*Roslin contacts ''Galactica'' and tries to use her control of the rebel baseship to force the mutineers to surrender and restore Adama to command, but Zarek claims that Adama was executed and Tigh killed in an escape attempt which causes a distraught Roslin to turn the baseship's weapons on ''Galactica''.
*A firing squad led by Narcho tries to execute Adama, but he is rescued by Tigh, Apollo, Athena and Captian Kelly who defected from the mutineers out of guilt.  Adama decides to retake ''Galactica'' and the firing squad joins him, although Narcho refuses and is tied up.
*Gaeta, not wanting a fight, decides to jump away, unaware Adama is making his way to CIC with an ever growing number of supporters to retake the ship.
*Seconds before ''Galactica'' jumps, Tyrol, who remains free the entire mutiny, disables the ship's FTL drive, stranding it.  Gaeta orders a weapons hold, realizing he's lost.  Seconds later Adama and his loyal crew storm CIC and the mutineers give up without a fight.  Having retaken his ship, Adama contacts a relieved Roslin and tells her and the Cylons to stand down which they do.
*Gaeta later meets with Baltar and reveals that he's alright with the fact that he lost the mutiny and discusses his dreams with him.  Gaeta reveals he only hopes that someday people will understand who he is, which is something Baltar understands.
*At some later point, Gaeta and Zarek are executed by firing squad for their actions.  Before he dies, the pain in Gaeta's amputated leg finally disapears.  The rest of the mutineers are jailed on the ''Astral Queen'' for their crimes.
