Summary
- Colonel Tigh alerts Commander Adama that surveillance probes they had left on Maytoria reveal a newly-created Galactica-specific distress signal from the planet. While Tigh is hopeful, Adama is cautious, knowing it unlikely that either Colonial Warrior would reveal that newer code to the Cylons, but still wary. Adama chooses not to do anything as turning back for the two could jeapardize the Fleet.
- On Maytoria, the remains of the human population storm the Cylon loading platform, trying to hold off or destroy waves of Centurion platoons. One Centurion grabs a human in a fistfight, saying "Resistance is futile."[1] The Cylon is destroyed by another human, Srep, as everyone makes their way to a Cylon personnel carrier.
- One of the civilians, Freg, is shot and orders Boomer and his team to leave without him. They refuse and carry him along. Srep is shot and killed as the group find the carrier and try to figure out how to fly it: Boomer is injured and is the only qualified pilot.
- Just then, Starbuck and Stadra Ah Mun, believed dead, appear in the carrier, ready to lend a hand.
- Starbuck is able to pilot the carrier away, but soon it is pursued and attacked by four Cylon Raiders.
- By luck, while trying to figure out the workings of the carrier's weapons systems, Starbuck ejects some cargo containers, which slams into one Raider, forces a second to careen into the third and fourth fighters, eliminating the initial threat. Impressed, Ah Mun kisses Starbuck.
- Jatu finds her father, Freg, and is happy to see him.
- Counting their blessings, Starbuck and Boomer commiserate that they hadn't find any data on Earth when Ah Mun enters with a downloaded databank of Maytoria's central library with data that might be salvation for humanity. Ah Mun warns Starbuck that the data won't matter unless they find Galactica.
- As Adama consider a close approach to the Maytorian system for a last hopeful look, scanners detect a Cylon craft -- a freighter. An officer tells Adama that life forms are aboard, but the readings aren't clear.
- Aboard the freighter, Starbuck can't figure out how to make a communications reply to Galactica, but, in his luck, Starbuck inadventently opens a channel successfully, and Galactica gets to see Starbuck and Boomer arguing about their plight.
- Adama interrupts their argument. Boomer requests medical teams standby for casualties on their ship.
- As Starbuck enters the landing bay, Athena and Cassiopeia are there to greet him. Unfortunately for Starbuck, Stadra Ah Mun is close by. Neither are pleased at all by Starbuck's womanizing behavior. Ah Mun moves on as well, leaving Starbuck to stammer about the complexities of women.
- Later, Adama notes that the data from Maytoria was invaluable to their search, and toasts the Maytoria refugees. They plan to convert the Cylon carrier into a home for yet another addition to the ships of the Fleet.
- Ah Mun, Athena and Cassiopeia talk amongst themselves, making jokes between themselves about Starbuck, who is becoming increasing paranoid that the three are discussing his shortcomings.

- Ah Mun Ah Mun and Starbuck talk about the future and how he feels much differently about Ah Mun than Athena or Cassie. As they kiss, a blaster bolt rings out.
