Overview
- Commander Adama and Dr. Zee must use an experimental anti-gravity ship to rescue a group of children who are stranded on Earth.
Summary
- The reason for the river having become polluted is determined to be the result of a local manufacturing plant is fouling the water supply.
- Jamie Hamilton interviews the proprietor, Mr. Stockton, an unsympathetic industrialist, and comes away unimpressed.
- In the meantime, some of the plant workers confront Troy and Dillon, who simply toss them aside using their super strength.
- The three ill Super Scouts are getting worse. Dr. Spencer is intrigued when his microscope readings on Moonstone produce some most interesting results. It soon becomes clear to him that Troy and Dillon, and the kids, are not from Earth.
- Aboard Galactica, Doctor Zee and Commander Adama realize they have no choice but to rush into service their latest creation, an anti-gravity ship which happens to be shaped like a flying saucer.
- There is only one of these ships to hand, and the only person who understands it fully is Dr Zee, who thus insists on going to Earth with it.
- Troy and Dillon drive the sick kids to a place to rendezvous with the saucer craft, and they bring Stockton along.
- Colonel Sydell and the local Sheriff have picked up the trail and follow Troy and Dillon.
- The anti-gravity ship descends to Earth, and Stockton is scared stiff.
- Adama emerges from the craft and greets Troy, addressing him as Boxey.
- With no time to lose, Galactica's medical team attends to the kids, while Stockton is brought onto the bridge of the saucer to be shown the error of his ways.
- Dr. Zee shows Stockton a glimpse into his own future, a shows video of Stockton weeping at the funeral of Stockton's own son who was poisoned by chemicals from the plant.
- The crew of the anti-gravity ship detects police approaching and prepares to launch.
- All that police find when they finally reach the top of the mountain is a bewildered Stockton.
Questions
- Why wouldn't the Colonials make use of time travel to prevent the Destruction of the Colonies in the first place?
Notes
- Adama is so impressed with the potential of the anti-grav ship in this episode that he wonders 'with a force of anti-gravity ships such as these, we could retake our planets!' Clearly, Adama hasn't given up on the Twelve Colonies after all these years.
