| * In {{alt|Adama|TOS}}'s sleep, a recurring nightmare where he relives the death of {{alt|Zac}}, the [[Battle of Cimtar]], and his failure to save his wife, {{alt|Ila}}, re-runs in his mind. The dream differs, as Ila is executed in front of him by {{alt|Centurion|TOS}}s and Adama himself is forced to watch. He himself begs for death with tearful eyes. He awakens as the Centurion follows through with that threat, drenched in the sweat of his own night terrors. | | * In {{alt|Adama|TOS}}'s sleep, a recurring nightmare where he relives the death of {{alt|Zac}}, the [[Battle of Cimtar]], and his failure to save his wife, {{alt|Ila}}, re-runs in his mind.

Adama consoles his son, reminding him that the Cylons were to blame for Zac's death, and not Apollo. | | * Finishing his sentiments, Adama overhears a conversation between Apollo, {{alt|Starbuck|TOS}} and Athena as Apollo voices his wish that Zac should be with them that day.

| * On a holo screen, Doctor {{alt|Wilker}} conveys an urgent request from his protege, {{alt|Zee}}, who advocates the use of [[temporal weapon]]]s he has been developing. Adama harshly rebukes the plan due to their forbidden nature, but reneges as the battlestar further succumbs to its assailant's attacks. | | * On a holo screen, Doctor {{alt|Wilker}} conveys an urgent request from his protege, {{alt|Zee}}, who advocates the use of [[temporal weapon]]s he has been developing.

| * In the [[launch bay]], Apollo and Starbuck's Vipers are pulled from their {{TOS|launch tube}}s. Zee and Wilker arrive and the Warriors are introduced to two [[Temporal Viper|modified Vipers]], outfitted with prototypes of Zee's [[temporal warper]] weapons, much to the Warriors apprehension. | | * In the [[launch bay]], Apollo and Starbuck's Vipers are pulled from their {{TOS|launch tube}}s.

| * Instructing them quickly on their limitations and use, Apollo and Starbuck launch in Zee's new starfighters. Much to Zee's chagrin, they use the warpers against a few of the Raiders in their sights; the targets are displaced from existence. Zee directs them to attack the basestars, in the hope that their removal from the timeline would ensure their current attack never took place. | | * Instructing them quickly on their limitations and use, Apollo and Starbuck launch in Zee's new starfighters.
