Summary

• Lee Adama travels to the battlestar Pegasus, where he meets up with Kara Thrace. Lee has been promoted to Major, and Kara to Captain. The two encounter Commander Barry Gardner, now in command of Pegasus, who orders Kara to the flight deck while he and Lee proceed to C.I.C.

• A Raptor scout group from Pegasus is several hours overdue. Gardner is worried -- but beyond the immediate problem, he believes it is symptomatic of a larger issue on his ship: an overall lack of discipline and cohesion between the men and women assigned to the battlestar. And when things continue to go wrong, Gardner throws the blame at the occasionally insubordinate Starbuck. He restricts her to quarters, intent on shipping her back to Galactica.

• Meanwhile, President Roslin's relationship with Vice President Baltar is growing increasingly strained.

• Gardner is clearly having his own command crisis, and is hurt when Lee suggests that they coordinate the search for the missing Raptors with Admiral Adama (also recently promoted) and Galactica. If Kara's plan to find the ships doesn't work, Gardner suggests that the deaths of the Raptor crews will be on Lee's head. (GateWorld)

Analysis

• Survivor count is decremented by six from "Sacrifice", but seven people died in that episode - terrorists Sesha Abinell, Vinson, Page and Chu, two unnamed marines, and civilian Billy Keikeya. At least one birth must have taken place to offset the population count between the two episodes.
