Taking a Break From All Your Worries[edit]

While there are no objective time indicators as to specifically how much time after "Rapture" has elapsed, Baltar's beard has grown longer and Starbuck's burns on her hands are completely healed. This suggest that at least a few weeks have elapsed between "Rapture" and "Taking a Break From All Your Worries".

Maelstrom[edit]

No timeline markers are available for this episode. However, it begins on day four of Fleet refueling operations

The Son Also Rises[edit]

The episode takes place two weeks after "Maelstrom". Aaron Kelly notes that he has been doing his job "for two years now", which is obviously a considerable underestimate, but at least it can be inferred that it has not yet been three years (1095 days) since the holocaust.

Crossroads, Part I[edit]

The episode takes place approximately one and a half months after "The Son Also Rises". In that episode, William Adama states that Baltar's trial is supposed to start in two weeks. However, "He That Believeth In Me" takes place over two months after "Maelstrom", with no space for significant gaps from "Crossroads, Part I" to "He That Believeth in Me". Thus, it seems that the trial starts later than noted by Adama.

Crossroads, Part II[edit]

The episode continues nearly directly from "Crossroads, Part I". Romo Lampkin places Lee Adama's meeting with his father in the previous episode "four days ago".
  • Sharon Agathon, Laura Roslin, and Caprica-Six discover that they are experiencing a shared dream to save Hera Agathon
