, Part II}}.

	Along with her husband, Agathon is among the crew of ~~the~~ ''[[Demetrius]]'' {{TRS\|The Ties That Bind}}. 58 days into their mission to find [[Earth (RDM)\|Earth]], Sharon Agathon and others show concern that Thrace cannot be trusted, and that they have to meet up with the Fleet for refueling {{TRS\|The Road Less Traveled}}. She physically restrains Thrace to prevent her from executing an FTL jump to a Cylon fleet. When Thrace decides to take a Raptor instead, Agathon accompanies her assuring her that she can be trusted despite her mutinying. On the basestar she meets other Eights who ask her to lead a mutiny against [[Natalie]], but Agathon is disgusted at their lack of conviction, saying that they have to stick with the side they chose. During the attempt to get information from the [[Hybrid]], another Eight is shot by a Centurion. After the Hybrid gives Thrace [[Hybrid utterances\|a cryptic message]], Agathon disconnects the Hybrid herself, but refuses to take the mortally wounded Eight's hand and offer her forgiveness and comfort as she dies. Anders does instead and once the baseship jumps back to the ''Demetrius'', Agathon contacts her husband lets him know that they have control of the ship {{TRS\|Faith}}.

	After they return with the [[Cylon Civil War\|Cylon rebels]], Agathon has another vision of the Opera House. She wakes up to see her daughter standing next to her bed and finds out that she has filled an entire scrapbook with drawings of a blond woman and the number "six". Shocked at the drawings, she notices that Hera has left the room and runs out into the hallways. Her search for Hera on ''Galactica'' parallels the Opera House visions. At the same time Natalie is escorted to a meeting with Admiral Adama and she and her guards run right into Hera. Fascinated, Natalie kneels down to be close to the child. When Agathon catches up to them, she draws her sidearm and tells Natalie to back off. Then, after ensuring that Hera is taken to safety, Agathon shoots Natalie, mortally wounding her, fearing that she would take her daughter from her, like the Six in the vision ([[TRS]]: "[[Guess What's Coming to Dinner?]]").
