With time running out, the team splits up. Dillon and Stockwell go to sabotage the rocket, while Troy and Jamie head into the rocket base bunker to confront Xavier. Reaching the launch pad Dillon fires on the V-2 as it takes off with his laser destroys it. Xavier having failed, he comes immediately under suspicion by the Nazis. 'This man is a spy,' declares General Jodl. Troy and Jamie, who are still posing as German soldiers, oblige, but not long after
Xavier captured, the Galacticans and Stockwell now turn their attention to making sure the convoy to Auschwitz is stopped. Flying through the air on their motorbikes, firing on the German guards, while Stockwell springs the Jews from the boxcars. Jamie, realizing what the date is, explains that the Nazis can't pursue them, since the D-Day landings have begun and the local German units have all been ordered to Normandy.
The time has come to return to 1980, and Stockwell says a sad goodbye to Jamie. Unfortunately, just as they are approaching the Vipers, Xaviar wriggles out of their grasp, activating his invisibility screen, and gets away.
Returning to 1980, Troy and Dillon land their Vipers in California and proceed to drop off Jamie at a rural bus station. As the Greyhound drives away, a sheriff recognizes Troy and Dillon from a wanted poster. The sheriff pursues the duo in his squad car, but the Galacticans again escape into the air on their bikes.
Arriving back at the field where they parked their vipers, Troy and Dillon discover the ships are being taken away by local military and police. Troy and Dillon discover this is due to a boy having discovered their Vipers, and go to find Willy at school. Once there, they discover Willy has been getting beat up for his spreading of tall tales about spaceships by a bully named Tucker. Troy and Dillon make a deal: if Willy will tell them where the Vipers have been taken, they'll lend him one of their wrist computrons. Willy uses the computron to go invisible and proceeds to torment Tucker. Having gotten back at the bully Willy tells the Colonials the location of their ships, and also mentions there was a third Viper - the one belonging to Xavier!
Colonel Boomer comes to see Adama to bring him up to date on the developments, and the Commander has all the Colonial missions to Earth recalled until Xaxier can be located. Xavier in the meantime has returned to Los Angeles, and seeing a UBC news broadcast, determines to go to the studio to look for Dr. Mortinson. Xavier convinces two LAPD officers to give him a lift to UBC. Arriving there, Xavier uses invisibility to lose the officers, who have grown suspicious and identifies himself to Dr Mortinson as one of the visitors from space.
Arriving at Mortinson's beachside home, Xavier goes tries to convince the scientist about the benefits of returning to various time periods in to change Earth's history. Troy and Dillon track down Jamie at UBC to let her know what they believe is happening. Jamie calls Mortinson to warn him about Xavier, but before Mortinson can react, Xavier pulls a gun on him. Arriving at UBC, Troy and Dillon meet Jamie, and together they head out to the base where the Vipers are being kept, in hopes of heading off Xavier. Jamie uses her feminine wiles to lure away one of the sentries and Troy and Dillon sneak in. As they do, Xaviar materializes in his own viper, wearing a stolen Marine uniform, and is using the base's generator to suck up enough power to launch. The villain spots our heroes and gets off a shot at them, before putting Troy down with a stunner. Before Troy can stagger back to his feet, Xaviar is airborne, leaving his hostage Dr. Mortinson behind.. A dozen sentries are now bearing down on them, but Troy and Dillon dispatch them effortlessly with a few laser stun blasts.
As Dillon jumps into his Viper, he discovers Jamie already in the back seat. Launching their ships, Troy and Dillon pursue Xavier into space, but they are too late - just as they open fire too late Xavier's Viper enters a timewarp.
Troy, Dillon and Jamie return to the Galactica, and meet with Adama in his quarters. Adama reveals that Xavier has gone to 18th century to interfere in the history of pre-Revolutionary America. Jamie agrees to help Troy and Dillon with this next mission.
